Introducing: Share Your Story; Own Your Brokenness Series

I started scouting for articles for this series in March with no idea that just like the Chastity For Men series, God wanted me to start with my own story.
I got articles from two persons and would have run the series if one of the people I asked to write in didn’t hold me up.
Looking back now, I can tie up the delay with God just working in me to the point where He could ask me to share my own story too.
At the beginning of the year when I knew this year would be my year of #WalkingInPurpose, I had no inkling on some of the things God had planned for me to walk in (the books and more , all God blowing my mind!).
This year I have seen God peeling the past off of me, releasing me to walk in the now and the future to come in Him.

This name of this series is actually a step in my second book “10Steps To Walking In Purpose” which will be released in September by God’s grace. (more details will be up soon)
I had already written the step on “Share Your Story, Own Your Brokenness” when I felt pulled by the Spirit that it wasn’t quite complete.
I was still hiding something in my life even though I was encouraging others to share their story in my book.
And so began a series of “argument” with the Spirit on indeed going all out with “Sharing my story”.
And my conversation with God is what I will be sharing as the first post in this series today.
With the hopes that anyone who traces this series from the beginning can see where it all started from.
Anyone who struggles with sharing their story can perhaps draw strength from my own struggle too.
The jotter in which I wrote this conversation is actually still stained with my tears the day I wrote it.
It seemed like God was being wicked and just wanted to spoil my reputation (ask me what reputation biko? *hiss*)

Hopefully, you can pick out my voice from God’s in the convo below…

– My story – my story – share your story…
– I don’t know if I can Lord. I can’t work past the **********
How do I share that?
How do I work past that?
Is it possible?
Is it possible?
Of course it is, but I don’t know if I can.
But my story isn’t complete without it, is it?
I don’t know if I can, it’s too shameful.
What will people think?
What will people say?
Will I ever get/find a man who will marry me once I say that out loud?
And I know you mean on the blog – so openly – Lord I don’t think I can.

– But this is the calling Frances, your imperfections. I told you I was going to use it all. I told you I was going to use it all.
Someone needs it Frances.
Someone needs it.

– Lord, this is too deep. Too deep. Too deep.
What you are asking me is too deep.
– But you not being able to speak about it means that you are still tied to it.
Let the scars out – let me heal them. Let me heal them. Let me heal them and let me heal the scars of others too. Let me heal the scars of others too.
Purpose Frances, this is the path.
Your imperfections aren’t meant to be hidden. I brought you out of them remember? Let me bring another out of them through you.
Let me bring another out of them through you.
-But this is too much Lord.
Too much.
I most definitely won’t find a man who’ll marry me after this.
– Good, I will bring him to you. He’ll find you. You aren’t supposed to find him anyway.
– Lord, why are you doing this?
-Frances, you knew it was your purpose. You knew. I will give you the words. You know that isn’t a problem. The book on purpose and the path of purpose I have placed you on is this.
I called you out of your imperfections and intend to use them for me.
This isn’t with how people will view it. This is me telling you to let it all out. You will heal and others will be healed through this.
I need you to share your story Frances (Own your brokenness)
I’m asking you to share your story.
Will you obey me?
Will you obey me?
This is your path of purpose Frances and it isn’t all dandy and good.
Help release people from the weight and burden of condemnation.
I have done it for you, help me do it for other people too.
Frances obey me. Frances obey me. Obey me.
You wanted(knew that this year is a year of purpose didn’t you?
This is it Frances.
We are going all out.
Go back to your notes. I didn’t call you out of your imperfections for yourself.
It’s for others, to draw them out of their own imperfections too.
Would you let me do that?
This is the final one. The final hurdle. The last one to functioning fully in me.
Would you let me do that?
Would you let me use you as I should/purposed to?
Would you let me use you like I’ve purposed to?
Would you let me use you like I’ve purposed to?
Would you let me use you like I’ve purposed to?

– What would dad think?
What would….
– God has a whole different plan for this ebook and I will let Him do what He will.
The pen is in your hand Lord, write with it.
*Share Your Story…
Own Your Brokenness…

Want to know if I indeed obeyed God and shared what He wanted me to share?
No, it wasn’t the story on my sexual addictions (I obeyed on that months back).
It was a story I wanted to forget and hide – one that had me asking God why He wanted to spoil my life now before I have even gotten married to anyone. (Lol. Our human minds!)

Well, next week we will see if I actually love God like I say I do.
Did I obey Him or not?
Next week.

Till Next Time On Share Your Story Series,
Love,
Frances
