Earlier this week I had a terrible argument with someone that I love tremendously. A simple action dredged up old memories of not feeling (being?) wanted, and of being displaced, and the emotional floodgates were opened up. Gosh, whenever I feel like I might be totally done with those hurts from the past, something happens to remind me that I’m still broken. Just like a piece of china that gets smashed to pieces and put back together with glue, I can be healed, but those cracks will still be there.
I don’t always have to be chained, though. No way will I let the past hold me back from living in the glory of the present. And so, the work continues.

Isn't freedom through Christ a a wonderful thing? I have no idea what I'd do if I had to live this life on my own. I'd be a hot mess!

Be encouraged and know that you can be made whole. Jesus turned water into wine which means He changed the molecular structure of a thing. He can remove the cracks in your china. Be encouraged and hold your faith along the way.

I will do, Janeane. You are right, He can make anything whole, so my best bet is just to lean on Him.
