She Stands

* I take no credit for this photo* How many times in life do we come to a crossroad?  I know......Many right? With every new season in life, we come to a crossroad. I have encountered many in my life. Some good........ Some not so good.  I am sitting at one at this very moment in my life... Waiting for instruction on which road I am to take.  I know most see a cross road as a major life change and I agree, most are.  My cross road my not be huge or major, but to me ,never the less, it is a cross road.  In the past I have always ran ahead of God.... Turning on  roads I thought were best.  Little did I know I would have to back up, turn around, and start over..... Many times...... Which is exhausting in itself, Can I tell you? ~Sheesh~  The good news.... Our daddy God never leaves us as we are. We are not left stranded on the side of the road. He has given us a map.... Road signs..... Others standing for us , pointin...

I was broken. My heart was shattered like shards of glass..... My soul cried out in pain...... My physical appearance had begun to disappear. I literally was walking through my life in a state of hopelessness. And I had no clue........... By God's grace, I had several in my life that were called to stand with me and for me. Those who encouraged and lifted me up on a daily bases. Those who held me up when all I wanted to do was lay down.... Those who would not let me quit in life.  No judgement.......... They gave me hope..... The gave me love.  The broken need hope and to have hope, they need to be loved.  They need to see there is a light in the midst of the darkness..... For others to speak into their lives with a resounding voice of victory.  When we extend love ( light), the broken begin to have hope and faith then becomes a light.  God's word tells us in  1 Corinthians 13:13 13 ...
