Im enough.

I have been looking at this screen for awhile now wondering where to start. God has blessed me with a passion to reach out to young girls, and I have been given so many opportunities to do that. I still stand back sometimes and say wow God look at all the things you have blessed me with! But a situation happened last night that breaks my heart, the not so fun part of this passion God has given me. I got a text message that changed my view on a lot of things going on in my life right now. I started to think about being a young girl in middle school or high school right now and all the world being against me because I am a Christian, or not having a family support me with my walk with God. I can't even imagine because I always had a loving, Godly family to support me but there are so many kids out there that don't. My heart has been breaking for those kids, for what they face every single day. To be honest I get really scared at times and the devil feeds my mind with I can't do it. I have trouble with thinking I have to be the savior for as many people as I can. I often feel spread out to thin, or I bring myself down trying to save someone else. The great thing about our Father is that our works don't make him love us. After talking to a few people today I saw that only God can do somethings that I often try to do for people. I can't be a savior nor do I want to try. I want to do things for his kingdom, but I don't want it to get to the point that Im thinking Im not enough, or I stop doing it out of love. I think because of the world's standards sometimes we think as Christians we aren't enough till we have done it all, at least I catch myself thinking that. Its an everyday struggle for me to know he'll use me how he wants if I give myself completely to him and I don't have to worry about anything else. Sorry if this is just me rambling its just what was heavy on my heart today.
Proverbs 2:1–10 says:
My (daughter), if you will receive my words
         And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom,
         Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment,
         Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver
         And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD
         And discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
         From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
         He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.
