Having LGBTQ family members has been a unique and priceless gift.
Because of this GIFT, I have learned many things.
I have learned about the nature of GOD
I have learned how to move faster through my upset- no matter who or what it is focused on.
I have learned to forgive others and their misunderstanding of the divinity of LGBTQ people.
I have seen endless tender mercies given to our family as we were/are figuring out how an LGBTQ family works and fits within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
I have no doubt my family is an Eternal Family.
I have learned to have more compassion, curiosity, mercy and grace for my neighbors, leaders, and myself.
Moving from my black and white faith into a more nuanced faith has brought me many blessings.
So how did I get here? I had to work for it. I had to Ask. I had to Pray. I had to Study. But it was worth it. I feel closer to my Jesus and His plan and to the relationships in my life than ever before.
