Do you feel guilty that you\u2019re not doing more? Keeping your house up to snuff? Taking care of yourself and others? If guilt seems to follow you around wherever you go, then this episode is for you!

Kathi is talking with author and Bible teacher Barb Roose about her struggles with perfectionism and performance, and how that affects both her closet and her faith in God.\xa0

Here are Barb\u2019s 3 rules for a better closet:

1. Don\u2019t wear it if it makes you sad.
2. If it doesn\u2019t fit your current body or style, get rid of it.
3. Don\u2019t let fear or shame make you keep clothing that doesn\u2019t fit your current size.

Barb says that our closets are full of memories, and our relationship with God is the same way. How can we move on from experiences in our past that bring up feelings of guilt today? Barb has been on a spiritual journey: moving from a place where guilt robbed her of feeling like she could connect with God, to a place of freedom and understanding of how big God\u2019s love is.

Her life has been changed by focusing more on the promises of God, and less on her performance for Him. Her favorite prayer in a time of need? \u201cSave me O God.\u201d That 4 word prayer is a whole prayer. Barb reminds us of God\u2019s promise from Isaiah 43: \u201cWhen you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown.\u201d\xa0

So take a deep breath, remember God\u2019s promises to you, and then do the next right thing.
