 so I read this one aloud to the kids & the Farmer at the table:

What people ask for right at the end — one last time

You have to read this — because it’s ridiculously beautiful — and not what you think

teachers, folks. yeah, not ever getting over what teachers do

okay, family, we got this one down

“I fall on my knees…and I fight like a warrior…”

confession: this has been on repeat here all week long

…be kind to yourself

…hey, look: no matter what’s happening or what’s coming up — the bottom line is God’s got you — so fear can’t get you.

And He looks you right in the eye & whispers:

You have enough of Me & courage to do this hard thing.

You have enough of Me & strength to not give up.

You have enough of Me & love to keep on giving.

You have enough of Me & peace to know that you are carried.

You have enough of Me to simply rest.

You have enough of Me — and I am enough.

You are enough — because the great I AM is in you… 

and with you… and for you.”

And that alone is 

completely enough.
