WHY IS GOD NOT ENOUGH? This thought haunts my head. It feels like a trick question. I know He is everything. Why is He not everything we need?
Why do we need? Why did God design us so we need things other than Him? There's that song that says "You are more than enough," but how that be when we depend on people, we couldn't live without water or food and babies can't survive without touch. (This is true. We need touch, it stimulates our skin... but I'll stop because this is not a science lesson..or is it??)
Why do we need? Is it just to humble us as a reminder that we can't do it alone?
How do we honor God by eating? Is it simply a way for people to come together? Why do we need people? Is it just to encourage each other in pursuing God? Why do we need to refuel our bodies? Is this an example of how we need to daily put God in our minds and hearts to function? WHY? Why do we need sleep? Is this God's way of telling us we can't do it on our own? Is this the point? Then why is God not the only thing we need? Or is He?
During sleep when our body goes through all the rem cycles, our brain is still actually processing things. Is that the only time when we are truly silent and God can instill His truth in us?
Maybe He is everything we need, but He is so much bigger we don't understand He's in everything. 
Maybe it is like this picture where once again I'm looking through a telescope(I actually took this through a telescope), so I can only see part of the trunk of a giant beautiful tree. No matter where I look, I'll only see part of the tree and not ever get the whole comprehend the whole thing because my view is so limited. Maybe God will slowly make my view bigger and I will be able to grasp these concepts..Right now I'm trying to find the significance of the portion of the tree I can see.
