Not Good Enough? Me?

Some days, and I am sure everyone has these days, I think, "I'm not good enough to do this."

Some days, and some circumstances, can lead people to feel...
"I am not good enough to be a friend because these 3 people told me so."
"I am not good enough to be a teacher because I got a low mark on one of my supervisor visit ratings." (didn't happen yesterday, but I'm just saying...)
"I am not good enough to chase my dreams because I don't have the strength."
"I am just not good enough."

I have been developing a friendship with the 5th grade teacher at my school. Her name is Nicky. I had a long conversation with her this morning as I was coming in to school. She offered me these phenomenal words of advice which I need to put on a big poster and hang in my room.

She said this:
"God does not call the equipped; He equips those whom He calls."

Isn't that true?!

With that confidence and attitude in mind, we know there is no such thing as
"Not good enough."
"Not smart enough."
"Not perfect."
"Hopeless."
"Can't learn."

Because God equips those whom we call.

Every experience we endure, we later see His hand in it- and His hand is there to equip us. Not to harm us.

Equipping. You are good enough. You are strong enough. You are loved. Especially in God's eyes.

And that's why and how He equips you for what lies ahead.  I don't know what that is- I imagine different paths for each one of my many readers.

But whatever it is, don't you dare for a second believe you are not good enough or not equipped.

Leave it to God. Do your best and give Him the rest. Take care of the possible and trust God with the impossible.

Sorry for my lack of comments on other's blogs... I'll be reading and getting back to you..... Soon...
