I've been broken for a long time...maybe all of my life. Or, rather, I have felt broken. The last few years have been exceptionally difficult and stressful, and it has felt like there was no end in sight.
Today, though, I attended a Priscilla Shirer simulcast that looked at the story of Gideon in the Bible, and how with us, just like with Gideon, God can take our weaknesses and turn them into a platform on which He can stand and show what He can do through us and in us.
My intent wasn't even to stay. I volunteered to take a few photos of the volunteers setting up for the event, then I was going to come home, go back to bed, play on the computer...but God had other plans.
And so today, in a way I didn't even know would be available, God showed me that even though I have felt so broken in recent months, He can help me ... even me. Not only can He help me heal from this broken feeling I've had for so long, He can and will use that for His glory and His purpose.
I'll do my best to chronicle this time in my life, because I expect great and wonderful things to happen, big changes to be made, and brokenness to become whole again.
