All of You is More than Enough

You are more than enough Oct 21 2007 9:20 PM a battlecry.com post

sooo...the flesh part of me says "why type it out? no one is ever gonna read it."
I don't care. It's not about who reads it or what they think- do you know why, Satan? It's not about me. It's not about people thinking I am "so cool or so spiritual" because I've had such amazing revelations from God. It's about GOD and the revelations. Me? Who am I? I'm nothing. Nothing on my own. With God, I'm someone new...I'm To Live is Christ....and that, not any name, not Carleigh, is who I want to be.
Okay, so now for what God has been doing in my life. Well, I guess his theme to me these past few weeks has been this: that Christ, God, is more than enough for me. If all things were stripped from me and all taken away, would God still be enough? Is he really my all in all? He talked to me a few nights ago like he used to talk to me when I was younger. I just listened and he spoke and we had a best friend kind of conversation. Thanks, Pops. So awesome. It's been so overwhelming actually, in the most amazing way.
In the words of a song by Pocket Full of Rocks: "I'm finally losing me." I am, God. "For self I cannot live, life is less than worthless until my all I give." You've turned me around...I have truly been "transformed by the renewing of my mind." TRANSFORMED!! I'm new. I feel like I should have a new name because I'm so different than that old Carleigh girl. And SO much of it, all of it really, comes from my prayer closet. My daily devotions....my daily quiet time when it's just me and you for an hour. Where it's just your Word, just your voice, just your message, and it's all about you. I want my life to really be like a devotional time. That every breath, every word, every move, every thought is YOU. Because like you've shown me...what have I got to do with it anyway other than being that instrument that makes music unto the Lord? My purpose is to be a disciple and disciple others- after first following those first 2 greatest commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbor as yourself.
YOU God. Love YOU. Adore you and praise you and stalk you and be obsessed with you and Overall- be completely surrendered to you- living a CONSISTENT life of You...of loving you and thus follwoing you and all the amazing mircales that follow us once we "seek first the kingdom of God." all these things relaly will be added into us!! And God, these past two weeks are only the beginning!!!
okay- so if this is gonna be like my journal entry, so be it. Lord willing. no. okay, God. those will be me and you things.
well- i guess that's all God wants me to write for now. I want it- the passion and joy and fulfillment and hope and vision and freedom that comes with a life of Total Surrender and a life Completely about God and not an ounce about the me. No selfish-ambition...To Live is Christ...he'll take care of the me and all else there is to take care of.
SO GOOD! you are SO GOOD, Lord. Thanks for the awesome women's retreat and the IJM concert tonight and dance and youth group...even that short time. Thank you thank you thank you. I LOVE you, God....it's so crazy. You are awesome. More than anyone....more than anything.

God, you are more than enough. Amen
