]]> Comment on Perfect Potatoes by Dixie Webster https://rachmcmahon.com/perfect-potatoes/#comment-344 Tue, 25 Feb 2025 16:34:35 +0000 https://rachmcmahon.com/?p=8803#comment-344 This shows amazing insight. So much of what we struggle with – perfectionism, the need for acceptance, the need to control our circumstances – is really based in fear. I think until we understand that truth, it is difficult to face it because we frame it as something good (perfectionism – high standards; control – I take charge of my life; acceptance – I value relationship. The only way to defeat fear is to face it head on. I always start by asking myself what is underneath the problem? What am I afraid of? When I can address it as fear I tend to handle it differently. I find it especially helpful when you have the God of the universe by your side and you can remember that. There is nothing he hasn’t already overcome. John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

When we handle things with the understanding that God is firmly in control of the bigger picture, the end result should be peace. I use that as my standard for how right I am getting it.

Thank you for making me feel less alone in this. I never know if what I’m sharing will touch anyone or if I’m just getting stuff off my chest.

This post is such a vivid way to describe the balance we’re all trying to find and the moments we lose when we over correct. I’m an 5 so I never say what I really want to! And the way you described being in worship after so long? It made me remember moments like that. Thank you for putting this into words.]]> Things don’t always look the way we expect them to. Perfectly said🤌. This post is such a vivid way to describe the balance we’re all trying to find and the moments we lose when we over correct. I’m an 5 so I never say what I really want to!

I’ve just never been able to articulate it in my mind and with my words, which you so beautifully have done here.
