I am gathering courage to come out to my DG gals. I forgot to mention that I came out to my DGL last Friday. She's really kind and nice about it. I know why I look up to her so much. She asked me to pray for her too because she is at crossroads now in regards to her place in ministry and which course of study to take. I pray that her new ministry would be LGBT related. Maybe she can come and lead PLUSH. I have gained plentiful from her. Just a random thought and am going to make it a prayer.
I reckon DG is a good place to start coming out to because of the time spent with them weekly for the past few years. But my pastor's wife did tell me not to share my views on reconciling my sexuality and faith with anyone so they won't be stumbled. This calls for more prayer for wisdom and discernment.
How do we create authentic relationships with others when we can't be real with them; when they do not know the people special in our lives and how and where we spend time in ministry?
