| Message | Hello Bryce--I truly hope you are happy and surrounded by friends, family and loved ones wherever you are. I too come from a very conservative family in TX. Though not totally comfortable with by homosexuality, there are accepting and, most of all, very loving and supportive. I struggled with being gay all through college, suffering so much that I dropped out. Depression engulfed me and I felt worthless, and considered suicide. After praying more that I thought possible, I believe with all my heart that God told me that I'm okay. He wants me to live my life following his Son's teachings, and not dwell on things I cannot control, like being gay. I now know I have a place in heaven when the Lord calls me, as long as I live my life in keeping God's will. Only you and God know what is in your heart, not your parents, siblings, ministers or friends. Being untrue to yourself would be an abomination in God's eyes, not to mention make your life hell. Think about what your heart wants; pray about it. Please do not forsake yourself to make others happy. Live your life as your heart and soul tell you, pray for forgiveness of sin and you will walk the streets of heaven when God sees fit to bring you home. I pray you will stand up for yourself and have the courage to live your own life. God Bless You Bryce! |
