Brokenness

Have you ever been so upset, or disappointed, or heartbroken to the point where you just wanna cry. And then you do, and all the while you are asking God why this happened to you. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. That's right, he is near when our heart feels like it's been ripped out  of our chest, or when we simply can't finds the strength to go on he is right there to put his loving arms around us and let us know that he's got it all under control and with him we are safe. He is our safety net in times of trouble. In the midst of our brokenness he picks up the pieces of our heart and makes them new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us that we are made new in Christ, and the old has gone away. In our brokenness we are made new. Sisters, rest in the truth that Psalm 34:18 provides, let it rest in your heart.  Then Zephaniah 3:17, tells us that God is with us every step of the way and that he takes great delight in each and every one of us. Even when we feel like there's no hope at all, there is hope in the promises that God gives us. He wants us to trust him in the midst of the brokenness and remember that he can make us whole again, rest in that truth as you go throughout your weekend. Maybe you are feeling broken, remember that you aren't alone in your brokenness because God is right there with you sister!  He is with you in whatever you may be going through, rest in Psalm 34:18 my dear sisters. Be encouraged that he is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"

Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord your God is with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing"

She is also one of my blogging friends, I have enjoyed working with her this month and am excited to continue in the future, she is a sweet girl with a big heart for others and Jesus! Today She is sharing her heart on this months theme: Beauty in the Brokenness. So be sure to check out her blog at the links below! If you've ever heard a group of people share their testimonies, a lot of them have a common thread: brokenness. A lot of now believers had to come to a very low point in their lives before they had their breaking moment of calling out to Jesus. Have you ever wondered why that is? Why is it that so many of us have to hit rock bottom before we'll realize our infinite need for a Savior? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that in my darkest moments, I've seen the Lord hand out grace and turn brokenness into beauty. We all tend t...

Finding Comfort in the "Waiting Room"

Founders Note: Today's post is written by our new friend Brooke. Her blog is called "Living as a Single Gal". (you can find the link below) We've just discovered Brooke's blog and we look forward to unwrapping more of the great wisdom she has to share. Without further ado, here is her post... Imagine, if you will, that you are in a waiting room. The room is crowded; people standing, people on chairs, people sitting on the floor; this room is totally packed full. And all of these people are waiting. Waiting for what you may ask? That’s simple; love. You are standing in a corner with some of your girlfriends having some laughs. Then one of them gets called out of the room. Then another. Then another; another one bites the dust. One by one all of your single girlfriends are leaving the waiting room and finding true love. Not only are your friends leaving you, but the rest room seems to empty out significantly. And then there’s you. --...

Hellooo Beautiful

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have our dear friend Katrina. She sent us her post via email and we instantly responded that we were definitely going to use it! Today she is sharing her heart on this months theme beauty, so we hope you are encouraged by her post as much as we were!  So be sure to check out her designs and blog, cause she's awesome!  "You look beautiful!" Cue the eye roll, an excuse or a denial, and if you're lucky, there's a quiet "thank you" slipped in there to keep from being rude. Sound familiar? I've had too many of these encounters, and have even found myself delivering the eye roll to a well-meaning friend.  Why is it so hard to take a compliment like this? " Tell Me I'm Pretty " I find it interesting how Satan will turn the most beautiful things ( I'm talking about  you  here, by the way ) into a twisted, backwards appearance of the truth in our minds?  We no longer see the ...
