Adage #13: Find the beauty in the breakdown.

I’ve had a bit of a rough year, ever have one of those? There were a lot of changes - some good and some bad. Someday I will look back at this year and instead of considering it a waste of time, I will see that I was able to embrace the lessons I was learning and praise God despite things not going according to plan.




There’s a song by Frou Frou called “Let Go.” Here's how the chorus goes:
“So, let go, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
It's all right
'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown
So, let go, let go
Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here
It's all right
'cause there's beauty in the breakdown.”

This year I learned to find beauty in the breakdown. This is not to say that there were not a lot of good moments in my life this year because there were many of them! But I also found myself experiencing types of sorrow I had never dealt with before. And in the midst of crying in my car while listening to a sad song on the radio, I learned to find the beauty in it all. Beauty in the process of mending a broken heart. Beauty in watching God unfold a plan he’s had for all eternity. Beauty in the journey of being a human being. Beauty in learning to love others first. Beauty in the community God provided me with. Beauty in finding God in everything and all around me.

Where have you found God’s beauty recently?
