About This Blog

K, so from this blog I have a few purposes. First and foremost I want to give hope to those who feel bound by homosexuality and need to know that they can choose their own destiny and get help. Second, I write this blog for those who do not have homosexual feelings but want to learn more about it from the perspective of someone who is overcoming it. Third, for me, it is very therapeutic and beneficial for me to write about my own experience. I intend to write about my past, my present, my thoughts, information that I have found helpful and anything else that comes to mind. So, some days I may choose to write about my past and background and others days I may choose to write about what is presently happening in my life. Whatever I write, it is going to be from my heart and I what I feel inspired to talk about.

The First Post

This is my very first blog post of any kind. To be honest I never thought that I would ever have a blog. I have what I feel to be a very important message that I feel needs to be heard. My name is Justin Caldwell and I have strong homosexual attractions. My opinion about these attractions may not be popular with some who read this blog but they are mine and I hope you respect them. I just ask that you have an open mind and ponder what I have to say. Amid the many voices that tell me that "this is who you are", "you can not change" and "you should just except it", I find hope in and believe that I don't have to be gay.  I believe change is possible. You may call me crazy but I do believe there is hope and people can change. You should know up front that I am a religious person. As religious person I love and respect all regardless of their beliefs and choices. However, this doesn't change the fact that I believe homosexuality is against Gods commandments. Furthermore, if God has commanded us to do something He will provided for us a way to accomplish what he asks of us. (1 Corinthians 10:13) Now, just because a way is provided doesn't mean it will be easy. I know this to be true because He has provided the way for me. Not only has He provided the way but He has been with me every step. It has been a long hard journey but a journey worth taking.
