I love my ex-church. I love my ex- cell group too. Why did I decide to move fully to FCC? At FCC, I could be authentic and share my stories with people I could be totally out to! I could be myself and not let anything come between me and God. I started by visiting FCC occasionally, then to straddling between both churches to finally settling at FCC.
That was my definition of being authentic then. But of course, like all things, we have to grow out of that dilemma of being gay and christian and move out of this area of sexuality and sexual orientation which seems to consume a large part of many lives.
Now, being authentic means simply to be who I am when no one's watching. To be authentic means to be the same person I am, to apply the same values and principles both in the absence or presence of people.
There is growth needed in this area, and perhaps an area to work on in 2013. Gambattte!
