 | Everyone has a story about someone in their lives that has looked beyond their brokenness and recognized a valuable person inside. The person in my story is my sister La Vonne. As a divorced mom of two very small toddlers, I returned to my hometown to live and raise my girls. As a previous stay-at-home mom with only a high school education, I did not feel equipped to find a job that could support my family. Who would hire me with no higher education and very little work experience? My sister and her husband managed a restaurant in this small town and after discussing my dilemma with her, she asked if I would be willing to wait tables a couple of nights a week. I remember asking her, “Do you think I am capable of doing that?” She replied, “of course you are.” La Vonne looked through my brokenness to give me an opportunity to feel valued when I did not think I was worthy. |
