Breaking free Quote by Ann Voskamp
““There are days when the sharp edge of self-condemnation cuts you so deep that you can be reaching, grasping, but can’t seem to remember to believe that He believes in you. God, make us the re-membering people. Maybe the only way to begin breaking free is to lay open your willing hands and bear witness to the ugly mess of your scars.””
