Broken And Unashamed 2020
Broken and Unashamed. It’s been almost two years since I first wrote those words. Two years filled with more growth than I ever thought possible. Two years filled with more trials than I thought I could bear. Two years filled with more tears than I thought I could cry, more mountains and more valleys, but above all, more grace and more faithfulness than I’ve ever deserved. I’m honestly so shocked and surprised at what God has done in my life in two years. When I first wrote those words, they were a cry against my own heart at the time. An echo in spite of what everything inside me was saying. When I wrote it, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to live, let alone live broken and unashamed. I was hurting, and everything in me wanted to give up and just let myself succumb to what everything inside me was telling me: “You’ll never get better. You’re alone. Your brokenness defines you.” But in spite of all that, God gave me the strength to say, “Yes I am broken, but I will live unashamed.”
