It occurred to me last night, at my youth church. Being a Christian and being gay is in many ways a normality for me; everyday I wake up a lesbian, and I wake up with a grounded belief in God.
As I think God intended for humanity to do, I often question these two conditions that make me who I am, both as separate issues and as a whole, present issue that I'm realizing quite a lot of people struggle with. There are so many questions and ideas that roll around my head each day; I've come a long way from where I used to be, but I'm still nowhere near close to understanding what on earth is going on with me and how homosexuality fits in with God's plans.
So why not write my thoughts and feelings down? At least it might be easier to make sense of things that way.
Now don't get me wrong; I'm 18 years old, I'm fully aware of my naivety of the world, and there are so many more things I don't know than do know. I'm not claiming to have any superior knowledge about anything I talk about, and honestly I'm already at quite a disadvantage here! Although I do have a bit of personal experience on my side.
Please forgive me and my thoughts if I get a little subjective; I'll try and leave that to the blog intended for splurging my adolescent emotions, but I can't make any promises. Just bear with me for a bit, until i get my bearings.
Here goes!
