I really hope that you find peace on this journey to find yourself. You are not alone. Not now, not ever. Reach out. The whole world is waiting.<br /><br />daemondaemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153553633523797522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191814566134809079.post-73776527747359026142011-09-01T17:18:33.896-05:002011-09-01T17:18:33.896-05:00You have communicated much of what I am feeling ri...You have communicated much of what I am feeling right now. I'm a gay christian too, however, I am still closeted. And I have been having much the same thoughts as you do. Its great to know that I am not alone and I wanted you to know that you are not alone either!!

I really appreciate your willingness to take a risk to be authentic and put it all out there! I know that's always a little bit scary no matter what but sometimes I think doing it in writting on the internet about topics as personal as your faith and sexuality are even more daunting. I don't know that I have a ton of advice for you, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone! <br /><br />I am pleasantly surprised to hear your pastor say "I don't know" when asked about homosexuality. I understand how this could be frustrating, but on the other hand I think one of the major problems we have in the Chruch with this issue is that many people think they have the definitive answer. I think it's totally normal and understandable that you're having a hard time figuring out exactly what you believe about all of this stuff. We live in a culture that has about a thousand different ideas about whats right and whats wrong and if you can be gay and christian and if you can change and blah blah blah...<br /><br />One scripture I have personally found encouraging in the midst of my own conflict with my faith and sexuality is Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding! Quite frankly that's all I can do sometimes... Just trust that He is bigger than all of this mess and that He is doing what He wants with me in His good timing!<br /><br />May God's grace and peace cover you from head to toe my brother!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
