Falling Apart

Falling apart...so other things fall together; When one door closes....another opens; If life throws you lemons....make lemonade; The grass is always greener on the other side. If it wasn't for all the cliches I might think that no one else ever experiences rough days, heartache or pain as humans we are so good at hiding the truth, hiding our insecurities, failures or even our goodness. We live lives that are simply lived and nothing more, there is no transparency in our hearts or minds; something in us makes us to prideful to admit defeat and too shamed to show our failures. When we are in the darkness, there is a great call to the light; "Follow me". We aren't supposed to live lives sheltered from others or dissatisfied with our lives or the things that we experience. Transparency in the midst of failure can be one of the most freeing things, allowing people to see you fall to your knees and ask God to pick you up. I am not perfect, I am a failure, I am shamefully scarred and hurt but I am also redeemed and beautifully broken in the midst of it all.
