Speaker and Author
Kristi Woods
Do you ever feel the need to be perfect?
Ever feel “not enough”?
It resembles a pair of sweat-laden jeans on a sweltering, summer day, doesn’t it?
Icky.
Perfection, rejection — both standing as enemies of the spirit.
Those battles rage. I’ve fought them. Maybe you have, too?
This space in the blogosphere? It’s for fighters — for Monday through Sunday worshipers. It’s a place where we toss perfection overboard, sailing instead in the strength and with the guidance of our Daddy. It’s a place where we’re real, acknowledging that we simply can’t do it alone.
A place where we walk deeper with God.

Expect This~
These blog posts are just for us:
1st & 3rd Tuesdays ~ We deposit God’s Word deep into our hearts with #WORD18, a scripture memorization program. Have you always wanted to learn verses by heart? Jump in anytime. This is for you!
All Other Tuesdays ~ New, weekly blog posts face and overcome the raw of real-life. This is where we hit rejection, perfection, discouragement, fear, and other life curveballs out of the park while scoring love, faith, and courage.
Bonus Days, look for book reviews – some on Tuesdays and others on Thursdays. They’re hit and miss, depending on what’s available and reads that look good for us. 😉 Look for a handful +/- each year.

The Backstage Scene~
I was a mail order bride. Sort of. My retired Navy man, Tony, and I met in a letter over twenty years ago. We became Desert Storm pen pals in 1991 when my letter to “Any Service Person” was mailed into his life and, consequently, he sailed into mine. (Read more of our story here.)
I love a man in uniform and mine knows how to be oh-so-patient with me. The two mix much better than oil and water. We are living proof.
Hubby and I overflow with three blessings, better known as Joel, Rebekah, and Caleb. They are often found standing outside the bathroom door, vying for attention and conversation. It’s proof that they are perfectly normal kids! All three teens continue to amaze me daily with the gifts and abilities God has placed in them… and that they continue to hang around the bathroom door.
Dishes have been washed and laundry thrown over a chair in Honolulu, Tampa, Atlanta, Virginia Beach, Jacksonville, and rural, northeastern North Carolina. These dots on the map became home for our Navy family. Today, we wash dishes and face the mounting mound of laundry in Oklahoma. (How does it multiply?!) The Sooner State writes the beginning paragraph of our recent, new chapter called military retirement. Oklahoma is home.
And God? He stands at the helm. He’s taken me from the tangles of depression, the dream nightmare of perfection, the nuance of pride, the cloak of rejection, and more. He’s a healer. Have you been healed? Join me in this fight?
