I would love in my lifetime for the church of my family and my upbringing to be fully affirming. We’re not there yet, but let the trend be our friend today. Let’s be happy with the progress, the open-mindedness, and the enlightenment (in my opinion), that’s happened. We will see what the future brings.
I made a conscious decision many years ago to celebrate every positive step made by my church, and not to become lost and distracted by things I didn’t understand or agree with.
What is important to me today is the knowledge that God, my Eternal Father, loves me as I am. I am sure that he was not the one who instructed church leaders to exclude the children of same-sex couples.
I am grateful for everything that has happened. Not because of some revelation, but because of the growth that I had to experience. My eyes were opened up to some truths and I saw my escape route. I have begun really finding myself, thinking freely, and separating dogma from my life.
Why do you keep me distant from you even as you speak of ministering with love?
We felt like the Church had turned its back on us. It’s frustrating to me for that reason that, while this change is positive, it didn’t come with an apology or action for change.
Talvez não deva ser uma coisa feliz, mas uma coisa menos triste que poderia simplesmente ter começado, “Nós cometemos um erro e sentimos muito”.
This reversal lets me know that there are so many things we do not know. We must just live to the best that we can and hope that the love of our Savior will make up for all of the unfairness we have had to endure.
É preciso que a gente entenda o momento de nossas vidas é buscar realizar uma coisa de cada vez, não podemos fazer ou querer que todas as coisas se resolvam todas ao mesmo tempo.
