Through the Broken Glass

Through the shattered pieces of glass, one can still see an image. Not a disfigurative image though. No this image reflected a young woman whose face looked as though she had been defeated. Yet she was still here. The face of exhaustion, loneliness, and sadness was all you can see on this young woman’s face. Her eyes told a story; no written words needed. However, unlike most stories, this one in particular did not have an ending. In fact, she was in the moment of creating the next chapter. You see, though we only see a “defeated” woman through the glass, she saw the image of a soldier. Though temporarily wounded, the strength to overcome her battles was still there. Though the devil may find ways to try and shatter her and shake her faith, when this young woman saw that there was still a clear and unbroken image through the broken glass, she knew right then that she had not been defeated and her victory was still to come. She remembers the account of Beth-horon, when Joshua was greatly outnumbered by all the kings of the Canaanites. But through God, Joshua was able to lead Israel to victory, destroying all the kings and continuing to conquer more cities after that…Picking up the pieces from where she left off, the young woman begins to sculpt and reconstruct a plan that she knew would require much dedication and sacrifice. A risk she was willing to take. What was once just pieces of glass, will soon be molded into a radiant and distinct piece of art.
