I trace your story
across your face,
and I want to rewrite,
but I read.
I am too broken
to fix you.
I feel your wounds
with heart and hands,
but mine can’t heal,
just hold.
I am too broken
too.
So I lift stories
and hearts and wounds
as whispers and cries
in God’s ear.
I am too broken
to fix you.
I beg it’s enough
to make you whole,
that He was broken
to fix you.
I am too broken
too.
Stunning.
This is my heart sprawled on this page. Wow. Ouch.
How I relate …
This is where I am too. Love you, T.
That’s exactly how I feel!

I'm with you, Sister, in brokenness.
I think we all have brokenness. It’s just that some of us are more aware of it than others. And with that we fall into the trap of comparing our insides to other people’s outsides.
So true!
Beautifully written.
Great stuff.
Reality.
If I didn’t know better, I would think you had written this just especially to help me today.
I love it when you write like this.
This testifies to the difficult journey you have been through with What a Woman’s Worth in such a poignant way. And yes, it is more than enough to know that He was broken to fix me. His sacrifice, his healing, his embrace, his tender, amazing, and perfect love, make all things new. I pray that all who are broken might be renewed by Him.
God bless you, Tamara, and thank you for the strong commitment, deep faith, amazing courage, and loving sacrifice you have made to see this project through to completion. You are being His hands and His feet in this world. Your own brokenness creates compassion for other people’s pain. And although ultimately, only He can heal, you are His agent, bringing the broken into His clinic.
Well done, good and faithful servant.

Thank you so very much for this. xo
Thank you, broken friends, for meeting me here. Bless you each. <3
So true – we are all too broken to heal anyone else. There is only one Savior, isn’t there? Lovely, Tamara. Glad to see you waxing poetic again.
It took me a long time to recognize I was too broken to fix others. What a relief to realize Someone Else could do what I could not.
