Broken to Beautiful: An Intro

Hi.  I'm back.  It's been a long time.  I stopped writing and went missing before I even got a chance to get this blogging thing going good.  Let's see... Spring Break happened then Easter and our boys' birthdays and all of our Summer fun times.  A lot of good blogging material I'm thinking. :)



Spring Break.  It was cold!  Brrr...

I'll be honest.  After my last post back in March, I knew what I wanted to write about next.  I knew God was leading me to write a piece of my story.  A piece that is hard for me to share and I froze.  Fear is the culprit.  Ugly fear.  You see I'm really a pretty private person most of the time.  I wasn't sure how much of myself I wanted to put out there into the wide open space of the internet.  How vulnerable was I willing to be?  How much of my mess was I willing to let everyone see?

But this is the thing.  God wants to use the hard parts of this journey, our struggles and pain, to encourage others.  To let others know they aren't alone and they can make it through.  I know I've been blessed and encouraged by women sharing their hearts through blog posts countless times.  And if I can do that for just one person, then the letting down of my guard and being vulnerable is worth it.  So my prayer is that God will guide every word I type and He will receive all the glory. 

Because really it's His story anyway and I'm amazed at how well He writes it.

Stayed tuned for part 1...
