Is it wrong?

Do you have it all together?

Some people look at me and think that I do, but I so don't. Not even close.

I have a great marriage, three amazing kids, and I like being organized and on time.

But what gets me through each day is the grace of God. Seriously, folks!

Do I want to look like I have it all together? Well, yeah. Who doesn't?

Is that wrong?

I don't pretend to be something I'm not, and if you're around me long enough you will hear about my mistakes and flaws. But I don't want to be known as a complainer. Therefore, I refuse to talk all about the bad and none about the good in my life.

I had a discussion with my husband last night about the difference between confidence and pride. I have believed some lies of the enemy concerning that fine line, and I'm asking the Lord to clarify it for me.

I look at people around me who take great care of themselves, who seem to be confident, though not arrogant in any way. But when I think of treating myself that way or portraying myself that way to others, I fear that people will think I am prideful.

I am believing God to give me a spirit of excellence and to make me aware of the areas that I am not glorifying Him in my actions and my physical appearance.

(Scary thing to pray, I know. This could take a while.)

What have you asked the Lord to show you lately?
