Am I Going to be Enough?

“We now have this light shining in our hearts,

but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars

containing this great treasure.

This makes it clear that our great power is from God,

not from ourselves.”

2 Corinthians 4:7

Am I going to be enough?

If you’ve ever felt insecure, you’re not alone. This question seems to hound volunteers, especially during the first year with T.R.A.C. and T.R.A.C.life.

Read a portion of this life update from a 22-year-old camp counselor and mentor from Northshore, Louisiana:

“Am I going to be enough?” At camp, I kept questioning, “Can I really do this?”

God has opened the doors (for me to teach) and so far, we have made it almost to the end of our first semester and God took my fear and made me confident when I step in front of my students.

The reason why I’m saying all this is because my first year serving at T.R.A.C, I never felt worthy to serve these children nor did I feel like I’d do good enough, but y’all pushed me out of my comfort zone, and by y’all’s support and with God, I made it through.

Today I’ve had a moment to take a step back to reflect on everything that has happened since graduation. One of the things that . . . helped me be confident and to be able to serve these young men and women the best that I can was camp.

God is constantly working on the kids that we get to serve at camp. But the blessing to us is unreal . . .

Can you relate? I know I can. Sometimes, I still feel like an imposter.

But God’s word reminds me in 2 Corinthians 4:7: “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.”

We will never be enough on our own.

But God will always be enough.

His power shines best through humble servants who understand only God can truly bring transformation.

What a privilege to carry His light within us . . . despite being fragile clay jars.
