i live with an older woman- named Nancy. and she's about 53.
and she told me that the other girl that lives downstars (Dana) is gay. and she's known since she was 16.  Nancy wanted to tell me this cuz she didn't know what i would think of it...living in the same house and somebody that's gay- and what i feel about it.
and it strikes me funny for one, that this girl says that she's "made" this way- or Nancy says this becuz Dana has said this. But i know it's not true. they choose this lifestyle. 
Anyways- this girl, only 19 yrs. old has gotten bad responses from "Christians" and she KNOWS that i'm a christian- just by looking at my van, and she was scared, so she told Nancy to tell me this stuff.
SHE WAS SCARED.
that's sad. it makes me sad for one that she's living in sin and she doesn't even recognize it as sin and for another that she was scared of me- being a christian-that she would be cast aside or thought "bad" of. 
dont' get me wrong, sometimes we do handle the things of this world VERY hard- and we don't know how to respond, especially if we don't know the TRUE nature of GOD- cuz then we would represent HIM wrongly...which is something i try to stay away from.
But, as i was riding my bike around this morning (thinking about this suprising news) I was thinking "What would you do Jesus? How would you act?"----- and I know that HE LOVES HER...WITH AN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.  and that's what i told Nancy- that I'll love her no matter what- not that agree with what she does or think, but that I love her as a sister in Christ (cuz in the truer picture of it all- she was supposed to be my sister in Christ- but we live in a fallen world)--- and that i dont' hate her or i wont' think anything less of her....and hopefully through my LOVE of JESUS- she will see that HE is good, and that no matter what has happened to her, or what she's done, SHE can be forgiven and accepted again as a new creation.

Living in Nancy's house for only 2 days already has shown me that i need to protect myself with the WORD of GOD> cuz it's my only source of truth in this dying world....and it's my only strong tower in this falling, crumbling mansion (cuz the foundation is being destroyed.)

OH. LORD we need your help as a people- America needs your Spirit again. WE need your conviction LORD! Jesus we need your presence among us, in the grocery stores, in the restaurants, in the streets....everywhere there is a soul to be found wandering and lost, please be there- becuz we are in desperate need of truth to live amongst us....a people that is dying slowly. a people satisfied with it's current condition of poverty and slavery of mind and soul from the enemy of the LORD.  Jesus come like a swift, courageous warrior to your love, who is desperately seeking your return and waits in anticipation for your sword to strike down the Father of Lies.  The damsel waits in the crumbling tower Jesus. She waits for you.
