Finish is far too much like saying goodbye. Maybe that is why I struggle to finish things. I tell people I’m the idea person. I have all sorts of great ideas. I have started some amazing projects. Finished, not so much. Part of the problem is that I am never satisfied with the product. Which is why Five Minute Friday is so liberating. I have to finish. I have to let it go. It is a blessing.

Yes. I get it! It is the one blog post I do, most weeks, even if I do no others.
Blessings to you.

Yes! It's a great gift to ourselves to let things be incomplete, and imperfect. I totally agree finishing is very much like a 'goodbye' or even a 'bereavement'. There's no adding to it or changing it… and as creative people we sometimes feel a compulsion to keep 'fiddling' or 'improving' it… letting go and putting the pen/brushes/needles down is the hardest part. It's true – and astonishing – that God loves us, as we are, imperfect as we are. Perfect acceptance.
short, sweet, and laden with truth.
this is why I love FMF.
and it's so good to meet you this week, Kelli! i hope we'll get to rub shoulders again sometime soon …
