Jesus is enough.
I think that’s been the overall theme of life as of late and training camp in general. I’ve had an interesting time at training camp. First of all, I kind of forgot about training camp. I had focused so much on preparing for India that I had forgotten about the 4 days that I would spend at AIM. Ooops. So when I landed in the Atlanta airport and we ended up taking MARTA to downtown Atlanta and spending the night at Safehouse (a homeless ministry) and wandering the streets of Atlanta talking to both homeless people and people dressed up as characters for Dragoncon… I was a little out of sorts. And tired and overwhelmed. It was a lot to take on in 24 hours. A lot.
But my heart and my soul keep going back to Jesus being enough. He’s enough in the midst of my attitude, my tiredness, my weariness, my brokenness, my sin, my selfishness and my pride. Not only that, but he loves me through it and is not offended by my humanity and he brings grace, life, humility, energy, freedom and joy. In his presence, I am made whole. He has already won the war. And even though life feels like war and I feel attacked at every turn, God is sovereign. He is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. And all of my days are in his hands. And I will choose to find my joy in who HE is and He is enough.
I’m clinging to this as we head out to India tomorrow.
“finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11
rejoicing,
