Yesterday I was talking to my mom and she made an interesting point...that perhaps I've never given much thought to...she said that if I ever did choose dating girls over the gospel then it would mean that the gospel lost its importance to me...some of it anyway...and I think she is right. When I try to imagine that day...the day that the gospel, the truth, is no longer the most important thing in my life...I can't imagine it...and that is just it...it isn't just a "thing" in my life...it is a part of who I am...it is SO much of who I am...this truth makes me who I am. The truth of liking girls makes me who I am too. And perhaps this is an odd thing to say, but I don't think I would be the same Sam minus the liking girls. It is a part of who I am...(I guess Affirmation.org and I agree on one thing)...I even think it is an intentional part of who I am...but it is doesn't dictate my life...it doesn't because of those two things that I was born with, that are a very real part of me...I am CHOOSING the gospel. It is a choice. I don't choose to like girls, that is NOT a choice AT.ALL. And frankly, my knowledge of the gospel has never really been a choice either...I kind of came out of the womb knowing...so from the two truths that have ruled my life...I choose the truthfulness of the gospel.
...BUT SOME THINGS ARE.
