We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Isaiah 64:8 I'm an imperfect, cracked pot. So are you. Despite my constant reassurances of the grace I've received, I find myself compared and comparing to others who are just as imperfect. This is some insight into my real life. Not the one I sometimes try to have people perceive of me.

The beginning...
I am far from perfect, and as much as I think everyone realizes that about themselves, we continuously compare ourselves to each other and create standards that we cannot live up to, nor should we be living up to. With the world of facebook and blogs at our fingertips, we no longer compare ourselves to airbrushed celebrities, we are now comparing ourselves to photoshopped versions of each other, which I think is worse. As much as I hate blogs where people share some of their most intimate thoughts yet somehow assist in a perfect appearance, I kept thinking about starting one of my own, but to do the opposite. To present pieces of the real me. Real life as a cracked pot. Quite imperfect and not afraid to share my imperfect thoughts through imperfect days with an imperfect family. So feel free to compare yourself to me, only I hope through this comparison you'll realize that there are other people who are just as imperfect as you.
