You Are Enough

It is April, which means that the end of this school year is within reach. It also means that the busiest time of year is here and in full force. Spring sports have begun, classes are demanding, and the FFA banquet season is upon us. If any of you are like me, I have the tendency to feel a bit overwhelmed during this crazy but wonderful month. Before I go any further, I want to just tell you that you are enough.

Now, let me explain. A few times this spring I have felt as though I haven’t been enough. I’m not studying enough for my classes, I am not devoting enough of myself to my faith, I haven’t been a good enough friend, I haven’t fulfilled my responsibility in that club, the list goes on. The thing is, life is busy and sometimes we may feel like we are drowning in it and that is okay. The way I see it, is that If we feel we aren’t giving, doing, or being enough, that just means we care, and caring is GOOD. Earlier this week, a friend reminded me that as long as my heart is still in it, then I am enough.

Simply put, if you are feeling as though you aren’t enough or you don’t have anything else to give, please remember that you are enough. The people around you want to see you succeed. You have others who are looking up to you and who believe in you. As long as your heart is still in all your actions and words, then you, my friend, are going to make it through. I know this month’s blog was short, but sometimes the most important lessons to learn are short and simple. For me this month, it was learning that I am enough.  So please, please know that YOU are ENOUGH.

Forever Blue,
