Just hear me out
Hey, thanks for taking the time to check this out.
I’ve had some awesome things happen in my life to bring me to a point that I’m actually writing about them. If you knew me, you’d understand, this is so not me. Funny thing is, I can’t keep it in any longer. You’ve got to hear this! I know that we’re all in different places in our lives, but I’m positive that what I’m about to share with you will meet you right where you are. All I ask is that you don’t stop reading because you don’t agree with what I’m saying or you think it’s not relevant to your life right now or you’ve heard it all before or that it’s making you angry… that’s OK I was right there with you, I felt the same way once. Really. Just hear me out.
With all the “noise” in the world and in our individual lives these days, the need to keep busy and the insatiable hunger to be on top of all the new trends, technology and gossip, what’s really essential in life gets pushed aside because it’s not as tangible as clothes, relationships and anything else we see and get immediate gratification from. This is just a reminder that there is something more important then all those “things” we just can’t live without and for a lot of us, have never had the advantage of having it explained.
We’ve all had that moment in our lives that we’ve labeled as coming out, that time of acceptance, wanting others to embrace or at least acknowledge our personal acceptance of being gay. It’s survival. What else is there? I hope you stay with me and find out what I’ve experienced and continue to experience and the life changing CHOICE that I’ve made, that any of us can make. We don’t just have to “make the best of it” and accept everything that’s been handed to us… we all can experience and enjoy perfect love now!
Since I’ve made this choice, never once have I felt any form of condemnation or rejection, but patience, protection, faithfulness and encouragement. This love is truly perfect! Guys, fine, I’ll say it, but promise me you won't stop reading…
God doesn’t hate us!! Don’t stop reading, you’ve got to hear this!
BREATHE!!
He’s been with me when I thought I was making all the right decisions about my life, He was there even when I turned my back on Him and dropped the ball and failed miserably! Even when I procrastinated and thought I knew better. In fact, the reason I’m sharing this is for one reason only, I want you to know how all this feels.
Ok , the cat’s out of the proverbial backpack…
I’m talking about God. Not religion. God.
There’s a really big difference. This is still so amazing to me! I want to take all the human traditions and assumptions out of the equation and focus on my experience with Him. The only way I can explain all this is letting you hear who I am and what’s happened in my life…. who’d guess that God would listen and talk to a gay guy?
Hang in there with me and see what I’m talking about. It’s so amazing!!
