So the UMC general conference is over…
They've decided that no same sex couples can be married through the church and no LGBTQA+ people can be pastorsThat's basically discrimination. I'm sorry.
Well it is discrimination. They decided that their religious views force them to discriminate between straight and lgbt people.
hey guys, Id encourage you all to look at queerchristianaffirmations on tumblr today! They're being so encouraging and posting so many positive things. If you're having a hard time seeing the good in what has happened, I recommend you go look at all the stuff on their page, it's so uplifting and positive.
I want to share an encouraging passage that was read last night at my Christian school's LGBT+ club: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. I hope you take the time to read the whole passage, but either way I want to share with you the few verses from that passage that felt so very powerful last night as I sat in that room, doubting my own value. 1Corinthians 22-25, "It is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary; and those members of the body which we deem less honourable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same love for one another."
That is powerful.
Hey guys…I could really use some prayer right now. I have had a paranoia attack. See, my mom lost her mom to a car crash when she was in high school or college…I don't remember which. Anyway, I started to feel bad this morning and there have been so many signs (at least that's what they seem like) and I'm afraid that's gonna happen to me. Please pray that it doesn't or if it does, that I will receive the needed comfort.
That's awful… I'll keep you in my prayers tonight.

Thank you. I'm really freaked out, but luckily school kinda distracts me if only for a few moments.

What the actual pancakes. This is pancaking ridiculous! iF MY UNCLE (he’s gay) WANTS TO HAVE A CHRUCH WEDDING THEN HE SHOULD HAVE A CHRUCH WEDDING PANCAKES!
…………………..pancakes?
…………………..pancakes?
I started this weird thing where instead of cursing, I’d use either the English or Japanese word for “pancake”, so she’s referencing that because this is technically a good, Christian server
Pancake = censored swear words
Oh cool!
Pancake = censored swear words
LOL

I'm sorry. I know that I'm late on this, but I'll pray for you anyway.
Same here.
Guess who's brothers got sick so now I can't go to church tomorrow? Mine… Yaaaay
oh no :(
Hey guys. My friend could really use some prayer right now, he's going through a rough time and I'm really worried about him. He's one of my best friends and I can't stand it when he gets like this. Please pray that he doesn't hurt himself, stare at a wall all day, or runaway, or anything else stupid. I really care about him and I just want him to be happy and safe and to know that he has a home with us (our friend group).
I'm praying for him now. Hope everything turns out alright
Thank you so much
💛

I'll keep him and you in my prayers. I'm so sorry about that. It's hard for both of you.

I know how that feels. I couldn't go to church either because my illness took a bad turn the night before.

Hope you're not down for long. It can be difficult to catch up on school when out for a while…much less a single day (at least for me).
