I'm now thinking about you Syd. Sharing my own experience, I have found "secrets", lies, sin make me want to sleep.
Because I am hypersensitive, every shadow/darkness of my youth was perceived (I perceived) in a heightened way. The sin of my father's anger (inappropriate/unpredictable) within the home . . . was not to be "aired". Undeserved blame games/finger pointing/consequences . . . keep a little one "sleeping". Rigid rules, overbearing control and societal monopolies . . . stifle.
The way our light is "snuffed out" is by OUR ALLOWING others to put THEIR bucket over us . . .
To reclaim our significance, meaning, purpose . . . we need to allow God to air us and unbind our lips.
In truth, honesty and light, we want to wake up. We want to tell our story not to point fingers but to learn from each other . . . to learn from our sin.
Syd, there is a really good reason you woke up this morn!
Gotta go!
