So, I've recently spoken with a young man who has helped me better understand that people differ from each other. I've come to see more clearly that the path which has worked for me--that the Lord has prepared for me--is not the only path for other people. I still believe that true happiness is to be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Plan of Salvation--the Plan of Happiness--is designed to make us happy. I love that. I know that.
I also know that for some, the Lord's time-line is different. I am not saying that we just give up for this life and do whatever feels good. However, we all need to have an open heart and a willingness to do whatever we are prompted. Having the courage and strength to pursue those promptings faithfully in spite of difficulty. . . That's what we need the Savior for.
"This blog contains the thoughts and feelings of a 25 year old married Latter-Day Saint who is working to learn how to live a fulfilling life while dealing with his Same Sex Attraction." That was 8 years ago. In some ways, so much has changed since then; in other ways, nothing has. I may update this description, but for now, since most of the blog is from that time, I'll keep it.

We do each have our own journeys to make, and they are ours alone to take.
Love you brother.
"I've come to see more clearly that the path which has worked for me--that the Lord has prepared for me--is not the only path for other people." Such truth in those words!
