Make Something Beautiful

Three days after my brother was found, my anxiety is still running high and it's hard to concentrate at some times. I guess the adrenaline is still running through my system.

I had a chance to talk to him last night, which helped a lot. If you've ever known someone who went missing for a few days, there really are no words to express what it is like to talk to them again. The joy is overwhelming. I am used to talking to my brother 2-4 times a day so to go without talking to him for 5 days was something that was nearly impossible.

I have to continue to trust God that he will recover and heal, just as I have these past few months. I hope and pray that he feels better.

My mom kept telling me to listen to the following song this past week. The song is Natalie Grant's Burn Bright.

The lyrics that spoke to me most were:

"You can rise up from the ashes
Make something beautiful
Of all the broken pieces."

So often we feel broken and we don't think we can keep going or we think we can't move forward or we think that we're too broken. Through God, we can find the strength we need to keep going. Through God, we can find the will to make something beautiful out of the broken pieces.
