#coexist relationships

I’ve wanted to post here for a while, just haven’t had the words to say. Still probably don’t have the words to say. 

Six years ago I was dating a guy and we had our religious differences. No one was happy about it. Our friends weren’t happy about. The people who met us weren’t happy about it. No one was happy about it. 

However when we were together, it sure felt like life was perfect and that’s all that really mattered. It didn’t matter our faith we would figure it out. 

In the process of dating, we realized there were hypocritical people. I left a church that I had been attending for 15 years!!! I lost who I thought I could trust as a pastor who could be my mentor. I left a pastor who pretty much called us out in church and told us we were wrong for being friends, dating, etc and if it turned to marriage it was a downright work of Satan. I sat through that service. The pastor was never able to look at me again. 

I’ve kept this blog up for the past several years even after the break up because if someone needed advice or needed to see something I shared during that time, I wanted them to be able to see it. 

My Prayers of a Christian Witch has been shared and liked a lot. That was information I found when I really questioned my Christianity but I could not lean towards believing in multiple Gods. 

In the past 6 years I’ve grown as a person. I’ve became much stronger in my faith. I go to a church that accepts me. I’ve come to accept my faith and let it be a part of me. I’ve come to let myself be a tool for Christ. 

After the past 6 years, the guy that I broke up with has came back in my life. We don’t know what the future holds. But this time around, I’ve been able to aide and guide him. 

Christianity is hard. It’s a hard faith to have. It’s hard to stand your ground, especially if your doing it right. 

It’s crazy how the past 6 years have formed me and shaped me. It’s crazy to think of how the tables have turned. 

The way people treated us when we dated and had different faiths will always remain with me. That’s when people begin to show their true colors. I know way too many people’s true colors now. I lost friends due to it. I was completely okay with it. Religious differences in relationships or friendships is a stupid reason to not accept a friend/person. 

That’s all for tonight. I just needed to share something. 

Maybe if you are reading this, it will relate to you.

Good night world.
