Oprah finds out that her Mother gave up a daughter for Adoption. The daughter's name is Patricia which actually was the same name of the daughter that had passed a few years back. I was MOVED by this story because OPRAH took it upon herself to dedicate an entire show to uncovering the FAMILY SECRET which turned out to be a BLESSING in disguise! Oprah now has a half sister who she met for the very first time!
Every family has SECRETS including mine... There is a time and place for everything. For me its been very hard choosing when and how to disclose certain things. I know there are many in my Family that wish I was quiet and reserved. Or maybe not compelled to address the things that have happened during my life thus far. I believe my motives are pure BUT I will admit that my Presentation and Timing haven't been the best... Especially recently.
I can't say that I haven't wanted to inflict pain to certain family members in an attempt to get them to acknowledge my pain and emotional torment, that I've endured for much of my life by KEEPING Family Secrets.
With the New Year... I've chosen to continue to do some major soul searching and counseling in an attempt to address my brokenness. I ask for your prayer, as I try to deal with my past in a way that will enable me to become empowered rather than living in the jail of my mind, that has often made Me feel chained to the past...
