GO.I wonder how I can describe it.
This change.
This transformation in my soul.
The twists and turns of life have found me wanting and lacking and yet reaping and flourishing.
The discovery leaves me breathless in the unexpected ways at which I have grown in this process, in this terribly painful and stripping journey.
Finding broken pieces put together into a wholeness that is seemingly impossible speaks loudly of His grace, His mercy, His favor.
I have grown.
I am still yet growing
into this woman that He has called & intended for me to be.
"He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it," resounds in my mind, my heart, my spirit.
To find joy in the midst of the questions, peace in the center of uncertainty, grace in the heart of sorrow.....
I discover His heart.
STOP.

This is my favorite bit, "Finding broken pieces put together into a wholeness that is seemingly impossible speaks loudly of His grace, His mercy, His favor."
Oh so true and beautiful, Lindsey!
Isn't it wonderful to be in this growing state. This was beautiful.
For some reason when I read this I thought of a stained glass window, or a tile mosaic. I pictured all of those broken pieces that you feel are shattered and worthless, but God makes a work of art from it. I've missed your words, Lindsey! :)
Always learning; always growing. You have worded it so lovely. I am a new follower and look forward to reading more. Hugs & Blessings
