"Beautifully Broken" Crosses. Each one comes with this message: "After I trained with two glass artisans one of my biggest
takeaways as a new artist was the desire to find my own "voice" in my
work once my training was done (I’ve learned since it’s never really done). Because
glass can be fickle, I was sitting in my workshop
one day lamenting all the pendants I had fired that didn't match my vision, for
one reason or another. I felt I'd wasted God's resources and was really
frustrated about my shortcomings as an artist. While this was still on my mind,
I heard "Beautifully Broken" by LeadHer worship leader, Lori
Mosteller. It was then that God spoke into my heart, "I had to break you
to make you" and He gave me the vision to repurpose my
"mistakes" into something NEW. Our Creator doesn't toss us aside or
throw us away because we don't meet His vision for us. He takes who we are,
WHERE WE ARE and breaks us through intervention, circumstance, trials,
heartache, redirection, removal...whatever it takes. And he takes us in our
brokenness, moves the pieces around and creates something NEW through his son,
Jesus Christ. Beloved, know that our God SEES your potential, your value and
your BEAUTY...even when you don't. In your brokenness, it may feel your life is
being thrown away but in God's hands, He will make you whole again and if you
let Him, you will be MORE than you ever thought you could be. May you know
God's blessing today and everyday. You are Holy and DEARLY LOVED."
