Thoughts

Secrets kill us, every day we alk around with something on our back, it drags us down and we feel like we are drowning.  We can't say it out loud becasue everyone will hear it.  What if we had friends who were close enough to help us.  What if we had someone to go to?  What if We could be FREE again.  This is what you can feel.  This is what God can do.  He can take your secrets away.  He can help you feel free again.  

There is a book out called PostSecret, people mail in their secrets.  The ones they never told anyone before.  This is the start of something.  A journey that will take us all to a place of freedom.  Here is one of the post cards.


"I attended your lecture at my college last week. As you read some of the secrets you'd received I found myself doing all I could to hold back tears .

After your presentation, I had my biggest midterm of the semester and I was so nervous I was shaking. I had just heard some bad news about my brother and it was eating me up inside. Before my exam I went into the bathroom, locked myself in a stall, and took out a pen. I wrote all my secrets on my legs and looked at them. When I walked back into the hall I felt some relief. My secrets were out there (under my pants where no one could see) but they were real now. 

I was able to take my midterm without having a panic attack."

They were real, that is how freeing just writing the down can be.  Please if you have a secret share it with someone you care about that can help you along this journey.
