Default doing your best
You are doing your best right now. Take heart in that. So you haven't moved forward in a while. Maybe the rhythm of your movement calls for this rest before the next measure?

You will overcome fear when you are calm and sure of yourself. Then you will be ready to move.

Or if when standing still is intolerable and you come to a point of misery where you have nothing to lose, moving forward will be the path of least resistance.

Either way, it will happen.

I am sooooo frustrated with myself.

You have to do this in your own time, Chuck. Just continue to pray on it. There will always be distractions and situations that lead you to delay. But when you are truly ready, God will give you the strength to do what you need to do no matter what else is going on. Know you have friends here who care very much and will support you in whatever it is you need to do.

I am gay, and I am glad to say that I do have some close friends that I am out to; I'd like to be more open, but the consequences of that are too much for me to handle -- right now. In my area, there is a group called Grace for All which is working for the full inclusion of GLBT persons in the life of the church; while the members are mostly UM, the group is ecumenical in nature.

Right now, I feel like I'm going off the deep end. I just pray this isn't the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life, and somehow I believe that just the opposite is going to prove to be the case.

Peace,
Chuck
Welcome Chuck, we're all very glad to have you here!!
