It's so brave of you to speak so openly. I say that because I am a very private individual and protective of myself from vulnerabilities. Some might say I'm cold, insensitive or closed-off, but I feel very deeply and I drive myself crazy with analytical thought. My point is, thank you for being a person willing to share. That's what makes you amazing to me.Renhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769020121134086286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149863372348528498.post-33634077736617081622016-02-19T10:22:00.768-07:002016-02-19T10:22:00.768-07:00It ain't cool when life sends you many obstacl...It ain't cool when life sends you many obstacles at once.

I cannot judge another, because I know that I walk imperfectly. In everyone's heart is hidden sorrow that the eye can't see. You are on the path to learn that forgiving yourself and others brings great peace. Hang in there.

I feel for you, Nate. Things are going to be okay, because you are great! I, like you have some similar - and some different - adversities. My wife suggested that I listen to Elder Eyring and his talk in the April 2009 conference. I just listened to it and it helps me. Maybe it will help you too.<br /><br />I am see lots of jobs that you are very qualified for, while I also search for my next job. Let me know if I can help you in any way.<br /><br />Now my 9:27 post might make more sense.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368775925346480215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149863372348528498.post-27845282119390334932016-02-18T09:27:04.372-07:002016-02-18T09:27:04.372-07:00Now I am listening to Elder Christofferson from th...Now I am listening to Elder Christofferson from the same conference.

Sorry to swear but I call bullshit. If the tables were turned, I highly doubt this person would choose loneliness and celibacy or a life condemned to someone you'll never be attracted to or be able to truly love in every sense of the word. Shame on them. I call them to repentance for acting like they are as powerful as God and have the right to pass such judgment. Frankly, it's none of their damn business what happens in your bedroom. <br /><br />I applaud you for keeping your personal relationship with God because that is what truly matters. You are a wonderful, kind, generous and exceptional human being. God would never deny heavenly membership to someone like you who has lived so faithfully and true.<br /><br />You do you Nate. You're on the right track and sometimes you just gotta' stop worrying about what ignorant, Judgy McJudgerson family members say or think about your life. <br /><br />I'm the HR Director for my company. Get me your resume and I'll see if we might have a good fit for you. IM me on Facebook and I'll send you my work email. <br /><br />You gonna' be OK son! Hang in there. What you are doing IS helping people going through similar painful experiences...the ones trying to reconcile who they are and how they feel about a church they love but doesn't love them back. I bet you've given a lot of hope to people considering suicide as the only way to deal with their sexually and their religion. There's hope and you're living, breathing proof!MaudeL75https://www.blogger.com/profile/02010500243047622251noreply@blogger.com
