Fragmented pieces of life are swirling in my mind, creating a kaleidoscope effect when I step back and view them through the lens of faith.

The beauty of living freely. Being myself. Letting down my guard.

Laughing with unfettered joy.

Trusting.

Embracing my calling.

Finding passion and purpose in my today.

Then there are the darker pieces, adding a bittersweet effect to the mix…

Doubt. Where am I really meant to be, God? What is my special place?

Tears. The good, healing kind, which come from an unwavering belief that God is still good, even when everything else feels shaken.

The question, “Why?” And all of the emotions that come with it…

Sorrow, confusion, frustration… and finally, brokenness.

The step most crucial toward finding the beauty in it all.

Because until I’m broken, God can’t re-fashion me into the lady He wants me to become.

When life is a confusing swirl of fragmented, jagged-edged moments, doubt sees the tangled mess.

The decision to hold on to faith allows us to step back and see God’s love shining through.

And through that lens, I choose to view my life.

Through eyes of faith, I see Love shining through each piece.

Love that transforms confusion into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of light and dark, sorrow and joy… a beauty only made possible when the canvas belongs to the best Artist of all time.

Creator.

All-Knowing God.

The One Who I call Father.
