Beauty in the Broken
hope. health. humour. & mom life.
The song "Awakening" by Amanda Lindsey Cook has haunted me...in a good way...since the first time I heard it. It was released back in March of 2019. I first discovered the song when scrolling through my social media feed one day. I immediately added it to my Apple Music Library #onRepeat . A few months later, I attended a Hillsong United concert in Toronto, where she just so happened to be one of the opening acts. If I could use only one word to describe the song and entire "House on a Hill" album for that matter, I would say, PROFOUND. If you're going though or have ever been through, a dark season in your life, I think you'll find find the lyrics speak to you in profound ways. I wish I could post them but copyright laws prohibit that, so please...Take a Listen!

I have this quote posted beside my bathroom mirror to help me have a healthy perspective. It’s to remind myself, that while I may feel like a mess, to God, I am a beautiful mess, I am His masterpiece, He created me, just the way that I am and for that reason, I am enough.

This morning was one of those mornings. In fact this week was one of those weeks. Heck it's been a month and a lifetime if I really think about it. That's not to say that I don't see the good in each day...most days... and the blessings in disguise cause I absolutely do. I have much to be grateful for... even if it's just the lessons I have learned through the difficulties I have faced. Looking back and being grateful for what God has done in my life gives me HOPE for the future but lately I feel like I have begun to lose sight of that HOPE and forgotten to praise and worship Him when I don't feel like it. I am continually amazed at how God speaks directly into the inner workings of my heart, through pretty much anything, and ties things together to say exactly what I need to hear at just the right moment, even though I haven't necessarily even voiced my particular struggles to anyone at the time. That is the beauty of relationship with a the Living God. So yesterday was Sunday and the message at my home church was all about Faith, Hope and Love and how they work TOGETHER. Most people have heard that Love is the greatest of the three and but I have never really realized the significance of losing HOPE and how it can actually threaten the loss of both Faith and Love. In Fact, may be the is the very reason why our HOPE seems to be under such attack! If you lose HOPE in God for working on your behalf, you lose the TRUTH that God Loves you. |
