Why is it, and I do believe this is universal, that a work you have put many hours into, when it comes to the revealing of it, provokes nothing but a sense of failure and feelings of inadequacy? Surely this is a remnant of unredeemed humanity and the realization that no matter how good we thing we have done, we have fallen short of the mark. What mark? The mark of God.
You see, while I have faith in this program, and have been told it is good, I feel it could be so much better, because ... well, I'm not God. Perfection is all I will settle for out of myself. In others, I will praise mediocrity if they have put their all into it. In myself, it has to be perfection or I'm down on me in a big way, heavy, and ugly.
So this blog entry is to say that yes my formation program is good, and it is flawed, and it is not perfect. Neither is it inadequate, or mediocre. Nor is it written by God. Therefore I accept this program as it is, and over time will revise it.
There, now I feel better.
