Enough. {One Little Word 2019}

What is your One Little Word?

To be honest, this year was a really tough one for me. The first of the year came and went and I had yet to choose my word. Nothing just quite fit. Perhaps that was due to the state of my mental health, or I just wasn't ready to choose yet, but after much thought and prayer, my word finally came to me.

Enough.

• He is. Despite everything that life seems to be throwing our way, God is enough to get us through. He is bigger than anything that could possibly come our way, I simply need to remember that and try to hand it over to Him more.
• I am. Despite my anxieties showing me every area that I have failed--- these things we so often tell ourselves, 'not a good enough mom, no strong enough, not pretty enough, not thin enough, not smart enough, not brave enough, not enough'... I need that constant reminder that perfection is impossible, and I am enough. 
• This is. Sometimes I have a bad habit of feeling like I need to do it all. I think this is probably a pretty common feeling for us as women. This leads me to taking on too much and stretching myself too thin. I have to remind myself that enough is enough. I have to let some things go, I have to pick and choose what matters most, I have to stop striving to do it all and remember that whatever I can do is more than enough. Even on the days when mental health has me knocked down and getting out of bed is as much as I can do that day...it's enough.
