Oh, if parents only knew....

Children keep secrets from their parents. Its known and proven fact. My boys do it. I did it. My parents did it. Their parents did it and so on. This is something children just do. They do it for numerous reasons. It may be out of embarrassment or shame, fear or ridicule, or just even out of surprise. Fact is, we all keep secrets and we all have secrets to keep. We usually have secrets because of the shame we would feel if someone found out or the ridicule we would get from others if the secret was made public. Whatever the reason, the is a reason it is called a secret.

Recently I came across a secret that didn't fall too far from my tree. Here is a young girl that kept a secret job from her parents. For what reasons the secret was kept I do not know. But that's not the point. The point is this girl had a reason for keeping her secret. It doesn't what her motives were behind it. That's her business. This girl actually had the courage to reveal her secret and get it off of her chest. That takes guts. Most of us keep our secrets because we are scared or afraid. Truth is, our secrets are what keep us sick. Oh how would I love to cleanse my soul of all of my secrets, but I don't. If I only felt that I had the guts of this young lady to reveal some of my secrets.

I look up to her really. I give her a lot of credit. Credit I feel she deserves. What courage she had to reveal her secret job. I think if we all could just start with relieving one secret we would be much happier people.
