Christ Church women’s ministry was fortunate to have Pastor Brenda speak to us at one of our monthly Love Life Lunches. During the 30 minutes or so she shared her message with us, I sat there thinking she is talking to me. The quietness and hush over the room makes me think each of us felt that way.
She was brave enough to let us hear her raw vulnerability as a woman; as a mom. She too thought she was not enough. She too felt that all too familiar thought of not being enough of what we think we should be, especially to those we love and care for….not enough of being that loving encouraging mom or wife or friend … of not being enough as a Christian women to be what WE think God wants us to be.
Yet she lifted us up with a trumpeting reminder that we ARE enough because Christ our Lord told us we were so many years ago in the gentle, quietness of our loving mother’s womb – just as He did for our children. What a precious gift He is to us all!
She woke me up with the message that although I may not be enough for this world, it does not matter because I am more than enough because of Christ. I belong to Him and that is always more than enough!
I encourage you to ask Pastor Brenda to speak at one of your events. Her insight and wisdom from walking through the messiness of life as a youth pastor, mom, wife, author, speaker, trainer will leave a victorious and real impact with you!
