He is Enough


I can't quite describe how blessed we are, or how we even find ourselves in the position we are in...5 years ago we moved to Dalhart. We moved in obedience, we weren't ready to leave all of our creature comforts and church family. Most of all our life group whom we so enjoyed and looked forward to growing with. We found ourselves in a small town, so alone & just a short distance from all those things we so loved. It was a hard place we found ourselves in. And slowly we began taking baby steps-which meant we stopped being upset at God for sending us here and just took the time to see Why Dalhart?! This was a slow moving process...lots of little seeds planted and so many wonderful connections have been made along the way.
We quit complaining, well mostly, we found a church, we were renewed, we had a baby, we had a kindergartener...then a pre-k kid, 1st grader and 3rd grader. Time has just flown by. In the mean time we began a life group in our home, we just said let's be willing and we were. We had such a great example, and are so thankful for the time we got to spend in the Jeter's group. We have had heart ache, we have juggled many things, we have learned, we have evolved, we aren't who we once were when we crossed the city limits of our small town. Some of those were our experiences and others were those of the families we are thankful to be able to serve beside. 
And today we can breathe a sigh of relief because God planted us here and all he asked was that we be willing.  I've had Him ask me time and time again 'Am I enough', it's a difficult question to answer...and this morning as our congregation surrounded us to anoint us and cover us in prayer for our journey to our girl- I could shout Yes!! You are enough and your plans are greater! You had something better for us! And all we had to do was say yes and walk in obedience. That doesn't come without consequences but the benefits far outweigh any burden we find ourselves in. 
Matthew 18:20 reads, where two or more are gathered I am there...the application says that the sincere agreement of two people is more powerful than the superficial agreement of thousands...and I've heard their hearts cry out on our behalf. It's a priceless gift and a body I'm so thankful to be a part of! 
There are lots of emotions at the Bryant home tonight as we tuck our babes in bed...but we know with certainty He asked us to go. And we are comforted by the many prayers being said on our behalf. His ways are better...

'...immeasurably more than we ask or imagine...' Ephesians 3:20 

He's enough.
