The chapter that impacted me the most was the one one perfectionism. I have known that I have this character quality all my life and I have worked hard to put people before perfection but I often still find myself struggling it and not even realizing I'm doing it. Here is an excerpt from Debbie's chapter addressing perfectionism.
It takes a conscious effort to step back and look at what we are asking for. Does it leave room for people, including ourselves, to do what they do best?

Do you give yourself grace when you mess up? Do you give your child grace when they don’t do as well as you think they should have? Are we leaving room for God to work?
