Enough

This is what I have been looking at everyday for the past few months.



First: A good home must be made, not bought...





I pulled this out of a magazine in June when we were a little depressed at the way things were going for our house-buying situation. In my mind, I pictured that a cute little curly-headed girl was wildly painting her room a vivacious shade of blush (or bashful) while her mother stood back and captured the scene with a snapshot. For a while this summer, I stopped making really doing much that incorporated our apartment: inviting people over, chatting with the neighbors, etc. I just so badly wanted to be away from here. All the while, I wasn't recognizing that no matter where we live, our home will always be where we make it. If we're an "09-er" or in a homeless shelter, "home" must be made not bought.


Second: "Are you here to use God to get a bigger god? Or are you here to enjoy God because He is enough!" - Marc Driscoll




This spoke to me when I found myself praying every day for a house. Somewhere along the way I just realized that praying for the house was not the answer, but praying for peace with whatever was God's plan was. The idea of a house had become more important than simply waiting for the plan he had created for us. No matter what the circumstance, He is enough. No matter where you live, or where you work, or who is next to you, He is enough. He is!

Tomorrow we are going to our new home. Thank you Lord for giving us a roof over our head and a place to call "home" for the past year. You are enough.
