is it enough?

i sometimes get overwhelmed.
and wonder if i am doing enough.
i think about it a lot, actually.

this year i have been put in charge of sixty-eight people.
sixty-eight beautiful, impressionable girls.
have i done enough to show them how much they are loved?
have i done enough to show each and every one of them how much He loves them?
will any one of them leave not knowing that they are treasured beyond measure?

right now i am feeling the burden of this responsibility.
i am feeling the weight that my position carries, and i am feeling very inadequate.
and very overwhelmed.

i have a sort of 'savior complex.'
i feel as though each and every one of my girls need me to rescue them.
every time they're hurting.
or stressed.
or frustrated.

and that mindset is utterly exhausting.

it's then I remember something.
He has not called me to be superwoman.
He has not called me to be a savior.

He has only called me to be faithful.

i am only responsible to love Him with all my heart.
to show His love with everyone i come in contact with.
and to be selfless.

i can rest in that.
and know that when i am not enough.

He is.
