Society today, and sometimes even people within the church itself, expect us to be perfect. We are expected to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way. Society wants us to be beautiful models and the church would like us to be "perfect" mormons who can sew, bake, clean, raise children, look wonderful, attend the temple, teach children and recite scriptures all in a days work!!!!! But what if you don't fit into either of these catogories!! Does that simply mean you don't fit??!!! I don't think so!!!! As much as I would love to be beautiful, and be able to sew and quote scriptures left right and centre its never going to happen. Simply because I am not perfect and that just is not the way my heavenly father made me.
Those people who know me will testify that I am clumsy, I love cake way too much to ever be skinny, I chill out in my house in my trackies, I have the worst memory ever so can never remember scriptures correctly, I love superheroes and comic books and to be totally honest am a complete geek... but I am ok with that and so is my heavenly father. Why you ask?? because thats the way he made me!!!!!!!!!
Yes, sometimes I would love to look like the models I see on magazine covers but then I think would I really want to get up two hours early to make myself look like that. No I would not, I love my bed and my sleep way too much.
Our heavenly father doesn't expect us to be perfect, he didn't make us that way. He simply wants us to do our best to become more like him. In my opinion becoming more christ like shouldn't involve looking like a beauty queen or having the perfect home it should involve drawing our hearts closer to him and filling them with charity and love.
I am not perfect, I am a geek and I have the glasses to prove it!!! (check out the pic) but my heavenly father is ok with that and so am I. So take me as you find me :)
