Most of my life... I have lived with the realization that I am broken. I have prayed for healing. Some areas have been mended at best.
After 58 years on earth. I have come to the realization that I am who I am.
I have heard the story about the broken bucket several times in my life and that story comes to mind this morning.
If you don't know that story.. I will summarize... (if you know this story, jump to the end to read my application....
A young child was assigned a chore. Each day, she would walk to the well.... fill up two buckets and then make her way back to the house.
Day after day she would do this task but noticed when she got back to the house that one bucket was half empty.
One day, her father noticed that his daughter was sitting on the porch looking dejected. When asked, why so downcast she replied, "I can't do anything right!" The father asked her to explain.
She told him of her dilemma.
The father took her hand and they walked slowly to the well. Along their walk he showed his daughter that what she thought was a failure, unknowingly to her, had created a wonderful display of beauty. You see, as she walked that path with the leaky bucket, she was watering flowers unnoticed by her because she was focused on her failure.

I have come to the realization that God has used me more in my brokenness than He ever could have if I was totally whole.
Embrace who you are!
Allow God to use you in your brokenness.... and.... feel free to unashamedly leak every place you go!
