Admin	food for thought Posted : 2 Feb, 2010 08:43 AM In my class at school is a young woman.We were to excange are rough drafts to read andgive grammer advice.Her's was called "coming out". It was a confession of why she was gay. I read this and looked at her and knew she was a very unhappy person. I had not noticed her before in class. I wonder what chance I could get to tell her about Jesus. I must be carefull as I have never delt with a gay person close up. Post Reply
View Profile History	food for thought Posted : 9 Feb, 2010 11:16 PM I recently got reconnected with an old friend from my college days. She had located me through good ole Facebook We went to a Catholic college. We got along famously, always and joking around. We were never an "item" as I was in love with another girl, and she was dating somebody else from the school. I would later sing at their wedding shortly after graduations. When I first saw her facebook page, I noticed that the face of the man with her in her pictures was not that of the one she married. Obviously, times had changed in the twenty five years since seeing each other. When we finally managed to get around to a phone call to catch up, the obvious question came up as to what happened.... "Basically, I messed up. I had everything I could possibly have. The husband got a job with a bank, moved his way up the corporate ladder...... we built a six thousand square foot house and I had four kids. But for some reason... I wasn't happy. But that was MY fault... not his. I was believing everything around me as to what the world was telling me I should have in order to BE happy. I started taking it out on the ex......." Here's where my jaw dropped.... "I eventually left him for.......another woman. I left my kids, everything... I stayed in that relationship for about eight months until I realized I WASN'T actually a lesbian. I was just mad at men. But when I tried to leave the relationship, the woman started stalking me and it turned into a big mess. By now, my ex was not talking to me and did everything he could to keep the kids away from me.... It took several years for me to repair everything between my kids... I eventually got together with a man I grew up with in high school. We now have a business together and the relationship with my kids has at least gone back to something of normalcy...." The message on this is this..... You will do little good going in to try to 'save' this girl for now. "Hell hath no fury....." is even worse amongst bitter, angry, women who become fashionable lesbians. The world promotes it... It is THE IN THING now. Unless you want to have Gay rights groups, N.O.W., and every woman's rights advocacy group pounding on your door making your life miserable and giving you threats on your very life for being a 'narrow minded, bigoted Christian'..... you might just want to stick to praying for her and let God take the time to work on her own misandric heart as it took time for my friend to finally come to her senses. This girl is trying to make a "statement of identity".....because that's all she has to go on for now. Stating she has "come out" presents an element of "shock and awe" that she would not otherwise get for just being a "plain old heterosexual woman". Don't forget.... you are in a college atmosphere. It wouldn't surprise me if you're also battling quite a few militant feminist professors who also teach "women's studies" classes on the side to also promote the agenda. Pray for her.... and just let her find it out for herself..... peace Post Reply

Zelabat View Profile History	food for thought Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 07:05 PM You've been advised to wait, wait, then wait some more... I have no advice other than what we read in 2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season..." You've probably heard the saying 'Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary.' in season: literally 'favorable' i.e. when it's convenient, without hindrances out of season: literally 'unfavorable' i.e. when it's not convenient, when there is possibility of discouragement or embarrassment Even if this is simply a shock attempt for attention by this young lady, it doesn't negate the needs that she has. It isn't necessarily wrong to give attention to a person who is seeking it in inappropriate ways. Shine on, brother. Z Post Reply
