Everyone has experienced some level of brokenness in their lives. I can say that I personally experienced a lot of pain and heartache in life. But it was in my complete brokenness where God met me and changed me. He is now using my life to help bring restoration to the wounded. It is His nature to use the places of brokenness and turn it into something beautiful.
Part of my redemption story is to allow God to use my life
to bring restoration to others. And sometimes I see this as something that will
happen in the future, a long time from now. This is probably because it’s
coming from the limited perspective that this will happen when we as a ministry
have something established and more tangible. Our heart is to network with
other anti-trafficking organizations and link arms. I recently had the
opportunity with Ezekiel Rain to create some illustrations for the safe home
where they are ministering to young adults. These young people came out of
exploitative situations. The sketches are meant to help bring a visual to the
process of restoration and the need to embrace the process.
This may seem like a small thing, especially since I’m still
developing in art skills, but God is showing me that He is very intentional
with those who belong to Him and every person matters to Him. I am beginning to
understand that He uses those who are willing in unexpected ways and that when
things are done in obedience, there will always be an impact on earth and in
eternity.
