Such a good post from Andrea at FlourishingMother:
"If you expect perfection or nothing... you will always end up with nothing" --Edith Schaeffer
What happens when you start expecting perfection in every area of your life, is that things don't get done. If you strive for perfection, or do nothing, you get nothing...As part of becoming a "Recovering Idealist", this quote from Edith Schaeffer is key. It is easier for God to do His work in spite of circumstances, not in perfect circumstances. This is where He gets the glory. Not when we plan every detail, but when we make room for Him, despite our failures.
