Jesus is Enough

It's obvious I am busy by the lack of writing I get accomplished here. Daily, I feel the presence of my precious savior as I run errands, tackle projects, clean house, care for my family, spend time with loved ones and take care of the menagerie of animals that live with us. I am blessed-truly blessed. I have so much to be thankful for, and knowing that it has all been given to me by our amazing God, makes it all the more precious to me.
I have a bounty of friends, that lift me up, make me laugh, keep me on the right path, care for my heart and enrich my life each day. Each friend has a different way of interacting with me, that helps me to continue to become the woman God created me to be. What an amazing treasure, and gift from my Father!
Even though I struggle with severe pain each day, I know that He walks beside me and gives me the strength I need to complete my day's tasks. Do I enjoy being in pain twenty-four hours a day? No, but I know that God let this disease happen to me for a reason, and that's a good enough reason to continue to deal with it and be the best I can be. There are so many more people that suffer far worse than I. That knowledge makes me even more grateful that this is all I do have to deal with daily. He will not give you more than you can handle-such an amazing statement. Sometimes, I feel like He's given me too much and I feel sorry for myself. In those times, I let myself wallow for a short time, then pick myself back up and continue on this glorious road that He has placed me on. I can usually see much growth in my walk and my relationships when I keep my eyes upon Him.
Jesus is enough. Three small words that mean everything to me. I cannot imagine one day of waking without knowing He is there and ready to be my instructor, my guardian, my Father, my friend, my disciplinarian, my heart.
"In every thing give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." 1 Thessalonians 5:18
I will give thanks, daily-to an ever-faithful, loving, perfect God.
