Dear You,

There comes a time in our lives when we find ourselves so broken that we begin to believe that no one could ever repair us. We all will go through one situation or another that will change our lives forever. We may all find ourselves at a point trying to understand how we made it to this place of brokenness and how we will make it out.

Here is the thing. As we find ourselves in the place of brokenness there is quite a few things we could do. We could sulk and believe that nothing will ever get better, we could believe things can get better and then do nothing to rebuild or put the broken piece back together again, or we could do everything we can possibly do to rebuild our lives and glue our broken piece back together again.

Sulking will nine times out of ten get you nowhere. Why sit around and feel sorry for yourself instead of trying to find a way to make yourself feel better? Get up and find a way to rebuild, unless you just want to be broken for the rest of your life.

Believe that there is a way to rebuild yourself. However, faith without works is dead so if you believe that things will get better but you do not make the moves to piece together the broken pieces of your life how will anything change?

Rebuild your life! It is not going to be easy but nothing worth having is ever easy to get. Work for it, believe in yourself, and watch your broken places be restored.

Many may remember the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty, where he sat on a wall and fell off and nobody could put him back together again. When I think about Humpty Dumpty and how he fell off the wall I now find myself at the age of 22 trying to understand how Humpty got on top of the wall to begin with, and why he believed that sitting up there was even a good idea. Then I realize how similar we are to Humpty. We get ourselves into these situations that fail and then when we end up broken we expect help to be put back together. So when you find yourself in certain situations please ask yourself if you want to be like Humpty Dumpty or if you want to maintain your wholeness.
