One mother and wife's attempt to reconcile her faith, her femininity and her independence. I have it all, now what do I do with it?
I am a mother of two boys. I am a recovering lawyer and a wife. I am a Christian and some would consider me a liberal. I usually vote Democrat.
I am part of a unique generation of women who are living in the implications of feminism. We've been told all our lives that we could have it all, so we got it all, and now we don't know what to do with it. This is part of my attempt to make sense of that. If you want to read about what started this all, here is my first post.

Wow. That was great.
here, here.
Dear Fellow Christian,
Please do not take offense to this but the Lord has brought me here for a reason.Please read your bible.
In the video he made a comment about the heart. This is what the bible says.
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jer.17:9
"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man." Matt.15:18
"The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."Psalms 14:1
This is what the Lord says about homosexuality.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." Leviticus 18:22
" Ye shall therefore keep my statues and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations have men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled); That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your GOD." Lev. 26-30
(Sorry so long but God's word is good, isn't it?)
God is the same today, yesterday and will stay the same tomorrow. His word is never-changing. If God said thousands of year ago, men laying men or women laying with women is an abomination unto Him. Then it still is today.
But as a Christian you should know this. Don't you?
Jesus says in Matt. 7:21 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven"
Examine your heart. Is it doing the will of self or the will of the our Father?
In His Love,

So there's a lot of rules in Leviticus, huh? Lots about sex, lots about clothing, lots about haircuts and farming. I'm always curious why we get to pick one of the rules and uphold it and not another. I'm always curious why we, as Christians, can't uphold love as the highest moral ground, why we consider judgment so much higher. Why we suspect that even though we can love someone who is gay and accept them as a whole person somehow God can't. And don't pull that hate the sin not the sinner crap. We are a contextual people. I am the coffee I'm drinking right now as well as the love I have for my daughter. I don't believe Christianity is all judgment and damnation. I think we underestimate God's desire for us to be happy, healthy individuals who treat His other children with the respect, love and fairness that they deserve.
I appreciate and love dearly my gay and lesbian friends and wish them the opportunity to be in a marriage covenant recognized by the law. They deserve that chance. And I'm very glad my Christianity has room for all of us.
Yes your right it does have a lot of "rules" but if you look at it God has reasons for all those rules. If your Christianity has room for everybody then how come God is not going to let everyone into His kingdom? Yes, the Lord does care for all His children (every life He has created) deeply with a love we cannot even begin to understand. But God did not create for men and women to be gay. If He did it would say so in His word and it says the complete opposite.
I wish you well. Someday we all will know the Truth. My heart just aches for the ones that are blind. You see because I was once blind. I was in darkness and didn't even know. I did have relationships with women. That was such a long time ago. But now that I know that Jesus Christ has truly came into my life and has changed me. I see the darkness that tries to blind us.I will keep on praying.
In His Love,
Ingrid
