Bishop Jakes’ speaks simply, “You Are Enough” those words feel as the freshest water to a very parched soul. In a world when being enough seems like it isn’t enough, in a world where we are constantly fighting to feel like we are enough. I would like to imagine maybe the world stood still as Sarah Jakes Roberts hears these words from God’s heart to her father’s lips carried right to her heart filling her up where she is never lacking.

The win showcased what it meant to continue to do what you love. The win showcased what it means to take up space, be in that space, never apologize ever! The win reminded a black girl, a black woman to keep believing. The win sparked joy in the hearts of a few of us, it sparked the joy in the hearts of the little girls within. It was a breath of fresh air in a world where it is often so difficult to breath and see joy.

Don’t let others make you feel you are behind or need to hurry to hit these life goals based on society’s standards. Choose not to subscribe to the gloom and doom of the world. Find you some peace and pockets of grace and joy. When given the option to shrink, shy away from what you were purposed to do in this life, DON’T! Take a time out, get some water, catch your breath and try it again.
