Enough?

That book I ordered..."Radical"?
It came in a few days ago.
I'm only on chapter 4 but God is already plowing through ideologies, sin in my heart, and misconceptions of who I think God is.
How overwhelming to serve a God who DAILY is in pursuit of your devotion...your PERSONAL devotion. And even more that He wants to use us  to further His kingdom and bring glory to His name?? He doesn't just want to use the gifted speakers..the rich and famous...the highly intellectual...the freakishly athletic...the stunning beauties...His plan involves using each of us - the average, everyday, common folk. :)
And so many of us say no to that???
I know I have been guilty of saying "No" to the God of the Universe when he wants to use me...you know, that I'm too busy, need that money for something else, have a plan I don't really want to change, etc...
Let's stop saying "yes" to ourselves, stop saying "no" to God, and fight the good fight of furthering God's Kingdom here on earth.

The question that I've heard about 3-4 times over the past few months (it seriously keeps popping up in random places) is:
"Is God enough?"
One person (don't remember who) framed it this way - paraphrased of course:
"If heaven was streets of gold, no pain, no sin, perfect relationships, all desires of the heart fulfilled, reunions with loved ones (even your pets!), and well, you get the picture...but God was not there, would you still want to go?"
And then, of course, the infamous question followed: Is God enough?

This is a question I have been working through myself...and I know these posts usually contain an overhaul amount of pictures of my babies, but this is preoccupying my mind not to share!

BTW - check out this lady's story and keep her in your prayers. An amazing woman of God, a devastating tragedy, but I am confident God is going to use this for His glory. This lady has been living her life out LOUD for Christ for years and years now. It's incredible what God has been able to do through her life because she was ready to surrender it to His purposes. She's such an inspiration.
Oh - and this stroke happened only a few days ago.
