The day after...

The day after my last post, my parents wanted to sit down and "hear my story." I became very nervous, frustrated and overwhelmed. What was I going to say to summarize the last 14 years of my life with this experience? How would I convey to them my faith and how God has been a part of all of this?

I finally realized that it was not my job to show them the last 14 years, to give them the full experience. Most of the change that I want to see in them will have to be shown by me being genuine, honest, and most of all, taking action and demonstrating the things that I desire to be seen as.

There are about 100 blog posts that could tell you about all of the things that happened before and after that talk, and for the respect of my family and our relationship I will keep that between us, but please know that things became hopeful finally. I heard my parents say some of the very words that I seriously only dreamt that they would say. I felt that there has been a line of communication opened between us, small, but open.
