One Step Closer

A Bit Of My Story

To be honest, I've kind of been trying to avoid this subject for a while because it is very strong and people these days have high opinions and get offended easily... Well, I'm sorry, because this is something that really needs to be discussed.

By now, I bet you can probably already guess what it is... Yep, homosexuality.

(Everything I am about to say is just my personal interpretation of what the Bible says about it. You may not agree with 100% of the things I say, but God didn't make us all with the same thoughts and opinions! But if you don't agree with something I say please [without any hate] tell me what you think and why because you could be right and maybe I just didn't see it!)

Okay, first off I want to say that homosexuality is a sin. There's no doubt about it! And it is just as bad as lying or stealing or adultery... They are all equally as bad in God's eyes! The human perception has gotten messed up over the years because we think that murdering someone is a thousand times worse of a sin than lying is, but in reality and in God's eyes, they are all equal and they are all a sin.

Whenever arguments on this topic come up, the person always says that being gay is not a choice, but let me tell you, it is a choice!

Having gay thoughts isn't a choice, but acting on them is. You weren't born and immediately thought "I like...[the same gender]!" so the "I was born this way" reasoning is false. If you are gay, you are gay, and that's not anyone's business but yours. Being that way wasn't something that was forced on you that you have no control over. You can control it!
Trust me, I know, and to prove that to you, here's part of my story that I really need you to hear:

Last year I had a really, really close friend and a few months after we became friends, I discovered that she was a lesbian. Yeah, bummer, but I didn't stop being friends with her because I thought maybe God can help me change her, buuut that's not how it went. Really, she ended up almost changing me!

We went to get our instruments from the band room one day and she called me over to look at something, or that's what I thought... She ended up kissing me on the cheek. I didn't know what to do or say so I pretty much just left. But the next week I started to think back on that and how I... I kind of liked it, so that girl almost had me thinking that I was gay!! I had gay thoughts but I learned to push them aside and focus on the truth—that I am not gay and I am a Christian I am a child of God and nothing, NOTHING can change me!!

(Now, just so you know, God has blessed me with an amazing boyfriend (going on 2 years together) and I know for sure who I am!)

So by all of that... I just want to say that you can change your thoughts and your ways! And really I'm not just talking about being a homosexual. It could be anything! Like an addiction or cutting yourself or a bad relationship with someone... Whatever it is! God can help you change and get better and back to the you that you need to be!

God bless you!☺
