Storytime?… Edited
Aug 16th 2008CindyUnCategorized
We all have a story. Some of us keep it locked away while others are dying to tell the world. I think I fall somewhere in the middle - I’d like to tell my story with no reservations, to really share with the world what I’ve survived, what I’ve achieved, what I’ve lost and what I’ve forgotten. The problem is that I just don’t know if I can really be that honest with the whole world. (cause you and I both know that the whole world would read my book, right?) It’s not the rest of the world that worries me as much as it is the people who are closest to me.
Stange, isn’t it? The people you would expect to already know your story are the ones you’d like to keep it hidden from. Maybe not you, but me. I guess that isn’t exactly true. It’s not so much the people who are close to me emotionally but the ones who are close in proxemity but not on an emotional level. Hmmm… did that even make sense?
Nevermind.
One day I will write a book but you will never know it because I will use a different name. 
Hopefully, I’ll find a good editor who will correct all my typos and spelling errors.
For now, I’ll have to settle for the edited version of my story as it unfolds live… right here in the middle of blogland.
PS… I should add that I’m not embarrassed or ashamed of any part of it. There are definitely parts that I probably should be ashamed of… ha ha ha… but then again, without them the story would be a bit boring, right? Anyway, it’s just that people have this way of using information against you; sometimes without even realizing it. Anyone know what I mean?

In a bizarre way I totally understand what you mean. There is so much more that I want to say but I just can’t.

The people who really love you and care about you will hear and know all the story and love you and not judge you. Just like everyone’s story - I’m sure there are parts that we will all giggle but part of that will be because we are just like you and we are embarrassed to tell the story.
Thats the beauty of God’s grace and mercy - He knows everything and in spite of all of our shortcomings and sins and whatever else, He loves us enough that He sent His son to die on a cross for us. There is so much power in that statement!
You’re always in my thoughts and prayers. Stand proud of who you are and where you have come from and know that you are loved in spite of whatever the whole story is.

My only reservations on my blog are my family that read it. I have no problem venting and spilling, but knowing that my parents and in-laws read my blog…well, I’m a bit reserved.

Yes, yes, and yes…which is why no one in my family (except my husband who doesn’t read it) knows my blog address.
