A letter from Becky

God used The Breaking to meet tender, deeply wounded places in me. I started going to The Breaking when I was coming out of a spiritually, mentally, and emotionally abusive ministry situation. I had my faith, that felt like it was hanging on by the narrowest threads some days, my marriage and family, and a few friends. Most of the rest of my life felt like it had been shattered to so many pieces it was dust.

I went to several gatherings of The Breaking and only talked to the one person I knew and I’d go home. Bible study started that fall and I started going fairly soon after it started. I only knew one of the women, but I got there and another woman shared some of her life and some of it sounded just like mine. I was in the right place.

It took a little time for me to share my life. Trust had been severely broken and building trust with anyone felt very risky, even if they had nothing to do with what I had been through. That trust did develop and I was able to share my life.

Not only did I open up more of my life during Bible study and at The Break, but I had the opportunity to share some of my testimony at The Breaking. God gave me the words to share how He had worked during very difficult times in my life, how He is still working in my life.

I don’t know where I would be now if it wasn’t for the women in The Breaking. The Breaking is a place of invitation-an invitation to be yourself, to share your life and testimony in your way and your timing, an invitation to bond and grow with other women, and an invitation to be more closely knit with Christ.
