11 Bible Verses For The Overwhelmed Perfectionist
Dao Tua Nanh

If you're a perfectionist, chances are, you get overwhelmed a lot. I'm the girl that says yes to pretty much everything, and I try my hardest to do it all. But that's not where it stops, I want to do it all and I want to do it all perfectly. So, if you're anything like me, and you're an overwhelmed perfectionist, you need to check out these bible verses.

1. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through he who gives me strength"

2. Peter 5:7

"Cast all anxiety on him because he cares for you"

3. Romans 5:8

"I loved you at your darkest"

4. Galatians 1:10

"Am I trying to win the approval of men, or God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ"

5. Matthew 11:28-30

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light"

6. Philippians 4:6-7

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus"

7. Isaiah 23:3-4

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal"

8. Psalm 18:32

“It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect”

9. Hebrews 10:14

"Because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy”

10. 1 Peter 3:3-4

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight”

11. Colossians 1:28

“We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ”

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
