ENOUGH.
I knew almost immediately this was the word for me, that this is the lesson my soul needs to learn this year. We participate with our church in picking a word each year to help you focus on one thing instead of blowing the 10 other resolutions that never make it past January.
God can give you all you need. He will give you more than enough. You will have everything you need for yourselves. And you will have enough left over to give when there is a need. 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NLV)
I have found this scripture to help me focus on the one thing I want God to do in
me; help me see that I am enough and that He is enough for me!
I am a stay at home mom to 3 boys under 3 years old and haven't quite figured out how to clone myself. I just don't ever feel like I'm enough for them, my husband or anyone else. Have you ever felt like that? I have a feeling a lot of other moms feel this way too! Here is the problem, we forget to check in with God and receive that fuel. And we give and we give and then we run out!! It's seems so simple but why do I continually feel like I can't get it together! I want to be able to battle all those insecure thoughts that pop in my head. Even the silly ones like, "I was home all day yet my house looks like a tornado came through.. I can never clean up enough".
It's going to take work and it's going to take me working on time management. Because I know I need to fill myself with God in the morning, or else I will not feel like I'm enough for my family. So the goal is to be up at 6 and spend 45 minutes praying, journaling, reading and prepping breakfast. If my husband can wake up at 4:30am to do these things, I think I can make it out of bed at 6. And it has to be the morning because I'm way too tired to do it at night!
So here's to a new year and me focusing on ENOUGH.
God,Thank you that your grace is more than enough for me and I believe you can give me everything I need. Amen.
