Sustenance and Sufficiency

A former student of mine asked me on Instagram if I had a blog about food.  I used to.  Last entry: four years ago.  Seriously?

Four moves, two kids, and lots of life changes later–why not give it another go?  I’m in the midst of a monthly meal planning adventure (still trying to cut down that grocery bill) and trying to uncover God’s plan for my health and wellness (it’s different for everyone) in this season of life.

I think one thing that has kept me from certain public aspects of this journey is the perpetual question of sufficiency.

Am I enough?

A question that seems to plague all moms, women, really, all people.

Though I really do believe my sufficiency is grace (2 Corinthians 12:9), it doesn’t keep doubts from creeping in.

Even in to the issue of sustenance (food).

If I share my recipes and meal plans…

…will they be enough?

…healthy enough?

…fun enough?

…detailed enough?

Just being honest.

All these fears–of not being enough–have kept me from offering what I have.

Not cool.

So here I am, with my two coins (Mark 12:41-43).

If you don’t mind me asking, what are you holding back from the world because it might not be enough?
