Toni Collier is confident that God makes everything beautiful in his time (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
As the founder of the international women’s organization called Broken Crayons Still Color, Collier is intimately acquainted with the heartbreaking experiences many women encounter. And she’s also seen the incredible hope and healing God can bring to those women and their stories.
“A part of being a victim is thinking that you don’t have control,” says Collier on a recent episode of Where Ya From? “Whoever’s controlling you and whatever’s going on in your life, you don’t have control. But the truth is God’s given us dominion and he never took that away. And we are co-laborers with him in helping to make beauty from these fragile, broken, pieces of our lives.”
Whether we are walking alongside someone who is hurting, or we are the ones feeling fractured ourselves, may we remember that God is present with us, offering comfort, wholeness, and redemption.
