What Can Be Done With the Broken Pieces?

Lyrics:

She's crying out tonight
She can't do this anymore
The pieces that won't fit
Have her shaken to the core

She's been hiding from the truth
She's tried so hard to escape
'Til there's nothing left to lose
'Til there's nothing left to fake

Another smile, another day
She gives herself away
Cause "pretty is as pretty does"
And pretty will not fuss

She did everything she could
To hide away the pain
To keep her house
The way her mama told her to
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Oh how will she explain?
What do you do with a million pieces?


She's finally seen the light
That He loves broken things
So, let all the pieces fall
And see what that freedom brings

Another smile, another day
And "pretty does" just walks away
The woman she's becoming
Is the one that's real

She did everything she could
To hide away the pain
To keep her house
The way her mama told her to, but
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Oh how will she explain?
What do you do with a million pieces?

I know the plans I have for you
Is such a sweet refrain

She did everything she could
To hide away the pain
To keep her house
The way her mama told her to but
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
This heart won't be contained
What do you do with the broken places?





Susan Ashton discusses a life changing moment!
http://youtu.be/sr6L_vaQ42s

I listened to Susan's testimony of her life changing moment and the tears began to well up. I could completely identify. I was there once. God began to call me back to him....I stood before him with a life that was broken into a million pieces. I had made mistakes....hurt people that I cared about.

Over a life time I had become a very bitter and angry person....The bitterness and anger built up inside me and became like a simmering volcano. One day it all exploded. I became a person that I said I would never be. I did things I said I would never do. Depression, anger, bitterness, rejection can be a dangerous concoction.

I remember sitting in a heap on the floor....crying and crying and crying. I said "GOD HELP ME!" It has taken time, but HE is slowly, one piece at a time putting me back together....This time it will be the right way. I am not trying to be perfect on my own....I can't! I am just being the best version of me I can with HIS help.

It is time to be real, honest and open and Father God says it is time to share....so here I am.

My hope is that something I share in this blog or ones I share in the future...will bless and help you!

Open Before The Lord!  Donna
