“God is big enough.”

After living for more than a year with daily trauma I was met with a sudden tragedy in October 2014. The exhaustion from trauma took a toll as I lost fifteen pounds in one week. I leaned into the love of friends and family to survive, I scrambled to Scripture every five minutes, and I pleaded with Jesus to carry me through. After countless sermons, podcasts, prayers, and songs, God spoke to me through a podcast by Francis Chan. Four words were clear: “Live as one loved.” From that moment, it became my life slogan. Living as one loved changed me—every part of me. It healed me.

“God is not worried.” It helps me to remember that God is not surprised by what is happening, and God isn’t caught off-guard.

“It’s been a good ride.” I’ve said, whatever happens from here on out, it’s been a good ride. It all started because someone told me about Jesus.

My life slogan is, “Enough.” We live in a world that is constantly trying to tell us that we’re not enough, but God, in his infinite mercy and grace, calls us enough. He says, “My grace is sufficient for you, and my power is made perfect in weakness.” On my own, I will never be enough, but God’s grace is enough. This is a blessed relief and a far better truth to live by.

“You can’t learn any younger!” —my dad. “Don’t judge a person till you’ve walked a mile in their shoes” —also my dad, but I think it’s a Native American proverb. “Life with Jesus isn’t a vacation, it’s a great adventure!” —my father-in-law. “Your real life is in Christ” —Apostle Paul.
