   Hello! You dialed my number and I guess we need to chat. Ouch. Thank you for this podcast. Trying to be like everyone at the same time is impossible. When will the real me stand up or sit down or just plain shut up. Haha. It’s good to not take ourselves too seriously. Love the podcasts!

   Amazing podcast! I have been struggling with this big time! I get so bored with my 15 month old and I feel so guilty and I fill it in with social media. I just don’t know what to do in this time of my life to serve God with my little one.

   This was a most excellent discussion. I very much appreciated Amy’s honesty in discussing a topic that many mom’s struggle with but don’t often speak of. Thanks for reminding us that we need to rest in God’s love rather than work for it.

   I loved this podcast. I totally related to this discussion, particularly the part about the hard shell around our hearts. I had not realized it was there until God broke through it at a retreat I attended a few months ago. I was also pierced with the statement about feeling like people are obstacles in the way of accomplishing our tasks. I didn’t realize it, but this is totally me! Thanks again for this podcast and pointing us in the direction of some great resources.

   What a struggle fighting perfection; thanks for your encouragement.

   I was touched and encouraged by your visit with Heather/Ann that I ordered the book the same day. It is totally my challenge.

     JR, you’re the winner of the Mom Package from my blog. I promise it isn’t even because you ordered my book, but that makes me happy too. I picked a number in my head before I came to Heather’s site, and you’re IT! Would you email your mailing address to me at amy@proverbs31.org, and I’ll pop your package into the mail. Congratulations!

   Thank you for the podcast. I can relate to the breaking of the shell around the heart to feel God’s love. My husband and I were serving in this controlled ministry. At the beginning we didn’t know it, but my eyes started to open to things that weren’t God’s Word. I felt like I was not doing good enough no matter how hard I tried. The teaching was striving and striving to do more. I thought that family and other things doesn’t matter to God only serving God in the ministry that matter. I cried to God for for a long time to open the door for my husband to get a full time job because at the ministry we didn’t get paid. We were getting more and more in debt. The Lord revealed to me that that was not His heart to be in debt and that the job was coming and to trust Him. Praise God that He opened a door for a full time job for my husband and we had relocated. I understood now that I do not have to strive to earn His love and acceptance. Jesus did it all for us. His grace is sufficient for us. His love is unconditional.

    this podcast was meant for me! with 3 kids & having been in the struggle to try to be perfect my entire life, i would feel like such a failure when my kids acted like kids instead of being “perfect” in my eyes. God has revealed so much to me about leaning into Him & resting in His grace, not only for my kids, but also for me!

    What a measure of freedom. There was just a weight lifted listening and being reminded of truth. I can quit striving and simply trust in him and allow him to work in me!! Thank you!

    This discussion described me. I was reminded of a scripture bracelet I have with the verse Ps 46:10 engraved “Be still and know that I am God”.

    I thoroughly enjoyed and so NEEDED to hear this podcast. I recently ordered Amy’s book breaking up with perfect bc God has convicted my heart to work this out in my life. I am experiencing burn out with a career I love and I know it’s bc I keep trying to do it in my own strength. He will help me realize He loves me messes and all!

    Really needed this today. We’ll need it every day!

    The different kinds of perfectionists and their lists. I’ve felt both lists from good girl to not good enough. Mostly the not good enough list. I leave the 8th of Nov. to go to CA and put into practice everything I learned last week. I just don’t know where I’m going to start when I get there. Relying on the Holy Spirit to guide me. I was told the wrong concept of what I was supposed to be that I always said I was a perfectionist in a flub body. That’s a terrible thing to say to myself. No wonder my self esteem is down. Need prayer on this. Thanks.

    Great topic & something I have been struggling to work on for months now!! I would have so much peace if I could gain some freedom from perfectionism! I can’t wait to read Amy’s book! The statement “people are obstacles in the way of my tasks” is definitely me & something I’m working on!

17. Jaelen October 28, 2015 at 19:05

    Yes, I too needed to hear this podcast. Thank you for sharing it with us! Just recently the Holy Spirit gently spoke to me that the reason I am so angry with my kids is because I’m a perfectionist. I definitely don’t want to pass this on to my daughter who I think may be starting to show some signs. Help! I need to trade in the perfectionistic attitude with “it is good enough” and “I’m happy you’re doing your best”. I’m learning to “let go and let God” do His perfecting work in me. I also want to release a spirit of pride and know that in humility God will take care of everything. It’s His work in me for His glory!

    Perfection is something we think we want but do not need! Thank you for the reminder!
