Thoughtfully Broken

What does it mean?

In my life, I am learning that in many ways, we are all broken.  Your broken parts can come from the past, present  or future ... they can be circumstantial or situational, or they can drop on you like a piano from 10 stories up.

My personal brokenness comes from losing my mom, longing to be a mother, and what those two things have done to me over this past year of my life.  I think in a lot of ways I have personally be sucker punched  hit hard with my broken parts, because I was such a "la la la, life is a happy field of clover" person before this all covered me up.

The thoughtful part comes from (prepare yourself) thinking.  Not just living in the moments of broken things, but thinking about them.  What impact do these things have on you?  What can change because of them?  Where do you see God?  Where do you not? What does it all mean to you?  The people that love you? How will you react? What can or will you do now?

I want to strive to be Thoughtfully Broken because otherwise, I am just broken.  I know, in my heart, that I am more than that and so are you.
