Oh, Amen to that Johanna!! Yes, yes, yes perfectionism IS the enemy of done.
Unfortunately, my dh has enough of this problem too so that he doesn't
FINISH many things because he's aiming for perfection. I find I won't even
start something unless I think I can accomplish it "perfectly"...how silly,
but how real the struggle is. With six kids, I've mellowed alot and God has
shown me much about letting go and resting in Him, but there are times when
I can almost physically feel my neck straining as I push forward in my own
strength determined to accomplish whatever it is. I get so exhausted when I
do that!`Lisa
