Not Easily Broken

i remember being in a place of pain, hurt, trying to figure out life. When we are teens, life is fun, we are carefree, sharing good times and some bad with our girlfriends, talking on the phone for hours about what we did the night before, and even the up and coming plans for the next weekend. We're not really focused on real life situations and circumstances, Boys! Huh! we liked them but we never let them consume us much. How many of you women can relate.

Then it seems like one day you wake up, and you have children, bills, jobs, issues!!! Even in all of that we try to stay strong because let society tell it, we as women are not to be easily broken! We are to get up, fix our hair, put on our makeup, smile and face the world like we have it all together and everything is perfect. Yeah, i remember trying to be that perfect patty, hiding everything that hurt me, covering up abusive relationships, crying myself to sleep at night wondering when, how, why........

Then i ran back to what i had been raised to do and that was to get down on my knees and pray. It was to give all of my issues, hurts, pains, to God and let him fix it. It was to truly surrender my life to God. I had always had a fear of letting anyone know that yes, i dealt with things, i had issues, i was not as strong as everybody thought i was. Yes, i cried at night, no i didn't have it all together but one thing i was not was broken! No, no matter what i went threw i made sure it would never leave me broken.....Why was i afraid of being broken.....

Then God wold show me in a very loving way that all the times i was trying to fight being easily broken, in a broken state is exactly where he wanted me. In a broken state is where he wanted to pick up the pieces to my life and put them back together again, but this time the way HE wanted the pieces to fit, not the way i wanted them too. In a broken state is where i would rely only on God and no one else to fix me. We as women feel like being a woman that is not easily Broken is being strong, But really being broken before God is when you're the strongest!

I thank God for my broken times in my life, it saved my life.......

Its okay to be Easily broken, as long as God is doing the breaking...

With Love,
