Delightful Inadequacy

So I could start this post with a snarky comment about how I should have blogged more (ahem at all) last week but I think you guys deserve better.

Truthfully, I just didn't feel like I've had anything to say. My mind has been a blank abyss of nothingness (too redundant?) and I don't want to write just to write.

I want my words to mean something.

Sometimes I get caught in this trap of the "should do's". I should blog. I should organize. I should share the gospel. I should be more intentional. I should, I should, I should.

And that quickly spins into guilt and shame.

While none of those things are bad, in fact they're all very good things.

But they spur on that little voice in my head that says "You're not good enough. Work harder"

I lose sight of grace.

I lose sight of freedom.

I lose sight of the cross.

But then a kind voice reminds me "You aren't good enough. You'll never be. But I am. But I AM"

But he said to me,  

My grace is sufficent for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness"
