… it is a great thing that we can come and step inside the ability of God

bootsNever be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. – Corrie Ten Boom

Uncertainty has been a large part of my journey – but God has been larger.

I knew how to get up and get out of bed – I knew how to exist in that day. I told my brain “just breath”, just get through the day.

… that was 3 years ago.

Today – my answers are not found in the desperate parts of my brokenness but in the ability of God.

I read a passage today;

Mark 6:41

“Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all”

When the disciples brought five loaves and two fish to Jesus, it was never going to be enough to feed the multitudes. But instead of complaining about how little food there was, Jesus blessed the little. He did this because the miracle was never about the loaves and fish; it was about what the boy’s offering had the potential to become in the hands of a miracle-working God.

Once Jesus blessed what was never going to be enough, He then broke it … and that is where the miracle of multiplication began. The blessing is in the breaking; it is those very things that we thought would take us out because they broke us that become the things we feed to others.

If we will put our broken lives, relationships, bodies, finances, emotions, dreams and hopes into the hands of our gracious and redeeming God, He will use them to feed the multitudes.

Our brokenness does not disqualify us from being used by God; it is the very thing that qualifies us. – Christine Caine

I have met brave women who are exploring the outer edge of human possibility, with no history to guide them, and with a courage to make themselves vulnerable that I have found both inspiring and moving beyond words.
