Like Georgina, you may be feeling broken. You may feel like you aren't worth anything because of something you've done, something that's been done to you, or something you were born with. Nothing could be further from the truth. God loves you anyway and can heal your brokeness. #AnElegantFacade

One of the most amazing things that happens when we finally turn over control of our lives to God is that we see everywhere He's been in our lives. He works even when we don't see it and sometimes it isn't until after the fact that we notice just how involved He was. #AnElegantFacade
