What about church?

Man, I hate hypocrites. As I have said before, I grew up in church. I grew up with those saying you have to wear a skirt all the time and you can not listen to any kind of music beside hymns. I even had a preacher preach against divorce all the time from the pulpit, just to end up getting divorced and splitting his church. I even have Christian friends who have preached that “divorce is a sin” and “drinking is a sin” but now that they are older are divorced and drink a glass of wine every night, “it is not a sin anymore.”

Oh, but those same people think that loving someone of the same gender is still a sin. I swear people these days pick and choose what is and what is not a sin, and that’s wrong. Not only does it portray hypocrisy but pushes non-believers away. I hate that there are people out there who want to follow and have a relationship with Christ but are judged because they love a girl/guy. How can we judge others when that is NOT our job! Our job is to share Jesus to others, right? Why are we making it hard?

For those of you who believe in the Lord and still struggle with this whole thing… that is OK! It is only between YOU and the creator of this world, no one else. There is no rush, there is no judgement! (Well, there shouldn’t be). Just as I had to come to terms with it, so will you. Everyone is different and believes differently. Everyone has their own relationships. I had to really think about WHY I loved who I loved. I am not saying I hate men. I don’t! I respect all humans and all genders, and everyone has their own opinions life, who am I to judge anyone. I have dated guys before, I have even had sex with a guy before. (ohhh man I said it!) I just don’t want to live that way. I do not want to be with a guy just because that is the “traditional” way, or someone said, “I have to.”

Life is way too short to please others and the sooner you learn that in life the happier you will be. In my opinion, as long as I am striving to be who God wants me to be, and as long as I am trying to have a relationship with Him, what else matters? Kayla and I go to this awesome church on Sundays. We praise the Lord in song and then listen to the message. After the message, a lot of the time, we talk about it and discuss how we can better and how our lives can change for the better. There is ALWAYS room to grow. We are not perfect! We both have anger problems, she has control issues, and I have trust issues. Only God can really help us with those things, and we know that! We only have one life, why “fake it till you make it” if you can “love it and live it?”
