I love your post. I just need to make one correction: The name of the church is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! You left out the most important part. Thanks!
Ooo this hits close to home (in a good way). Perhaps it’s because I also (over-ambitiously) take on projects in the house and yard and then am quick to frustration or impatience when the process is slower or more difficult than I expect. I focus on that awkward tree or weird piece of trim and think “when I just do this, then I’ll be happy”. But it’s helpful to remember just how much joy and fulfillment the process actually brings me. And a helpful challenge to love my home, my neighbor, myself, in the midst of and because of our unfinished-ness.

Thanks for the heads-up! Just fixed it :)
