The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

I wonder, what would you say to me if I contacted
Straightway.
Would you say that it is wrong with gender reassignment because God created my body in a certain way? What about my soul, did not God create my soul? Is my body more important than my soul? Does not the bible tell us that it what is in our harts that is of importance?
Or would you say that it is my marriage with a man that is my problem? That I am a man married to a man and that that is not acceptable? Do you mean that it would be better to separate the parents of three innocent children? Why do they deserve divorced parents? Or is my children a sin that keeps me from doing God's will? How can children be a problem? Not only are they not a problem, the
kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these!
What is Gods plan with me according to you?
Should I pray to God for a miraculous sex change of my soul? Would I even exist then? Would I be the same if my soul was female tomorrow? Would you be the same person if the same thing happened to
you and you woke up a woman tomorrow?
I honestly think God has made my miracle already. He gave us science and gifted doctors to help me so I can be as close as possible to the one I am.
I have gone to Him with my burdons and he gave me rest. I took His yoke and learned from Him instead of others and His promise came true. I found rest for my soul. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.
