Wisdom by Erika Masterson
It’s the cracks that are in us from pain and difficulties in life that reveal the light of Christ living inside us. The brokenness is what reveals his glory.

I had this magnolia and I photographed it alive and beautiful, but the next day it had aged but was still intact and I just knew I had to do a self portrait as it reminded me of my own journey...
