...enough is enough...

Enough: Adv.: as much as necessary; Adj.: sufficient for the purpose; Noun: an adequate quantity

"You are a solid B+ writer, which is great! I gave you an 88, I am a tough grader...be proud of that! It is extremely difficult to become an A writer. You are good! You just need that edge, that little 'umph.'" 

You are good, just not good enough. 

When talking to some friends last night they told me that the only thing men want to hear is "Good job." I then began thinking about the only thing that women want to hear.  They came up with a lot of good answers:

I love you.
You are beautiful. 
May I help you? (This one was a little weird to me, but whatever)
You mean the world to me. 
I cherish you.
....

I told them that even though these are great things to say to women, in my mind, the only thing they really want to hear is: 

You are enough. 

A lot of us work so hard to be enough...

Smart enough. 
Skinny enough. 
Athletic enough. 
Intentional enough. 
Funny enough. 
Kind enough. 
Graceful enough. 
Pretty enough. 
Good enough. 

...when we need to remember that in God's eyes,  we are enough. 

Stop working so hard. Remember Jesus. Grace. Love. 

You are enough.
