It has been 7 years since I have visited this site or written here. Writing has always been my sanctuary. My safe place. Writing could very well be one of the loves of my life .
When I think about something that is broken, I put it in a few categories. How many pieces? Can it be repaired? What will it take to repair the damage? Or should it be discarded?
If I apply that to being broken. I have to ask myself a few questions. How did I get into a broken state? Can I be ok? What can I do to help myself? Or should I separate myself for a while from the thing that hurt me?
I have been in a broken state throughout my lifetime. There were times I thought I wasn’t going to get through any of it. I’m thankful for great family members and friends who have helped me. I have always found comfort in prayer and reading scripture.
All those things have helped me heal from a broken state, but my children have given me such a source of strength and inspiration each day.
It’s something about watching them try and persevere through each challenge presented before them that helps me put things in prospective.
They have rough days, but even in those rough moments,they will smile and push through.
You can find healing from brokenness in the very surroundings you see daily. Find your strength within yourself because it’s there. The more you let go and see the beauty within yourself, the stronger you will become. Don’t give up on YOU. YOU are one of the strongest glues to repair the brokenness you endure.
Be brave, be strong, be kind, be loving, forgive often and smile at every moment you can. You can make it. Be you, on purpose because you have a purpose.
