Dear Anita, this is truly awesome. I am having a very trying time with a few things lately and there was a small incident that happened earlier today…..this made me go back to my old way of thinking……Just because I am starting to accept myself as a lesbian, God is punishing me with every little thing as well going wrong……….and then I come accross this post of yours for the first time. what can I say? God is speaking to me through you. some of these very questions I was wrestling with earlier today………Lord I want a breakthrough in my life, Lord I need your blessing…..why are’nt you blessing me? is it because I am now accepting myself as a homosexual. a series of events have happened since jan this year which has turned my world upside down and dealing with my sexuality is only one of them…….So when you said God initiated the struggle, it just rings true in my situation. Things outside of my control have happened which has made me question so many aspects of my life……….and each day I feel my faith is bing stretched…..I have had no option in these circumstances but to rely on God …….So everything in this post rings true for me at the moment………however I am still in the midst of the struggle with everthing and the ending that you have mentioned………gives me such hope. Thank you I really really needed it TODAY. God bless you.

I like what you said, Janet about ‘only God can judge me now’.
It also makes me think that this whole passage is about judgement. You have said so much here, Anita, and given me way more then I can digest in one read. I think this is where I need to stop taking in more info for the day and really give this contemplation. I have never really ‘got’ why God and Jacob experienced this situation. but it does seem that Jacob might have had something deep in the fabric of himself that needed a greater reality then the world was giving.. I have to think about this and come back and read it again.
I really appreciate the time you have taken to put this together.

Awesome Analogy!!! I was truly inspired by this story. I too have struggled with how can I be a person of faith, and still love women. I know that this is natural for me but “the church” says I’m wrong!!! So what do I do fall in love with a man??? Wel if it were possible for me I guess I would, but I know that I know that I love women and I think that my struggle is at its end. I am 99.8 % sure that this is Gods will for my life- lesbian and proud to be!! If anyone has faith it is me!!! But I have always been a no games type of person!! there is no future in frontin’!! I am like King David my heart is pure toward God, I reverance His holy spirit in my life and no one can tell me that He does not abide with me!! So for all those who think He doesnt because I love women………. I say to hell with them, ONLY God can judge me now!!
