Good Enough

We are created for interdependence. So all our hiding and pretending that we are “perfectly fine” all on our own just won’t work. Get on the donkey when you need to and let people lay down their cloaks for you and make some noise for you. ‘Cause you know you’ll do it for them too when the chips are down.

Guilt, shame, and fear of being seen as a failure can leave us wallowing in the pig pen. Our delusions of a perfectible life keep us disappointed in ourselves. Truth is, life is a big ole risk every single day and facing whatever each day holds is not only good enough, but worthy of love and grace.

Lying fallow and getting fertilized with laughter and tears at the nasty stuff of life can help heal what ails us and that is sometimes productive enough.

What if we could let go of needing all things and all people to be "just so" and instead learn to dance with the unfolding of that which is not ours to control?

What are the temptations that catch your ear, singing out promises that your life should be more special than it is? What if ordinary life is already holy–as is?
