Supporting the "Gay" community

To the ones that spread hatred towards the LGBT community. 

I support anyone involved within the community. I also despise those spread hatred. So, here's my Insight and thoughts on the subject  from a non-gay white girl perspective. 

-Don't be afraid of what others think. 

-Our higher power made you who you are today. (not sure if you are Christian so please don't take offense) 

Embrace that. 

-It takes courage to stand up and reveal that you are a Homosexual, bisexual, transgender, lesbian ect. 

-You are very courageous in many ways. 

-Be unique. 

-Be yourself. 

-Don't let others take away your happiness. 

-If your neighbors, "friends", co-workers, family ect. interfere, call the police. 

-Your personal business is not their business and vice versa. You have rights. 

Here is a simple remedy to alleviate your stressors. 

-I would do is type a letter to said individual using verbiage below. 

Dear (name):

As you may know, I am a LGBT individual. My boyfriend, husband, girlfriend, wife,  significant other is As well. 

Please be aware of this, as you continue to berate me, discriminate against me, destroy my property and attempt to humiliate me. I have rights as an American citizen, I am free to love whom I choose, as well as being entitled to freedom of speech. 

 If you insist upon making a mockery of yourself, please exit my life, move, or talk to the wall. As these negative and hate-filled comments are discriminating and hurt me, which I am sure is your purpose. 

I do not appreciate your negativity and hatred towards me and the community I am currently involved within. 

I'm certain, you hold skeletons in your closet or secrets as well. 

I was brave enough to reveal mine. 

Your continued harassment and guile will not be tolerated and I will be forced to file legal charges against you if it continues. 

"Those without sin, cast the first stone."

Wishing Happiness, peace and love

Namasté 

Your horrible gay neighbor.

Good things come to those who wait.

Have you ever had one of those days, where you feel like the world is crashing, you can't find your balance and emotions run through your mind like birds flying south for the winter?

I have.

Numerous times. 

Lean on God. 

Ask for guidance. 

December 23, 2015:

I read Proverbs 23. 

Throughout the chapter I learned to give it to God, there is a lesson in this. Learning to give it to God. 

I am a fixer. I want things done on my own time. When I want them done. 

After reading this passage, I was completely amazed at the ignorance of me, I was amazed that regardless of what I am going through, God always has a plan.

I have been told to give my problems to God many times, to ask for guidance and open my heart. OK, I listen to pretty much every other word of what people say. Because well, my brain functions in this order:

what did I forget, let me look for _______ maybe it's outside.. Aw, how cute look at that squirrel, maybe I should make him a treat, What did I come outside for? I guess I'll feed the animals, we need more food, maybe I should make some more treats for the dogs, and the squirrels, what did I come out here for? Oh, yea my address book ( I walk to my car, slip and I fall, getting my clothing covered in mud. ) crap, I need to do laundry anyway. ( my car is locked) crap, need to go inside to get he keys, I may as well start a load of laundry, crap we are out of laundry soap, I need to run to the store to get more, wait I think I have a coupon for that, let me look.....

On December 23rd, I was feeling lost. 

I needed my feet on the ground and brain less filled with negativity. 

With my mind filled with "things to do" I decided it would be best to do a quick bible study. 

I opened up my Bible and turned directly to Proverbs 23. 

(31 chapters in the book of Proverbs, 28-31 days in a month coincidental? I think not.)

I was so emotionally drained and the problems within me, are fixable. I just needed mental clarity, a path, a sign.... Anything. 

After reading this specific chapter, I was amazed. I felt relieved and healed. Everything started to make sense. 

God is good. Everyday. God is good. 

Here's a list of my favorites for the 23rd. 

Proverbs:

4:"Do not wear yourself out to get rich;have the wisdom to show restraint."

9:"Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words."

18: "There is surely a future for you, and your hope will not be cut off."

19:"Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path."

29: "Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints?"

I also learned a very helpful prayer. This will become part of me. When I am anxious, worried, filled with self doubt or a situation beyond my control, (ultimately we cannot control any situation)

 I have decided this will be my go to prayer:

"Dear Heavenly Father,

Jesus stand beside me. 

Guide and direct my life. 

Teach me what I need to know. 

Help me with my work. 

Let me serve you and others, that I may be worthy of God's grace. Amen"

I'm not what one would call a "bible thump-er" nor do I push my beliefs on others. 

I'm a Christian, I do not attend church regularly because of my insecurities and past shuns. 

Alas, I am a believer. 

I believe there is a God, I believe in angels and I believe that everything happens for some reason or another. 

Everyone has a path, in one way or another we can change our path based on free-will. 

I also believe that God would never harm another just open the eyes of the sinner and point them in the right direction. 

Whether or not that person chooses to listen is on them. (Free-will)

I have Christian friends, friends that study Hinduism, atheist friends, friends that believe in evolution etc etc. 

Each have their own reasoning and believe what that wish due to whatever reasons. I admire that. 

Everyone needs something to look forward too. To lean on in times of need. 

My prayer is for those that do not have a higher power. 

Blessed are those that do not believe, blessed are those that hurt, blessed are those that are lost. 

Much love,

Danal the mom.
