My opportunity to share my journey out of the closet to being a liberated christian gay man. Some of my experiences I hope will help me express myself clearer, and perhaps help someone else.

Fear, trembling, and new paths ahead

I'm getting ready to move, to end a job, to get rid of most of my stuff,
and step into something new. And I don't know what it is. I'm trusting
i'll know...
Today I feature another song sung by John Legend (I am a fan) but also Alicia Keys. They sang this together at the tribute for the Beatles. There is significance to this song, in the words, "whispering words of wisdom Let it be" Do you have something in your life, your heart and mind today or this week you should just let it be?
Phil 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be known to God, and the peace of God which we cannot comprehend will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus our Lord"
My paraphrase, Worry about nothing, prayer instead and give it to the father, and ho do thoughe will give you peace. Another way of saying it...give it to God and let it be.
That is not always easy to do though. You just do it as much as you have to in order to let it be.
We were made to love, such a truism! Love is the most important thing in life. Love for God, he created love. Love of family, friends, love for a life partner. This is why I think marriage for same sex couples who wish to be married is so important. It is one of the greatest expressions of love on earth.
There seems to be a controversy around this song. Some say Meghan is bullying skinny girls. Personally I don't see it that way, the message I hear is everyone is attractive. So I featured this song today for that reason.
An appropriate Song for the Monday after Communion Sunday in many churches. May this song bless you and may it being featured on this blog honor Our God Most High!
On this Labor Day 2014, I hope your day is filled with satisfaction from the fruit of your labors. Be it a job, family, education achievements, or some other personal achievement.
This old hymn is very special to me, I was able to sing it as personal Worship during a very difficult time in my life. It was then and is now well with my soul. By the grace of God.
This hymn was written by Huratio Spafford over the spot where the ship his children were on sank and they were lost. What faith! What grace!
I love the line in this song, not sung here, but it says "My sin oh the bliss of that glorious thought my sin not in part but the whole is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more it is well, it is well with my soul"
