Patty and Lisa → Beyond Brokenness

On the radio this week we talked about moving beyond brokenness - the place where obstacles, challenges, doubt, discouragement and loss happen. We've all been there - maybe still are! It's a place that haunts and distracts us from pursing our dreams and passions. It's a place that can sidetrack us and it's inevitable.

While traveling this summer I toured the home of Abraham Lincoln and experienced the Lincoln Museum. Now, as far as museums are concerned this one exceeds expectations and sets the standard. It vividly and innovatively reminded me that nothing remarkable happens in life without sacrifice, setbacks, criticism and heartache. (Am I depressing you yet?) Lincoln's accomplishments and legacy are off the charts but his day to day life was less than utopia.

Brokenness happens. Moving beyond it towards remarkable is a choice and an action. that starts with a small step.   Lisa
