My life has seen a fair share of bumps and brusies. There are some days that I feel like that the facade will give way and reveal all of my cracks and weak places. But what if I let down my guard? What if I show the messy side of me and allow my scars show that I’m stronger than what has fought against me? What if I tell the world that I’m perfect in my imperfections?
Revealing the not-so-pretty parts of yourself can be scary. It can an anxiety-inducing experience, but it can also be liberating! Just think about all of the energy you spend trying to BE perfect. You can’t BE anything else but who you are. Sure you can paint yourself up, change your hairstyle, diet and exercise like a fiend, but when it comes down to it, you’re still YOU.
And. That’s. Okay!
My sweet friend Katy, over at Handmade Escapade, posted a teaser image for new shirts a day before The Imperfect Vessel launched. Call it fate or call it divine intervention; I took it as confirmation that the new direction I was heading in was the RIGHT direction.
I immediately commented on her post remarking that this new creation couldn’t have come at a better time. And she replied that she actually thought of me while hitting “publish”.
I’m excited to share with you probably my favorite of all of her designs (and I have bought roughly a dozen of her handmade items)!

I like the name and tagline of your blog. I also love the colors and the design. Glad to find you through Womahood with Purpose linkup.
Laura, thank you so much for stopping by and making the connection. I also appreciate your sweet words about the blog. It’s taken a lot of hard work over the last few months and I’m so happy to know that it was well worth the effort! Have a blessed weekend!
Oh Bree, I love this. Perfectly Imperfect. Or I’m perfect. How wonderful that God sees me as perfect. And maybe because of my imperfections. I always think “in spite of” but “because” gives it a whole new meaning. I certainly want to reach my full potential in Christ. Thank you for encouraging me today.
Blessings, Pamela
Oh Pam, thank you for stopping by! I am so blessed by your comment and love how you have changed your perspective from “in spite of” to “because” – that is powerful! You ARE loved because of your imperfections. Bask in the amazing love of God and know that no matter how many flaws you may find in yourself, God thinks they are beautiful! Be blessed!
Yes! We are perfect in all our imperfections for we are clothed with His glory! We are the workmanship of His hands and He looks at us and sees women of great worth. Of such great worth, He only made one each of us. You are beautiful and look just like Him!
Jeannie, your comment gave me goosebumps…in a good way! Hands down, that is the best compliment I have EVER received. If I could only hug you! Thank you for your impossibly moving words. You are gem!
