Let it be known.

So many people around me polarize my views on life and the world but here they are just so you can know.

I do not condone homosexuality in any way or form. I don't support gay lifestyles and don't like their influence on others who do not lead the same life, yet choose to approve of their choice. I do not stand for this act and I never will. There is not one bit of me that thinks it's right, and I follow God's take on the entire issue. If gay marriage is legal, that's something I'm less against, because if it is illegal people are just going to find ways to get together anyways. Might as well let them have their legal freedoms now. I just do not support the entire aspect of homosexuality whatsoever, and nothing can sway me to think or live differently.

I am not politically active or into debates on world issues, social justice, etc-- honestly just is not my cup of tea. The fact that I am an idealist through and through admits me to maintain a simplistic, ideal, and divinely oriented outlook on life...combined with what I feel called to do. What I do not feel called to do, is be a radical missionary or an activist or an angry mob joinee or anything of the variety. I do not raise my voice about issues in this world today just because of the fact that no one will be able to accept or understand what I would have to say. The people I do confide in with my questions, concerns, opinions, and all intellectual and informative conversation are few and far between. They mostly consist of my family, and a handful of friends. These things are to be taken much more seriously and cautiously than blatantly and with flagrant disclosure, which is what most of my friends and people I know do. I do not agree with that way of going about this, but whatever rubs their back.


I am a very strong advocate of children of the Kingdom serving different goals and ministries to benefit God's glory, and that not everyone is called to serve Him in the same way. The whole street preaching, evangelizing, tongue babbling lifestyle I have been surrounded by for a few years now has taught me this. I serve God every day in the way I am discovering I was meant to. We need many jobs done of many varieties and shapes and colours, and the manufacturing and administering of these "assignments" to the masses should not be encouraged. I dream on.

I don't know where else to go with this. I just felt like being honest about a few things. I put a lot of thought towards these beliefs-- more than you could imagine. Time and time again I find a deeply rooted, obscured by cultural influence yet still present Truth to all of these things. One day I may be bold enough to share them with people without fear of being shunned or attacked. And if I am, may I be integral enough to stand my ground without a tremble of cowardice across my skin. Thank you for your understanding, to whoever may be reading this.
