I'm thinking...

that most of us forget God created us to be whole and complete.  We were meant for so much more than we sometimes limit ourselves to.  Over the month and a half we have been working with our first single mother.  She has many strengths; she is responsible, trusting, sincere, as well as many others.  Though she has many strengths she also struggles to herself as a person who can do incredible things with her life.  All too often the people in her life have told her that she can't do it or she's not worth.  It's so hard to see people broken in this way and just when I want to feel pity I remember my own struggles in this area.  The Fall not only separated us from God but it also separated us from our true selves.  I'm so thankful that Jesus came to rescue us.  He is our hero who sees us for who we really are.
