Why I don't "hate" Matt Walsh and his blog...

....I just don't like it.

This week I posted an article about hating Matt Walsh.  With the post I said "truth" which let me clarify with what I meant.

I wasn't saying the title of the article was truth.  I don't hate a blogger.  What I was referring to was hating how he goes about his blog.  Christians share his blog posts cheering for his beliefs.  And I shared that article because I strongly disagree with which he goes about doing so.

I'm not someone who likes backlash on Facebook.  I don't enjoy strong disagreements on Facebook.  So I apologize for bringing that into focus.  That was not my intentions.  My desire was to share that I'm not a Matt Walsh fan in what he says and does on his blog.

And that's why I don't comment when someone isn't willing to read the entire article.  Please don't read just a few lines and strongly disagree and start putting it out on me.  Ask my intentions and don't be quick to judge.  {And I desire that to be honored because even though it is social media, it is on my page.}

Part of my faith journey has been learning to not be so quick to judge, being more open minded, and I feel like Matt Walsh does the opposite of that.  And that is what I wanted to bring to the table.

If you want to sit and chat with me about it you can.  E-mail me.  Private message me.  But stay open minded and try to see it from a different point of view.  Someone who might see the church as already judgmental and hurtful.  And I don't want to be a part of that.

1 Peter 3:15-22
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 
17 It is better, if it is God's will,to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 
18 For Christ died for sins once for all,the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 
19 through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison 
20 who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, 
21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also--not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 
22 who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand--with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

Image
  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Every Voice Matters

Image
  I was raised in a household where my voice wasn't heard.  My opinions didn't matter, and my questions were not respected.  The space around me was filled with chaos and noise that didn't make sense to me.  I was surrounded by dictatorship in my own home.  I had dominate people directing me and pushing me to do what they wanted me to do.  Meanwhile a few of us sitting back in agony and confusion of why this was able to occur.  This led to my silence, social anxiety, and self doubt.  The voice inside my head never stops.  It takes on overwhelming pressure to make decisions.  It's confusing when I make a boundary.  Growing up the boundaries were constantly broken, and yet I had no clue what was happening.  Especially because of the fact I didn't know boundaries existed.  The voice inside my head wanted to scream and run and yet I had nothing to say that would make them listen. The lack of confidence in every thing I do is portrayed by my ability to fill my living spa

Things that change with a baby....

Image
Two months of changes: Use alarm clock to check length of feedings and not to wake you up. Prepare to have outings take "that much" longer. Lean over to cuddle with hubby and realize he has already left for work. (added later) Husbands call their wives Mommy, and Husbands are called Daddy Touch cold zipper and think you have spit up on you. More poop, more smiles. Perspectives change: dirty diapers a good thing because it means a healthy baby Realizing the amount of junk you eat, because it goes to the baby also Clothes are hardly ever clean and once you get the chance to do a load--she wets or blowouts on more! You get delighted to hear a burp, especially when it finally comes out after one of those middle of the night feedings. Your free-time becomes getting another snack or meal, changing a load of laundry, taking a shower, or updating your grocery list and meal plan. Watching TV/Netflix, checking up on Facebook, or watching a movie takes the p
