Welcome to Day 14 of 31 Ways to Embrace Lopsided Living! Remember yesterday when I said to choose best over good. So true, right? But let’s face it, we can’t be the best at everything we do. Nor can we give our best to every situation or activity we are involved in. It isn’t possible. Not only that, some things really don’t need our best — they just need to be done. My problem is I lean toward the perfectionist, Type A, and possibly a little compulsive type. And I'm guessing some of ... [Read More]

We are works in process {and that’s okay!}
Today I want to share a verse I've found encouraging in my Lopsided Living journey. AND I AM SURE OF THIS, THAT HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL BRING IT TO COMPLETION IN THE DAY OF CHRIST JESUS.
