Broken Pieces

It's 12:21 am, I should be in bed, I have to get up to work in about less than 7 hrs. However I can't sleep. I'm missing a few people that are apart of my life. People and friends that I once had relationship with and current friends that are still close yet so far. My heart is heavy and I'm not sure what to do but write you this blog and I haven't blogged in so long. Yet here I am.

You know, I just love people! I honestly do! I love having conversations and making people laugh, I love the acceptance and invitation. It does my heart good. I Just love it!

and so I guess you might say that when rejection hits, I can take it deep and it can really bother me. I don't like it, I want to make it right and usually I'll be the first to try and a fix it.

Well, God really had to work that out in me this past year when I went through some rejection moments. I won't go into detail but let's just say, rejection was a major tool and I was hurt bad.

It was one of those things that you really couldn't do anything about it, God knew I would try and fix it but its like He tied my hands and I couldn't make the situation better.

It was hard, yet I KNEW God was teaching me something and it took me months to really put my mind around what He was trying to show me. I was broken, shattered to pieces at the things and words that had come from people and friends that I trusted my life and faith with. But here's the thing, you can allow yourself to get into a bad place of rejection or you can take those moments and produce positivity and lessons that will improve your life and next season! Here's what I learned about rejection and being broken.
God loves broken things and sometimes we try to pick up the broken pieces because like me, WE WANT TO FIX IT FAST! Put the pieces back together as quickly as possible. But God loves the broken because He finds joy to put the pieces back together, this is an opportunity to show His greater love, grace, mercy and plan for your life.

My timing is certainly not God's timing and I found out that if you allow God to put the pieces back together in His timing that the masterpiece will turn out better then what it was before. If I try to do it myself it will get messier!

you see, if we pick up what's broken and start piecing it back, we'll most likely follow the pattern and shape of how it used to be and sometimes we force ourselves to make it look exactly like how it was but if we allow God to piece it back together He'll create a new thing, something better, fresher!
No doubt' He's doing a new thing, He's still clueing and creating the pieces in my life, but throughout this journey in what God's showing and teaching me, I've found new reflections and Love that goes beyond rejection, Love that breaks down walls and shatters the enemy's plan and scheme! I found new relationships, I've learned new ways, I'm becoming something newer than what I was.

So, let God do the work, let Him guide and lead you. Allow yourself for correction and renewal, purge pride and humble yourself be open to what He's teaching you and watch how God propels you into a fruitful and loving season!
