if it were not for the breaking, the hard seasons, I don't think I would have experienced the tangible grace of God like I did.
-
Maybe I would have another way but I think there is power in embracing the way in which God chooses to reveal himself to us. It doesn't have to be focused on the WAY but the focus really being that he has REVEALED himself to us and there is power in embracing that even when it is painful.

It reminds me of the wildfire that happened through Bastrop in 2011 covering over 32,000 acres.
There is a spot with the most breath taking view, that view would not be possible if not for the fire. A view once blocked by the trees that will take 100 years for full growth again.
-
God has brought such clear vision out of those ashes.
-
have you ever thought about that?
To go down that path to thank God and give him praise for the floods and fires in our lives.
It’s not the falling that defines you. It’s what you do with all the broken pieces that remain.
When it feels like the world has stripped you bare. Has left you shaking and shivering in the dark of your life. Can you let go of your attachments, the story you needed all those things in the first place, the story you only matter with the labels, and those outside affirmations? Can you be strong and sure of yourself underneath it all? Can you believe you’re enough?
Every breaking is a chance to be remade. What will you do with all those beautiful pieces of yourself waiting for their next story?

I always get myself into this mess
I always let him tell me
I am beautiful
and half believe it.
I always jump thinking
he will catch me at the fall.
I am hopelessly a lover
and a dreamer
and that will be the death of me.
