Our mess - our ministry

"You cannot amputate your history from your destiny. Transparency is essential to your ministry." - Beth Moore

"Your mess can be your ministry." - Priscilla Shirer

Such wise words from such wise, God-following women.

In preparation for sharing my life story with others, I can see, on paper, just how messed up my life was before Jesus, just how poor my decision making was. Oh how thankful I am that He saved me from myself, that He redeemed me and restored my wasted years. Now, I have a story to tell and God is using my "mess" as my ministry. He can make something beautiful out of the ugliest things. He is amazing. He is Holy. He is my God!

,Amen
