Day 2847: Surge of Envy

2 Replies

Nobody’s perfect and that’s okay– that’s what I’m realizing.

 

It’s 10 : 23 AM on day 2847 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse and do some work

 

 

This morning as I sat waiting for someone to help me out of the bathroom I thought to myself some people are on the other end of the world and I struggle to get from my bedroom to the bathroom and back I try my hardest every day not to be envious and to instead me grateful but sometimes even despite the fact that I love my life and love helping people I can feel the envy coursing through me and I can hear myself think when is it going to be my turn to go places and do things? I wish I could rid myself of envy  completely but I’ve accepted I’m an imperfect human who will periodically feel envious and that’s okay as long as it doesn’t consume me and make me blind to my blessings (of which I have many).

 

Day 2561: Accepting my Eternal State of Imperfection

To expect perfection from oneself is an exercise in futility– that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 1: 07  PM on day 2561 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray,  have breakfast, read  Ephesians 2:8  and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – Yesterday Liesel and Anonymous made donations (thanks so much to them) which brings the total raised to $3 481 only $9 019 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

 

Yesterday somebody asked me why I didn’t go to church and I lied  saying I overslept (I know it was wrong and I still feel guilty about it)  meanwhile I was up working on my 50 New Feet campaign for MiracleFeet but I didn’t want to say that because even though it was true it would have sounded like I was trying to make myself look like a saint and besides most people’s eyes just glaze over when I start talking about my work I don’t think they understand truly why I work so hard on things that I don’t get paid for.
