What perfectionism isn't. What it is. What kinds of things it says. And some things that might work better for us, such as...
"Done is better than perfect."
"Just keep moving."
"We ain't building no piani." (Acceptable tolerances)

Do I fit in? Do I belong? If they really knew me, would they really love me?

12 Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today," so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.14 For we have become partners of Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end. (Heb 3:12-14 NRS)

"No one takes my life from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father." (John 10:18)

5 I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I am a pure-blooded citizen of Israel and a member of the tribe of Benjamin—a real Hebrew if there ever was one! I was a member of the Pharisees, who demand the strictest obedience to the Jewish law. 6 I was so zealous that I harshly persecuted the church. And as for righteousness, I obeyed the law without fault.
7 I once thought these things were valuable, but now after carefully weighing the facts, I see them as worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.
For Jesus’ sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as dung, as filth, as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9 and become one with him.
I no longer depend on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through trust in Christ. God’s righteousness is by faith.
10 I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11 so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!
12 I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached the goal. But I press on to firmly lay hold of that end goal for which Christ Jesus first firmly took hold of me.
13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead.
14 I press on to reach the finish line of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
(Phil 3:5-14 Tim’s translation)

In the midst of our pain, God doesn't merely send answers. He sends love in the flesh to be with us.
This chat is about embodied pain, love, and spirituality centering on the meaning of the incarnation and the cross.
