Brokenness

      There are many times when the river of life ebbs, rather than flows. But what I have learned is, these hiccups, they come & they go. You can ride out some really high highs & then hit some really low lows. & as I have learned in the past, we need them both. We can't have one without the other. They keep each other in check. Our highs are meant to help us make our gains. They give the strength & courage to chase our goals. Most times we find success during our highs.. Our highs are true blessings. But then again, so are our lows. Our lows are meant to keep our egos in check. Our lows are meant to draw us back & remind us of our desperate need for God. So rather than fight our lows, maybe we should embrace them. Maybe lows don't ever really have to be a negative thing. Maybe they're simply meant to remind us to embrace brokenness & press harder into God.
