Where did the name Purposefully Broken come from?

Welcome to day one of my blog! Thank you for following me on this journey God has prepared for you and for me! I wanted to start out by explaining where this all started!

About 20 years ago in our church in Pueblo, Co., Landmark Apostolic church, we had an evangelist come. He had the gift of healing. After a church service my husband and I were talking with him, and he and my husband had previously been talking about my bout with depression. During this season I was severely dealing with depression. As we were talking, he tells me, God has not shown me what is going on with you, but your husband and I have talked about it. The next words that came out of his mouth I felt like Sarah, when Abraham told her she was going to have a baby in her old age, I couldn't believe the prophecy at the time. It seemed so impossible, as it did for Sarah when she was told she was going to have a baby. He told me, one day you will help others going through depression. I literally laughed! He looked at me seriously and said I know it's hard to believe now, but it will come to pass.

Well 20 years later this "baby" has been born. Did I get here over night? Absolutely not, I have been through various trials and seasons of depression. But God...He broke me down in pieces and built me back with His purpose in mind. That is where the name Purposefully Broken was birthed. I have prayed and asked God where He wants to take me in this journey and we are at the starting line. I am so happy you are a long for this journey. I hope to encourage and help you through depression, anxiety, emotions as I have the last 30 years of my life. Am I 100%, no but that's what keeps my eyes on Jesus! Let's do this together!
