“your lesbian, gay, bi-, transgender, transsexual, trans-masculine, trans-feminine, trans*, queer, questioning, doubting, hungering, sexual, asexual, afraid-of-sex, indulging-in-sex, and more”

I love that you included doubting in a list of sexual orientation and sexual issues like afraid to have sex. Around here, doubting is treated like leporacy. But questions and doubts are all part of the same journey to discover who God made you to be and his plans for your life.

I do believe God loes us for who we are in this moment… Not for what we’ve done in the past or for what we will or will not do in the future. He made us. Everything God created is good. That took me a long time to understand, at least when I pointed the mirror at myself. When I became a mother, I finally understood.

I often ask those small-minded people who close doors on God’s grace to look at their kids. Would you love your son if (fill in the blank for today’s judging grace plus moment). They always say yes. I follow it with, “then why wouldn’t God, whose love is deeper than we could ever imagine?”

Not surprisingly, I usually get silence. I never get a good answer.
