Telling My Story
To start the book in Chapter 8, Allender (2009) says it is important to "put our story, the
writing of our lives, out there for others to read. Which parts of your story have been easy for
you to tell? What parts of your story have been complex for you to let other people in? Two
distinct feelings—joy and apprehension—come to mind while considering telling a story.
Sharing the experience with others or something as fundamental as making someone laugh
because our knowledge makes someone else laugh brings us delight.
On the other hand, another concern is the fear of sharing a story that causes us to open
up to people and become vulnerable. The tale of mending ties with my father is one I did not
mind sharing. Talking about it was emotional, but sharing my experience allowed me to see
things more clearly. Because every person has a unique family history, I believe that by sharing
my experience, others would understand my challenges and appreciate what I had to say. I also
realize holding all my emotions inside and not speaking about the situation will cause some
stress and unknown answers in your life. Communication plays an essential role in people's
lives.
Especially understand someone’s situation and gain clarity on both sides.
Furthermore, I feel how it helped me change and grow into who I am now. Therefore, I
am not ashamed to reveal this aspect of whom I am or worried about what people may think. It
would be more intimate to discuss my family in the portion I was scared to discuss. Unless we
are close, I won't choose to share that with you since I consider it private and priceless. It
should be an honor for people to hear my narrative and something they should value. Because
not everyone can understand my tale, I must be careful about whom I tell it to when I share it.
"And around the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani," which is "My God, My God, what have you deserted me?"," according to
Matthew 27:46 (n.d.). Although we are unique to God, he nonetheless guides us through a
process that results in our success. The idea is that nothing comes easy and that we must
overcome obstacles in life. God is right there at our side as we do it.
