Real Talk - Broken Pieces

Most of us feel like we need have it “all together.” While at times it’s true that we need to have composure, it’s important for us to remember that we’re all working at growing ourselves. Some of us may need to be more patient. Some more kind. Or sometimes, giving. 

Sometimes, we have to work on how we are treating another person. Other times, we may need to let God work in us and teach us how to see things that He sees within us. 

Have you ever taken a good look at a mosaic? It has many different sizes and colors of glass. They’re broken pieces that someone without an artistic eye would probably just throw away. However, a person who saw potential in broken, uneven, and stained pieces of glass, made mosaics. 

People are like these pieces. Everyone is different. Different eye color. Different skin tone. Different backgrounds. Different personalities. Even different beliefs. We can tend to look at the outward, without looking at the inward. We can unintentionally make judgements on people by how they look, talk. act, or respond to a certain situation. 


So, the next time you meet someone different, think of them as a mosaic. The sun might be shining through them, or they may be in a dark spot. They may have some pieces that are broken. But we all do. ♥️

By Faith

These 2 words have been a reoccurring theme In my life lately. Remembering how important it is to live by FAITH & not by sight is definitely more easier said than done. However, when urs done right amazing things happen!  I was recently reading Not Part of the Plan by @krstnclark + & @bethany.beal. One of the chapters focuses on the importance & results that the Bible gives to us about living by faith.  Hebrews 11 is such an encouraging chapter. It never says by feeling Noah built the ark or by feeling Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born. It focus on the fact that those people didn’t always know what the end result would be. However they did take steps of faith.  My Saturday thoughts. πŸ’­

Growth

  Last year around this time, I wrote about how 2021 had been a year of learning. I said, “2021 has been a year of learning for me. Learning to trust, learning to let go, learning how to grieve with Christ’s hope, and learning how to have grace on myself while walking through these journeys.“ This time last year I had no clue what 2022 would be like for me. If I had to assign a word to its experiences as I did last year, I’d choose growth. Not only because I’ve grown through what I’d coined as the year of learning. But I’ve also become more aware of the growth in others as well as myself.  Growth in character, in the understanding of The Word, in willingness to learn new things, and more.  Training myself to recognize growth in others takes practice for me. It’s one of those things that usually requires me to sit back and observe without saying anything at all, instead of my default. AKA get up and go extroverted self. However, it’s one of the most rewarding things ...

Someone Special Gave Me a Pen

  It’s funny how little things can instantly bring back memories. Someone special gave me a pen… That someone was a person who loved others, gave their time & talents to serve others, would make sure that anyone knew Jesus loved them— that person is no longer with us.  Even though I miss her terribly, I know she’s with Jesus & that I’ll see her again. It’s been over a year since she passed and honestly, I’d forgotten about the pen by now.  I carried it with me from time to time, then life happened and it ended up being a sweet memory of a kind gesture.  I can honestly say that I don’t remember exactly why she gave me the pen, but it was the thoughtfulness that meant so much more to me than the item itself.  Little things can be powerful reminders of a person’s legacy. 🫢🏻
