A Story to Tell

We all have a story to tell
Each and every one of us
Special and Unique
Designed with a purpose

 Recently a lot of past hurts have been brought up. A lot has been said, talked about and thought about and you know I have learned something about myself through it all. I have traveled a long road to get this far (literally and metaphorically) and I am not done yet. I still have flaws and weaknesses. I still have sore spots and places where I need God's healing touch. There are a lot of things I have been open about with friends and family but there are also a lot of things I only talk about when directly asked. I think we all have those things and those sore spots. I think, if we think about it each and every one of us has something they are not proud of, something they would change or undo given the chance. Something that you would never guess, something well hidden. Recently I have felt challenged to open up about a lot of these things in my life and I don't know when or how that will happen but given the chance I will freely share. I have posted a lot about life and lessons on my blog, and someone must be getting blessed by my words or I would not have this many pageviews but even I have secret things, hidden deep down where nobody can see them unless I want them to. Those are the things God is pushing me to share. It's a long list believe it or not. A list that is scary for some people. The list of things I have struggled with runs deep and ranges from self-hate and self-injury (yes I said it) to confidence and trust issues. I have been hurt a lot in my life. I have moved from place to place living like a nomad for a long time now. I have learned a lot the hard way and I have been blessed in a lot of ways but in the end I guess what I am trying to say is that we all have a story to tell, some longer than others and that should you want to know mine all you have to do is ask. It's not about attention or fame. It is just me, sharing my heart and wanting to bless other with a story of challenges, faith and God's love for me.
