Broken, But Not In The Same Place

Image result for crayons broken in different placesSome of us are more broken than others. Some of us are broken and unaware that we are broken. We are broken but maybe not in the same place. If you have children then you know some crayons are broken right in half as soon as the crayons leave the box. Just like some of us, we may have been broken as soon as we left the box (the womb). Some of us had to endure being broken as children. Having to hear we will never become..., or feeling unwanted, etc. You get the point. Some of us were broken in the middle stages or late stages in life. Those are the crayons that children just like to break the pointy part off and you see the longest part with the little crayons that you can barely distinguish what it is laying around. But nevertheless we are all broken.

Today, I learned a valuable lesson that no matter where we are broken, we are still broken. We should not judge the broken on their brokenness or on where they are broken. Because my brokenness is not where yours is doesn't make your brokenness anymore insignificant than mine or vice versa. We should talk about God doesn't care where the brokenness is he can heal and use it all. We do not know the place of their brokenness. But my past brokenness may help someone with their present brokenness. Your present brokenness may help me with a brokenness that is yet to come.   Some days I feel like I'm broken everywhere but I know my potter can put me back together again.

What would happen if all the broken came together with no judgement?

I have three girls so I strive to put in them that they are beautiful, that God loves them and that they can do anything with the help of God. Because as broken crayons and we that have children we know the struggles of being broken and we don't want our children to experience what we have been through so we try to produce strong crayons, unbreakable, able to withstand the sharpest tools.

There is beauty in all of our brokenness. Use you brokenness to help others, if you have children there's a start.

Start Coloring!

Dark to Light

Oh my! this thing has been on my brain for two days. I already had another post but it is still sitting in draft. I have been waking up 30 minutes before my alarm every morning (the struggle). When I wake up 30 minutes early it is still dark outside. I thought that I had at least three plus hours to sleep and when I look  ...umm, no. So I used the time wisely and began to pray and I was so amazed  how God can turn the midnight into day in a matter of seconds. I have been praying to God about a lot of things and I began to hear a soft voice say that's how fast I do miracles. While you and I are still praying for something God has already turned our midnight into day. Color the world!

Struggles

I have been in the oven. It seem as though this last week has been rough on me. When one thing goes wrong it seems as though everything goes wrong. BUT I REFUSE to give up.   But I know that I'm going in the right direction because the devil wouldn't be in my household so much. My uncle pastor always said if the devil is not attacking you then you need to worry; because if he isn't attacking you he already has you. I have thought about giving up on this blog because I just feel like the more I try to influence people to experience God the more I'm attacked in my marriage, my body, my mind, my finances, and in my family. I feel like what is the use. We crucified and rejected Jesus, how do I stand a chance? But, God said if you just touch one then it was worth it.    My oldest daughter was going to an innovation camp and she was getting tired of waking up early (I was too) and she wanted to quit going. It was almost the end of the week and I texted her quitters n
