Oh Chuck, first of all welcome, welcome, welcome. If I could see you person to person, face to face, I would give you a huge hug!!! Coming to terms with who you are is a scary but glorious thing. For the first time, God is so gloriously glad that you are being authentic with who HE created you to be. "The truth will set you free..."
I will be praying for you and your wife, and daughters. When I came out to my two daughters, they were so cool with it, it was amazing. Now they speak out for equality and come to my defense so often. They love me and support me and my wife. I didn't stay with their father. I divorced him 7 years ago and married my wife in 2004 in Canada. Coming out to my parents and siblings wasn't that easy, but I am praying for reconciliation. I wouldn't change my coming out for nothing, however. I am in love with the most wonderful woman and I love her like there is no tomorrow.
Be blessed in all you do and in your future. You are loved here and feel free to ask questions, offer wisdom, and express your doubts, fears and uncertainties. We are a lively bunch and you will find a wide array of people. Enjoy yourself and know you are loved on this journey. God be with you and surround you in His love and His grace.
