Perfect Imperfection

Hey there! How are you doing? I hope you are amazing. A lot has happened over the course of these weeks that have passed by. I remember promising myself that I'll be consistent with writing here but you know life just takes you by with a lot of activities and we kinda forget the things we love to do. Well I'm here now, and I hope you didn't miss me too much😉

 

 Today I was walking back from my class under the trees with the wind in my hair and the sun in my face( 😅 not trying to be poetic), and I was reflecting on how much of how I thought of myself to be this perfect little girl when I was younger, I was one of the brightest, the prettiest and even maybe the kindest and my worth came from the things that I thought people perceived of me. I never thought of myself as messy or thought I could ever struggle. I knew I had certain challenges but I never thought too deeply of them.

 As I've grown in these past few years I've come to see a lot of things that I'm not too great at. Now in university, I no longer feel like the brightest or prettiest even the kindest. I'm messy and disorganised and so so imperfect and that I need so much help. I've realised a lot about myself and my real struggles, things I am comfortable with and those I am certainly not. It's really shocking to me a lot of all the things I have to work on as I get older and how I can better understand my imperfections in a way to improve myself and most importantly change the people and situations around me. I also get to understand a lot more how we humans are so complicated and again messy because to understand the people around me I have to understand myself, my reactions and inreactions, my complications and the not so complicated intricacies of my being.

After all I've said, there's a scripture I love so dearly, 2 Cor 12:9: 

This just reminds me that God loves His people imperfect, He loves them weak, and in those people, His power is so evident in our lives, in the fact that we cannot do without His power upholding us. It really is just so mind-blowing.

So my imperfect people, do not weary in your weakness or imperfections, just know that you are exactly who God wants to manifest His power through. I have a secret for you, you are God's perfect candidate to be used, yes you heard me right.

Love and Peace.

Thank You!!!😁😁😁

P.S  I was about to promise that I would write more often but I'm not too sure that will happen but here's what I can say, I may do a birthday blog because today the 23rd of November is officially 23 days to my birthday, YASSSS! So I'll be doing something special, pray for me oh. Lol.
