Ironically, my last name is "Hartman," my faith-based band is called "Hartman" and we just wrote a song called "Do You See Me" for a faith-based film called "Pendulum Swings." Here's a link to the video... http://youtu.be/RsU7YU8u43Q and the blog about the song... http://jshartman.blogspot.com/2011/02/do-you-see-me-behind-song.htmlJeff Hartmanhttp://jshartman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-44935843145661065712011-02-23T11:31:39.085-06:002011-02-23T11:31:39.085-06:00I think you hit the nail on the head.

I can't believe I have been a Christian so long and can't manage to trust more.roamingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798304569822903068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-20308717195137022232011-02-18T21:56:16.210-06:002011-02-18T21:56:16.210-06:00You're ahead of me on the self-sufficiency/sel...You're ahead of me on the self-sufficiency/self-trust issue. I only recently discovered how bad I am (and boy am I). I have been seriously convicted in my recent Bible reading with how little I allow myself to truly trust in God.<br /><br />For my own part, I am not very good at knowing where "enough" is, and I overcompensate to make sure I don't fail on my side. I wonder if part of the work that God does in perfectionists is help us eventually ask a better question than if we do enough. We don't do enough and we never will because we aren't perfect. We can only become perfect through His perfection rather than through surviving the gauntlet mistake-free. In fact, I don't think God will allow us perfectionists to do things mistake-free because that would encourage us to not trust in Him.shakedusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380500891984359879noreply@blogger.com
