I Just Discovered Your Blog & I Love It! C: (I Have A Christian/folky Witch Blog Called Rafaela-a-bruxa).

I just discovered your blog & I love it! c: (I have a Christian/folky witch blog called rafaela-a-bruxa). Admittedly, I recently been struggling w/ my faith in the context of LGBTQIA+ (I am an ally & fully support LGBTQIA+ rights. But all the Christians around me & church are against it (unfortunately I'm surrounded by evangelicalism too..which sucks even more). As a gay Christian, can I ask how you blend both your faith and identity? (Feel free to message me if you wish).

Apologies for being late in getting to this ask but hiiii

I’ve put a few posts up re: clobber passages and how I resolve scriptural tensions if that’s what you mean (just look up “clobber passages”, “Leviticus” or “Romans” and they should pop up)

As for a more regular living sense, I kinda just have found a place where both flow very naturally from the same place for me. God is Love, and has called me to love in a particular way. God does not embody gender in a human way, and has called me into proximity with him by calling me in a similar way. I view my queerness as a vocation to which I am called the same as any other vocation—something I am honored to live and participate in and celebrate, despite hardships which may come my way or communal responses to it. It’s definitely hard when you don’t have people around you who understand, which is why I encourage seeking out community wherever possible, including across traditions and demographics, but I also hold that my queerness is spiritual and part of me and thus I am able to honor it faithfully even if it’s just me on my own thanking God for the fact that I was made a lesbian and am capable of loving others in a lesbian way (romantically, yes, as with my wonderful girlfriend, but also in the sense that being queer transforms your relationship with all forms of love including platonic).

“Spirituality on the other hand, is a chosen path of developing intimate relationships with God. It’s chosen, it’s nurtured, and it’s optional.” Caroline Myss

“The process of opening up is essential to any notion of a spiritual life. You open and open again. And then you open again. To love. To friendship. To teachers and learning. To safety. To new experience. To growth and to change. To the reality of your life and your place in the world. To changing the story of your life, if necessary. To trust. To faith. To intimacy. To responsibility. Opening of the hearts, juman and animal.” -Jon Katz . . . . . . #mylifeinbaja #getoutside #rewild #rewildyourlife #adventure #horse #horsesbyjose #bajacalifornia #beherenow (at La Mision, Baja California, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAigfpPs1P/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
