I was inspired by another blog post I just read to bring some light and truth into my life that is anything but perfect. My life has never been and will never will be an airbrushed magazine cover. I am a mess, I need grace and the people I love are not puppet show dolls I can control.
Fact is! We are all flawed human beings and its time for some Fakebook/Facebook realness.
Fake: You see a picture of me and friends in 2010, smiling, having fun and enjoying some girl time!
Fact: I was miserable. I was married to an abusive man who actually didn’t know I was out that night, because I was to scared to tell him. My marriage was a mess and so was I.
This was the summer of my divorce. Again looks like a fun night, but inside I was broken, chained to bulimia and trying to fill my emptiness with a man.
This picture shows me and my nephew over Christmas. You see me, him and Christmas joy but nobody sees the struggles I had with my family in Germany only days before this picture was taken. Christmas Eve was full of tears and forgiveness.
Awww my sweet Jesus girlz. This picture shows the beautiful friendship we have but it doesn’t show the broken heart I had and the tears I cried over a break-up.
The sweet Mr.Robert as I like to call him. My Nanny job is rewarding and I wouldn’t want to work for anyone else but sometimes I wanna cry because I am tired, exhausted and got food stains all over my clothes. This picture shows the fun but not the days I cannot wait to spend some time by myself.
Now you have a little glimps of my True Life and not the one we all like to pretend we have. How much more real and authentic people would be if we would stop judging and instead carry each others burdens. We all have our pasts and our hidden secrets.
How beautiful to know that Jesus died for it all! No more reason to be fake on Facebook but instead get real with yourself and others
Love Jen
