This blog is about being open. Being honest. This is to bring to light myself, to show you that I may not be who you think I am, and that life isn't always what you'd expect it to be. My life has been chaotic, confusing, and at some points, complete and total hell. Everyone goes thru hard times, and everyone goes thru good times. This blog will be about all of these for me. But this is an introduction.
This is a simplified version of myself, a version for those who need to know me, and those who don't know me at all.
First of all, I am a Christian. God has created my life around the idea of love and non judgement. I am purely a lover, not a fighter, unless it is necessary. I get along with everyone, and love people unconditionally. But I'm finding that balance between loving people, and still having them realize I'm not a force to be reckoned with.
Despite the fact that I get nervous when it comes to confrontation, I know where I stand. I come across as insecure and unconfident, and there's a reason for that, but I know what I stand for and what I believe.
Secondly, I am gay. And this is where I lose readers and respect.
This is not something I chose, despite what most Christians believe. They'll argue for days about how it's a choice. They assume it is, because they've grown to believe that the bible says its wrong.
The point is, I'm a gay Christian, and I love who I am. God created me to be strong and to lead people. He made me gay because its a huge connector for a largely disregarded group of people in the Christian culture. I believe that I am who I am for a reason, and even tho many people will not agree with me, or understand how that's possible, it is.
God is bigger than the box we've put him into. He truly loves everyone, and gay people are not the exception.
So there you go. You know who I am. I still have a big heart, no matter how weak it may be at times. I am always going to love people unconditionally, because we are called to.
Because its who I am.
