We all have varying degrees of mess in our lives. Whether it's abuse, self-doubt, divorce, addiction, fear, or some other barrier, our mess keeps us from living this one life God gave us. Join Karyn as she journals her way through her mess of childhood sexual abuse and her struggles with debilitating anxiety and fear. Mess to Masterpiece reveals how her journey has impacted her relationships, her worldview, and how she learned to live life instead of just trying to survive. Each chapter takes a closer look at how Karyn allowed God to transform her thinking, thus changing her attitudes and behavior. Her vulnerability is both refreshing and challenging. If she can overcome insurmountable obstacles, she is confident that you can too. With some faith in God, hope for a better tomorrow, along with insight and wisdom from her life experience, you are ready to embark on your own journey to freedom. From her heart, Karyn shares some important life lessons she's learned along the way, like, forgiveness, thankfulness, hope, faith, and the importance of grief. This inspirational and encouraging book of essays serves to remind us that our friend Jesus can transform our messiest moments into undeniable examples of redemption and grace.
