Sufficient: The Reprise!

Trish had asked me last Sunday at the end of choir practice if I would do special music this week; I was much obliged to do so, but wound up having fairly bad luck nailing down a song that just felt right. I know that sounds a little silly, but I have this thing when it comes to singing - I try my best only to present songs that actually speak to me in some capacity that I could convey. There are plenty of beautifully-heartfelt songs composed over the course of music's existence in the library of options, but for some reason, no matter which way I went in my search, I just didn't have any reaction.

Until yesterday.

Yesterday, I sat through the womens' breakfast at church, and will take the opportunity now to reiterate just how deeply I was moved by Ms. Shirley's testimony. Her courage, positivity, and encouraging words reached a part of me that I wasn't prepared to exercise, and after much thinking on it last night, I realized that the first song I sang here at Towerview was the one I would sing, again, today. My apologies again, for the repeat, but the voice of those little words stayed in the front of my mind all day yesterday and into this morning as I did a mental re-confirmation that this was a good idea.

The song, Sufficient, originally recorded by the current wife of Jeremy Camp, speaks these words: 
adie camp

When I am weak, your strength is complete; it's perfect, completely all I need. Sufficient for me, your grace and your peace, are perfect, completely all I need.
Thank you again, Shirley, for your testimony. You are truly inspiring.

Today marks the start of a new week. I have high hopes it'll be a good one!
