More Than Enough
Have you ever found yourself tearing up while singing a song?
Lately I find myself doing this at church. Twice, to be exact in the last month. Wanted to share with you one of the songs - maybe some of you feel similarly, maybe some of you may be encouraged by it.
ENOUGH
(Written by Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio)
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

I cry because I realize that in my flesh, I am still seeking to satisfy my desire to have a child.
I cry because I realize I may not have a child and therefore, I have “nothing”.
I cry because I am reminded that God is whom all I need and that He is whom all I should want.
It’s tough and God continues to work in my heart. That’s why perhaps the song speaks to me.
…..
But meanwhile, I count my blessings.
I am thankful for being alive, for having all my senses and my body is complete. I am thankful for having lived a full life and seen a lot in this world. I am thankful for family and friends who have colored my life. But most of all, I am thankful for having God who loves me, who is faithful to me even if I am not and who is more than enough.
Happy thanksgiving!

This is one of my favorites too. It seems like there is such a fine line in trusting wholly in God and seeking treatments. I mean there is a part of me that feels that if God is sovereign maybe it is sinful to seek treatment. On the other hand I figure that if God is sovereign and he doesn’t mean for me to have kiddos then he won’t allow the treatments to work.
What I know for sure is that He is a loving God and the Bible tells us to ask for the desire of our hearts. So, I just keep asking and I hope at some point waht I hope for will happen.
hmmm, I don’t know the song, but I do know that it is difficult to believe that we are not ‘nothing’ if we lack a particular something.
I may somtimes moan and groan about the fact that I am deaf, but if I wasn’t deaf then I am sure that I would not be the person that I am today.
Hey Sam, I agree with you that ‘we are not “nothing”‘, that is why I wrote ‘I HAVE “nothing”‘.
In retrospect, I meant to say “I feel I have nothing”. Although in reality, I have lots of things, it’s still a feeling that needs to be worked out.
Some moments, I feel I really have “nothing” without a child. Most of the time though, I’m pretty good.
I too, cry at songs. I cry at commercials, movies, even just walking down the street when i see a family.
I have so sorry that you do not have a child and you are missing out on the life that you dream of. But I’m happy that you are able to find small things to be thankful for. And the love of God to hang onto in times where you wonder if it will ever work out.
There are certainly songs that send me into tears, especially this time of year. In spite of IF we do have so much to still be thankful for.

Music is wonderful for stirring the soul - and for causing tears.
A wise person once said that music, second only to prayer, puts us as close as possible to God.
I’d have to say that I come close to crying (voice cracks, start to choke up) at almost half of the songs I try to sing. Luckily, usually no one is listening when I have to stop the song halfway.
I’m not sure when it started, but it definitely wasn’t always like this. I feel like it might have started before IF, though — finally, something that I can’t blame on IF!
