Make Enough Of Me To Go Around
Do you ever feel like there's too much to do and not enough of you?
This is definitely a theme in my life. It doesn't help that my hubby has 4 back to back business trips in a row and we're only half way through. The good news is I'm heading to Southern California this afternoon to speak to hundreds of amazing women at a Deseret Book Time Out For Women weekend! I'll be offering up a few thoughts on developing your authentic self, but ironically, I'll be the one who comes away benefiting the most from spending time in the presence of so many good women and having my own "time out".
While I'm sad to be leaving my family today, after several night of my 5 yr old coming into my bed and kicking me in the head I'm looking forward to uninterrupted sleep. I need my sleep...and the sunshine...and some time with other women who know what it's like to feel "overwhelmed and underpaid" sometimes.

MAKE ENOUGH OF ME
Written by Julie de AzevedoOverwhelmed and underpaidMorning comes too soonRunning late and on my plateA million things to doGot a baby cryin'Another trying to find the other shoeWhen I open my eyesThe dam will breakTheir need will flood my roomYou made wine from waterAnd raised up Jairus' daughter from her bedFrom her bedFilled the empty fishing netsAnd with some loaves and fishes fedA hungry crowdA hungry crowdMake enough of me to go aroundMy mother's sickAnd I'm late to pick up kids at schoolI need to cleanCan't fit in my jeansThe fridge gives no comfort foodYou made wine from waterRaised up Jairus' daughter from her bedFrom the deadFilled the empty fishing netsAnd with some loaves and fishesFed a hungry crowdI hunger nowMake enough of me to go aroundMultiply and magnifyThis tiny little life of mineEnlarge meAnd expand this heartAnd fill it with divineMy heart is coldNothing growsBut thistles and some thornsThey choke the lightAnd shrink the vineI need to be rebornYou made wine from waterAnd told a scarlet daughterSin no moreSin no moreSurrendered to the gardenThrough thorns and nails you pardonedThe angry crowdThe angry crowdMake enough of me to go aroundMake enough of me to go around© 2005 Julie de Azevedo (BMI)What do you do to replenish your energy and your sense of self when it seems there's not enough of you to go around?
