Enough

Posted On November 26, 2017

Is this moment enough?
Is this life enough?
Am I enough?
 
These questions fill my mind as I ponder in my deer blind
As I breathe in the solitude of dawn’s November woods.
 
Why can’t it be?
Enough.
 
Why can’t I let it be?
Enough.
 
Why do I look for more?
How much is enough?
 
This moment is a gift.
This air I breathe is unearned.
These snowflakes cascading down from heaven are a blessing.
 
A cool breeze tickles my skin
My heart beats within my chest
I am alive!
 
And everything I have,
everything I’ve been given
is more than enough.
 
Here and now
In this moment
I have everything I need.
 
And it is
Enough.

Following the Breadcrumbs God Leaves Along Our Path

What if God is speaking through ordinary moments more often than we realize?

A conversation that stays with us. A door that closes. A quiet nudge we can’t quite explain. An unexpected invitation that seems to come at just the right time.

The challenge is learning to notice these moments before we have any idea where they’re leading, and trusting the next step.

Over time, we may begin to see that God’s guidance doesn’t always come as an answer. Sometimes, it comes as a trail.

What to Do When God Seems Silent

Has silence ever made you feel like God is far away? When we feel this way, it’s easy to start looking for answers or waiting for a clear sign. But prayer can also be as simple as slowing down and noticing what’s already here. The breeze. The waves. Your breath. The quiet. God’s presence doesn’t always come through words. Sometimes we just need to be still enough to notice.

Let God Alone Define You

Ever have someone’s words get stuck in your head?
Maybe they criticized you, misunderstood you, or told a story about you that doesn’t feel true. And before long, you’re holding a courtroom in your mind—defending yourself, replaying the conversation, wondering if maybe they’re right.

There’s another way.

Bring it into the quiet with God.

Ask: Is there something here I need to learn? Is there something I need to own? And what was never mine to carry in the first place?

We can stay humble enough to receive the truth without letting someone else’s opinion become our identity.

Because in the end, God alone defines you.
