I Am Not Enough

Every day that I live in this wonderful place, one thing stands out in my mind...

I AM RIDICULOUSLY INADEQUATE FOR THIS ROLE!!!!!

One thing is certain, if anything positive happens in this house, it is 100%, bonafide, tried and true from God.  I can make a house pretty.  I can make a house feel homey.  I'm even okay at  ensuring people feel welcome here.  What I can't do is heal the hurts of the lovely young women who share this home with me.  I would give anything to be able to do that.

I have spent enough time on this planet to realize, however, that Jesus is enough to heal any hurt.  He is enough to sooth any sorrow.  He is enough...

So every morning I sit here on my little red loveseat in my tiny living room with my cup of coffee listening to the high school band practice, and I take each one of these ladies to my Heavenly Father.  I set them in His big comfy Dad lap and plead with Him to hold them, to make them feel safe, to let them feel loved, to pour peace over them, to fill them with joy.

That's all I can do.


There are days, when I feel
The best of me, is ready to begin.
Then there are days, when I feel
I'm letting go, and soaring on the wind;
But I've learned in laughter or in pain
How to survive.

And I get on my knees,
I get on my knees.
There I am before the Lord that changes me.
See, I don't know how but there's power
When I'm on my knees.

I can be in a crowd, or by myself
Or almost anywhere;
When I feel, there's a need to talk with God.
He is Emmanuel!
When I close my eyes, no darkness there,
There's only light.

When I get on my knees,
When I get on my kness.
There I am before the lord that changes me.
See, I don't know how but there's power
In the blue sky.
I don't know how but there's power
In the midnight.
I don't know how but there's power
When I'm on my knees.

I get on my knees.
I get on my knees.
There I am before the Lord that changes me.
I don't know how but there's power.
I don't know how but God gives me power.
I don't know how but there's power,
When I'm on my knees.
