Enough

Sometimes I feel like I don’t have enough

Enough time, energy, capacity

Enough know-how, where-with-all

Enough courage, back-bone, bite

Enough preparation, discipline, consistency, follow-through

And somewhere in my struggle with not-enough

I begin to feel like I am not enough

Despite all that’s been accomplished and all the good within

My unchecked boxes, unspoken words, missed marks, unachieved goals

Insecurities and fears

Others’ expressions and comments

All seem to join forces to reinforce the feelings of

Not Enough

And yet I hear You call me still

Breaking through all the noise

Beckoning me to lift up my head and heart

Knowing

That in You, because of You, with You, through You

I am enough and have enough

To do everything You’ve created me to do

To mother

To teach

To lead

To support

To transform

To love

To encourage

To heal

To create

To be
