Welcome friend,
Do you ever feel small or insignificant?
If so, have you ever noticed how God loves to use small things?
Like a shepherd boy to defeat a giant (King David)? Or someone who was terrified of public speaking to represent a nation to a ruler (Moses)? Or a despised Tax collector to write a book of the Bible to be read by millions (Matthew)?
Or how about a Primary school teacher from NSW, Australia to record in Nashville and perform on stages across the globe?
While I love to write songs and sing them at home (I can relate to Moses discomfort above) God, it seems, has bigger dreams for me, than I have for myself.
And I’ve thought a lot about why.
We live in a time when we are bombarded with the message that we are worthy, we are special and we are enough.
We’re told to ‘look within’ and find what we need there… but here’s the thing… we all know deep down that we are not perfect. There remains the nagging feeling that we need something more. That we need to BE something more, DO something more, HAVE something more. That really… we are not enough.
I write songs to remind you to look up. To remember the God who says you don’t need to be enough. Because He has already been enough FOR us. To remind you that God delights in ‘small things’. Not a distance force, but a person. Who walks beside you, goes before you, and guards behind you. Who loved you enough to take those nagging imperfections and pin them to his own record… in order to wipe your record clean.
I write songs about my family, my children, my husband. About pointing them to the kindness and beauty of Jesus. I write about friends and people we’ve met along the way… about their journeys, their struggles and their growth. About how God takes the hard things in our lives, the broken things, the ‘not enough things’ and makes them all into something beautiful… and through them all shows us more clearly who He is.
I hope as you listen you are encouraged that God takes us in all our weakness, loves us patiently… with a higher and deeper and wider love than the self-love we could ever possibly offer ourselves.
Friend, He is enough.
