More than enough

This morning was pretty rough. What is it about Sunday mornings that bring out the carnal in us? Seriously- we are on our way to CHURCH!
My oldest was being completely disobedient and arguing about EVERYTHING. My youngest was testing the waters and my middlest was pulling the good ole 'I have my head in the clouds' routine.
We made it to church on time, without daddy because he is sick, but not happily. I bawled them out the whole way there. Okay- MOST of the way there. I wanted to wring their necks I tell ya! I considered threatening them with bodily harm, but realized it was futile as I am not trained in the arts of CIA torture procedures, nor could I really carry them out on my sons. And then I walked into the worship service and was reminded that...

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You are my supply
My breath of life
And still more awesome than I know
You are my reward
worth living for
And still more awesome than I know

All of You is more than enough for all of me
For every thirst and every need
You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice
Of greatest price
And still more awesome than I know
You’re the coming King
You are everything
And still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough for me
By Chris Tomlin

I raised my hands and the tears welled. He is enough for me, enough for my weakness, enough for my mommy exhaustion, enough for my heartache, enough for my impatience. And He will give enough to be the momma He wants me to be. Praise God for the reminders given when we need them.
Our day has gone much better, as I laid down my anger, my frustrations and my pride before the one who is more than enough. Are you allowing Him to be more than enough for you, too?
Before I sign off I want to ask for your prayers. Not for me, but for my hairstylist. She was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. Her brain surgery was this past week. Penny will be going through Chemo and radiation. She knows the Lord, and Loves Him dearly. I know she will walk this path set before her trusting in Him. Please lift her and her family in your prayers.

It's amazing to sit and listen sometimes to get a new perspective. I'm glad your day turned around :)
