Broken Crayons Still Color: You Are Still Worthy

What a concept—when a crayon is broken, it still colors. It may not look the same. It may be shorter, jagged, or missing its wrapper. But its purpose remains. A broken crayon can still create something beautiful. And so can you.

Life has a way of breaking us. Pain, loss, trauma, disappointment—they leave cracks and scars, making us feel unworthy, unusable, or too damaged to be of value. Maybe you’ve felt that way. Maybe you’ve been told that your brokenness makes you less. But hear me when I say this: You are still worthy. You are still enough. You still matter.

In fact, it is often in our brokenness that we find the deepest beauty. Just like a broken crayon can create art just as vivid as a new one, your experiences, even the painful ones, shape the masterpiece of your life. Your struggles do not define you, but they can refine you.

Think about it—some of the most inspiring people in this world are not those who have had an easy journey, but those who have faced hardships and kept going. Their strength, resilience, and courage shine through the cracks. And that same strength exists in you.

Being broken does not mean you are useless. It does not mean your story is over. It means you have lived, you have endured, and you are still here. And as long as you are here, your life still has purpose.

So, if you’re feeling shattered, if you’re struggling to see your worth, I want you to remember this: Broken crayons still color. And you, my friend, are still capable of creating something beautiful. 💜

What Do You Want To Do?

What Do You Want To Do?

This is a question that I would pose to my ladies when I worked as the inpatient residential therapist, “What do you want to do when you grow up?”. They would come to our facility, at their lowest of lows, broken with little hope. My job was to give them the hard core facts but to lace it with beauty and hope.

When I asked this question (with ladies between the ages of 18 and 70), they would just look at me with wide eyes. For a moment, there was a world that they could become anything they wanted to be. Some ladies wanted to be moms, others wanted to work in the field of addiction, some wanted to be therapists, nurses, work in retail, the answers varied from person to person.

Facts

Here is a fact that most people don’t like. Every single person is one bad decision away from complete devastation in their lives. Everyone. The ladies I worked with, they made that decision and their lives were turned upside down and inside out. Here is the beauty. There is ALWAYS hope. Tomorrow is fresh and new. Each person can take the brokenness of life and create something beautiful out of it.

What are the pieces of your life that are broken? Is there something, out of that brokenness, that you can create and make something beautiful out of it? If you see a pitcher…like to hold water. The job of that pitcher is to hold liquid for drinks, possible put flowers in it but it has a purpose, right?

What happens when there is a crack in that pitcher or if the handle broke off of it or even if someone dropped it and it shattered all over the floor. Typically, one would sweep up the shards of glass and throw it away. What if…just what if, you took the shards and brokenness and did something besides throw it away.

What if you took a canvas, slathered it with glue and created a beautiful mosaic with those broken pieces and you hung up that creation in your house. That pitcher will no longer hold water but the beauty of the sun shining on the different colors of glass will be stunning. You took what was broken and created beauty out of it.
