broken

I want to credit the quote on my tagline to a beautiful friend of mine, Rebecca. I found it on her blog. I’m so thankful that at a time of change and brokeness in my life I have been blessed to receive comfort from others who have also been comforted. As I’m seeing in the hearts of beautiful people around me when you are broken the Lord really can make something beautiful out of your life, and use you to touch and comfort others.

(Thank you, for comforting me and being a wonderful blessing in my life. Your friendship came at a perfect time and the words and quotes you have shared with me are as apples of gold in pictures of silver. -I love you!)

( and here’s that quote: )

In love, your heart gets stretched to the limit and breaks. The last thing you want to do is love again, yet a Wise Soul tells you to keep loving, even though it hurts, because in this stretching you increase your ability to love, especially through heartache.

 In fighting, you fight until you fall, and you don’t want to get back up again. But your loving Commander tells you to keep fighting, even though you feel like dying, because in continuing to fight you’ll find a Strength that isn’t your own and you’ll go on to victory.
