Life is messy sometimes! And under the weight of things, we may be tempted to believe we are too messy or too broken to be close to God - or to be used by Him.
The truth is God uses broken things all the time, and trusting Him with our whole story leads us into partnership with Him. Perspective changes everything - so what if we begin to see our struggles and the pain points in our lives as purposeful tools to help point others to Jesus?
Is. 43:19, “See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” (NIV)

We choose to stand with Him in His restoration process. Discover how to turn all the hurts over to Jesus, and embrace the beautiful life of redemption and restoration He has for us.
