When I was a little girl, I wanted a baby. I would pounce at the chance to hold a baby and appreciated those brave mothers would trust me to do so. When I was 11, I started babysitting. I loved all kids, but especially the tiniest babies. Even when I was in high school, I still had a doll that I would pretend was my baby. I wanted more than anything to have my own baby. Finally I got married and had my chance. Six years later, still no babies. We adopted babies, and they are truly my own in every sense of the word. I just regret that I didn't get to hold them when they were at my favorite age: newborn. So still, there's always been this longing.
Fast forward to this morning. I'm in church singing this song about how God's love is more than enough for me. When I reallly started thinking about what I was singing ("More than all I want, more than all I need, you are more than enough for me."), it hit me. God loves me, and that is more than enough. What else do I really need?

You are very precious and yes, like you, I'm very thankful that He is enough.
