To follow Him, He is talking to me; I must be ready to live without the relationships which mean the most to me. Gay people in the churches often need to defend our right to pursue intimate friendships. You guys know that I am a firm believer in friendship as a form of love, a form of kinship, a vocation as true and rich...

My Journey: Taking off the mask
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2015/02/taking-off-mask.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. Taking off the mask. It is more than a physical weariness, though there is that. It is also emotional. I'm tired of dealing with attractions to men and feeling that I'll never measure up to other guys. I'm weary of caving so often to porn, yet it seems to give more comfort than God does. I'm weary of serving a God who is so distant and doesn't seem to care what I am dealing with. I'm scared I will get sick and won't be able to work, and end up on the street. I can't believe C...

My Journey: July 2015
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 18, 2015. I felt no sense of accomplishment, only frustration that it was difficult and took a long time. Doing the "manly" thing made me frustrated and brought feelings of inadequacy up inside of me. I felt less of a man for having a difficult time and it taking me so long, yet doing something in the kitchen made me proud and I felt good about myself. But what is "manly" stuff? Links to this post. Sunday, July 12, 2015. When I started this blog, I was still very much in the closet about m...

My Journey: April 2015
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2015. My worst day ever. Names have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent. Back around the year 2000, I ran onto information about the Big Brother/Big Sister Association. Some may think it was a bad idea for me to get involved, since I struggle with same-sex attractions, but I was not attracted to boys, and I wanted some boy who had no dad to have someone to care in his life, so I signed up. What if my brother-law finds out and doesn't allow me around my nieces? I called the ...

My Journey: Just give it up
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2015/01/just-give-it-up.html
Friday, January 9, 2015. Just give it up. I just watched The Lord of the Rings Movies. All three of them in one week, and the second and third in one evening. I had watched the first about 10 years ago, but had forgotten most of it. They are my best friend's favorite movies and he is always raving about them, so I decided to give them a try. My immediate thoughts:. 1) The movies are long. Really long. I didn't think the third one would ever end. 2) There sure is a lot of fighting in the movies. I am a Ch...

My Journey: May 2014
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 23, 2014. Answers to prayer and progress. This should be a lesson to me. I have been fretting and worrying about it for a few weeks, even though I have been praying about it. If I'd have called him sooner, it would most likely have cut that worrying and fretting out. Links to this post. Saturday, May 10, 2014. I believe that was God already working on me. I was making a lot of progress in my search to believe in God's love, and at the same time I was making progress, I started to lose int...

My Journey: An overdue post
http://myjourney-struggler.blogspot.com/2015/07/an-overdue-post.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. When I started this blog, I was still very much in the closet about my struggles and didn't have many people to talk to about it. Much has changed since I first blogged on here. I have a great network of people to talk to about it who are where I am at and many are blazing the trail ahead of me. If you read this blog, thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings. If you also struggle with SSA, I hope that something I have posted or shared helps and encourages you in some way.
