First, I’m real happy about that an old good friend of ours is now going to be running their own youth center. I’m not really sure if they are going to be a branch of the other ministry they were involved with or are totally going out on their own.
So they’re going to be in town tomorrow, hope to visit with them, esp. since I don't care for the sermon topics this month at our home church. I ‘m not sure if they're going to talk about it from the pulpit or that we can just talk in person , either way they said they’d be there and to come by and they’d tell us more.I’d really like to support them in this, financially practically.
It would be cool if we could like go out there once a month, maybe even on the weekend (depending on how far in it is). It would be good not only for us but for our kids- to practice hands on ministry ..doing what they can…
Then yesterday my hubby told me about something and he wondered if it was a sign from God.
I mentioned to him before about how the next Call is going to be in CA. The main focus for this one is to pray for/about the homosexuals. Right away I felt that God wanted him to go (instead of me).
I do believe my husband really has an anointing to minister to the gay community esp. men. Not too many men in the Christian community feel this way. And it seems too they respond/open up/feel comfortable with him. Maybe it’s because of the confidence my husband has, who knows.. It’s just there.
He really has a heart for them to, we used to pray together for them, and then we were going out to "boys town" driving around praying for them and the community. I feel for them too, just not as much as my hubby (don’t have as strong a calling in that area). I do feel for them, and get along with the soft sensitive types- not the hip, vain snippy ones. I’ve had a couple good guy friends who had that problem.
As for the women… there is something rather repellent about lesbians. It’s like I can see & sense the lifelessness & emptiness and want to run a million miles away from that. Gives me the creeps.
It’s not that I don’t get what’s going on, in fact for sometime I was ministering online to different ones in that situation but .. It’s not like I can’t like them as individuals but that the parts there that don’t want to have anything to do with guys & if the part of them wanting to disconnect from their femininity those parts just irk me just are repellant (although I can put that out of my mind if need be).
As for bi, that’s different story. I really haven’t known many bi men. Maybe one guy who worked w/ my hubby and who started to like look to him- but then he took off to another state. From what I can tell they seem very insecure, vain, confused…
The women in that spot, I do feel for because unlike the others who have these one or two areas that are broken- bi women seem to just be “broken” in general.
Like I had this one friend that I became close with, she was a wild type, outgoing, fun, say & do anything, charming, a con etc a real trip.. She was/is also a very intellegent gal- IT expert,talented musician & singer,driven. We got along great (as much as we could me being a Christian and her falling away).She starting having marital & sexual issues.. Then she went back into clubbing & the gay lifestyle. Then we lost touch. When we met up again, we still could talk but she seemed much harder and narcissistic like, she had been living with her partner for some time but she was telling me at that point she was going to leave her because this gal didn’t want to go “higher up”/whatever with her, like my old friend wanted like this better lifestyle or something but her partner didn’t care. So I stilled cared about her but it just wasn’t the same.
I could feel those other parts in her now, real strong, and it made me feel more like I wanted more distance.
I have been trying to find them again (and their xhubby, who was also a trip, who I also pretty close to, who also was gay/bi) just to see what’s going on, and maybe share a good word/etc..
There are others that I know had issues, but as long as we didn’t “go there” things were cool (not right, but not going to drive me away). It’s soo sad (touching my main heart area now) these days how young people are encouraged to experiment and told everything’s Ok and harmless…so many confused…
It just seems it keeps getting harder and harder to be a teenager. I’m glad I did didn’t grow up with this generation- my time was hard enough. If I had all this internet stuff back then I would have been even worse & more messed up, I would have more easily gotten into trouble and hooked up with more and even more troubled people- I could have been one of those who meets someone online takes off and ends up raped or dead. I could have connected with some way-out occult group etc..
Lord have mercy on today’s kids & young people.
******* Hey, I got off on a trail and fogot to write about why I was writing on this topic anyway. This one guy started talking to my hubby on the bus and sharing his troubles about how he had an affair at his job with some married guy, and then the guy fired him.He was asking my husbands advice and my husband got the chance to witness to him. The guy also started crying...so I take it as something from The CAll, and anointing or something has dropped upon us. Then this week he got a chance to talk to this old friend of his/ours that we haven't seen in like 8 yrs. We kept wondering what happened to him. Actually my husband saw him 2 times this week (after nothing for 8 yrs.).
And then, tonight, my hubby went out of his way to help this one guy who needed to get back to his place in the suburbs- he hadn't done it like this in a while so I was very encouraged and hopeful about that. Praise God!!!
