My HH (Heavenly Husband) has blessed me with something I prayed for so long for. He has provided an opportunity for me to take responsibility, confess my terrible ways and ask forgiveness from my siblings for my faults.
Me, my sisters and some of my nieces went out to lunch and pedicures the week before our nieces wedding. One of my sisters had said this to me recently but brought it up again with everyone, that her kids (young adults) have been letting her know she sounds very harsh with her words, with her facial expressions, her attitude towards everyone and complaining a lot. She said she doesn’t mean to, that’s just the way she is. We listened and some made comments. I only said—the truth is that’s not who you are. Many were talking and I left it at that and listened.
The next day I sent a message to the group adding to what we talked about. This is what I wrote:
“Yesterday we spoke about ourselves and I want to add to it. Sister, I feel you are lucky to have your girls be honest with you and bring to your attention what they hear you saying and see you doing. I want to confess that I was a terrible person and I didn’t even know it. It took God to get my attention. It was painful to see that I was not the person I thought I was. I was a contentious, argumentative, unforgiving, controlling, loud, self-righteous, rude, bitter and unhappy person. It showed in my face, words, actions and attitude. I was disobedient and unfaithful to God’s Word. I didn’t know how to love Him, myself or anyone else the right way and that’s how my life fell apart.
But praise God that is not who we are and not who He made us women to be. The Lord was gracious enough to show me through His Word and the help of the Wise Woman book. He removes all of my ugly worldly traits layer by layer, and replaces them with fruits of the spirit; love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. When I started to know Him, His Word and start to do things His way, with Him, instead of my own way that’s when He renewed my heart and my life. He always begins by working from the inside out, the "hidden person of the heart."
During this journey, which will last for a lifetime, I found something I never had before, a real relationship with the Lord, my life completely changed. Things that used to matter to me no longer mattered. I want to live to please Him and do the things He called me to do. I know that this is a lifelong journey and I thank and love the Lord with all my heart. 
It’s a painful yet beautiful thing when the Lord shows us things that we did not know. So I hope you all can forgive me for not being a good sister, aunt, woman, mother, wife, daughter in the past that I should’ve been and worse of all I displayed this horrible way to my children and yours too. For this I am truly sorry.
Praise be the Lord Christ for His forgiveness, mercy, healing, faithfulness and unconditional love He continues to always give us.

My sisters and nieces sent back very caring responses especially from another sister that also admitted that she is also working on herself and had realized her behavior recently and she was trying to learn her role in life as a woman.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, My Love for this opportunity to talk to them about this and talk to them about You!! I feel so much better and so free!!! \o/
I feel like I was keeping a secret love affair because I haven’t talked about You to my siblings as much I wanted to. I felt they would think I’m crazy and fake. But now I feel like I had to tell them that I have met Someone and I’m in love!! 
Ladies, after I sent the message I said out loud, but only to myself—There I said it!! Now you all know!! I don’t care who knows and I’m not ashamed!! Lol 
This was kinda funny and also so freeing. I was serious and laughing and full of joy all at the same time. Now our relationship is out in the open. When they asked me if I was going to move on and find someone I said I don’t need anyone to move on. I have all I need, all I want and now they know why. 
I’m forgiven and have been set free. I felt like I don’t have to hide anymore. I don’t have to hide the truth. I don’t have to hide who I am and Who The Love Of My Life is. I’m free to live for Him, free to love, free to forgive, free to speak, free to be His Bride! \o/
