The review of this Mom book I shared on amazon and goodreads....
Have you fallen prey to the perfection infection? Do you
need the antidote to this ugly disease?
I encourage you to seek the cure for the mom comparison game. It not only shares real stories of imperfect
moments, but helped me see “our imperfect lives are counter balanced with a
perfect God.” It leads me to be honest
about my emotions. To seek the One true
source of perfection who challenges me to see myself through His eyes, and recognize
that the Bible is my guide. “You were
taught to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful
desires… and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true
righteousness and holiness” Ephesians 4:22-24.
It helps me remember: God’s love and grace is the source of
strength for becoming who He designed me to be. It challenged me to embrace
humility, confidence and grace rather than pride, insecurity and judgment and
to recognize that when I seek to be the ‘perfect mom’: I am comparing my insides
to other people’s outsides or to media that is airbrushed to perfection. It encourages me to share authentically with
others that life is imperfect. But it’s okay to embrace the imperfect as the
character building life God has given me and pushes me to LOVE it!
As a believer, I love that Jill’s wisdom was authentic and
biblically based. She gave practical advice and you feel like she’s having a
cup of tea, chatting with you as you read her thoughts and you wonder, how does
she know me so well? A great book for
women to rethink life and love every moment of it!
