Some days I feel like I have something to say…but I don’t even know what it is.
Sometimes I sit down to write and there’s like this thing inside of me, this idea or thought inside of me that just wants to come out…and then it doesn’t.
Maybe that’s what they call writers-block…
Sometimes I feel like I just want to say something, anything, that will help someone else understand who they are, that will make them feel worthy or beautiful or strong…like I just want to pull someone out of the lies and boxes they live in. Because I know what it’s like, and because I still wrestle with those lies and boxes myself.
I know what it’s like to feel like a failure at being a good person. Or to feel ashamed because of your perceived imperfections and shortcomings. Or to look around at all the things that look like glitz and glamour and feel so dull and unexciting. Or to just feel so normal.
But I also know that it’s like to be free. I know what it’s like to feel confident in who I am, in who I am created to be. I know what it’s like to actually feel beautiful and fully alive. I know what it’s like to be outside of the boxes in my mind that tell me that I can’t or I’m not enough or I have to do more.
I don’t always know those things…some days I know them in my head but don’t feel them in my heart…some days I don’t even know them in my head. But that’s part of the journey…that’s part of walking with Jesus and allowing Him to speak Truth…glorious, life-giving Truth into my soul.
I guess what I have to say today, my friends, is that you, who you are in this very moment, are enough. You are beautiful enough, good enough, worthy enough, strong enough, brave enough. You are just enough. You don’t have to change or get better to be enough.
You are just enough.
What about you: do you struggle with feeling like you are enough in a specific area of your life?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Lady, I love your way with words. I couldn't even begin to sit down and write the way you do. I love your honesty and what you have to say hits home with me all the time. Keep it up. Love you Dear.
This is a very encouraging post…it's a “you got this girl!” kind of post. I think we all work on self improvement but it's vital to realize that we are enough as God made us and it's enough to be made in His image. I always struggle to find the balance between “accepting myself” and what I feel is being a good steward and faithful care taker of what He has so perfectly given me.
