THE SECRET IS OUT
A week ago, I broke my silence on social media. It was a silence birthed from years of over-exposure in the media, which led me to crave privacy. Real privacy. I didn't want anyone to know where I was or what I was feeling, and so I stayed silent. And for a while, it worked. It was pure heaven.
But then, God broke through my high heart-walls and took me through such a heroic story of rescue and restoration, that now I dare not keep it a secret. The truth bursts out of me.
It's been 8 days since I outed myself on social media of the spiritual closet and it is so freeing. I have been flooded with 'me too' messages. A sea of friends who have also been searching and have found the same undeniable truth.
Thank you for your messages and encouragement. Someone wise once told me, "When you become a secret-Christian, the gospel story stops with you!"
I declare - the gospel story will not stop with me.
