How God Uses Brokenness in Your Life to Touch Others

The sun rises salmon over a row of spindly pines, and I stare out the window with an ache in my abdomen.  We’ve walked through our fair share of challenges throughout the past months, and I feel a little too weak – a little too broken – to do anything other than sit in this silence and ponder it all.  I’m thinking about how God uses brokenness to shape us to the image of Christ when a message appears on my phone.

A new friend who lives on the other side of town wants to get together for coffee.

She tells me she doesn’t know much about God and that she’d like to know more.

To finish reading how this conversation turned out, join me here, at my friend Lo Tanner’s blog, Laced with Purpose . . .

I’m passionate about equipping others to encounter God in powerful and life-changing ways. When I’m not writing, you’ll find me hiking, jogging, exploring wild places with my three young children and husband, leading small groups, and mentoring younger women. A certified special education teacher, I am on leave from the classroom for a season of chasing frogs and playing in creeks with my little ones. Most of all, the compassionate love of Jesus has forever ravished my heart, and I'm emphatic about making his love known to the world.
