I’ve received a lot of messages about “More Than Enough.” Every one of them has identified with the feeling of not doing enough, not being enough. But this is the message I can’t get off my mind: 

From Janel: 

“In the last 2 weeks, I was made aware that it is getting closer to my life’s end. I am planning my own funeral now.” 

I wish I had some profound words of comfort for Janel. She didn’t give a lot of details, but she gave enough for me to know she’s way too young to die. I can’t imagine what she and her family must be going through. 

And that's why I'm asking you to pray for her. Find out more...

I've only ever collaborated on a couple of songs. But I wrote "More Than Enough" with my daughter, Rebecca, and I loved every minute of it. (Including our 5 hour phone conversation late one night. From 10:00 pm to 3:00 am. Yikes!) 

Rebecca isn't the only family member who had something to do with this song. My own mother is also part of the story. This is a song influenced by three generations of women who all had occasion to feel the same way...that they weren't doing enough. 

Read more about the story here, along with why I chose the specific lyrics I did, and why I didn't use the word, "Mother" in the song...
