If we want to get to know someone we ask them about their past-their story what makes the unique.Soldiers who have fought in World Wars and other conflicts come back with stories forever scarred in their minds-some are able t talk about it and others cannot.Some move on with their lives and some turn to drinking and other ways to ease their painful memories--each of us tho we have not been in a war have tho endured our own private hells and it helps to find someone to talk to and unburden our pain-if only for a short time--perhaps even to find healing from God to become the person you were destined to be and not stuck in the past with a painful memory. For myself I have had to look back once in a while and try to ease the pain through praying about my troubled past--one memory which has stayed with me all these years was recalling when I was 8 years old and seeing my Father in a drunken rage beat my Mother till she was bleeding from her nose and mouth
Those images are not easy to talk about and in doing a journal in a book from the author John Eldredge called Wild at Heart I revisited that scene long ago. To be honest tho I am older now I sobbed like a baby--wishing I could have done something and even more wishing that God would have stopped my Father somehow-in a way I guess HE did--my older sister started crying and he turned to see the 3 of us standing behind him(Me- my brother and sister)and he stopped hitting our Mother
Stories....if life is a story what is the plot? What is my role to play? What does God want of me? That would be good to know wouldn't it-What is this life all about? Some think all we are to do is to be born-live marry have kids get a good career make money get old and then die and then nothing.....I believe life is far more than what we realize here on old Terra Firma and Heaven is where God wants us all to be--but many will not end up there but in a far different hell of unimaginable pain-a never ending horror story
Where was God when my Mother was being beaten? Not sure exactly but I believe from the tears of mys sister He used them to stop my Father's rage--it may seem like a foolish explanation but it is my story and I will stick with it and that is not news BUT that too is Reality
