Adele de Lange :
Hi Nina. You're probably never going to read this. But I was baptized in 2017, and always "struggled" with my sexuality. I've dated guys in the past, but always felt something was off. Most of my "closet" was rooted in not wanting to disappoint people. I'm such a huge people pleaser (healing from this!)
I "came out" in 2024 and it has been hard being accepted in my church "family". They tolerate me at this point, especially since I have left the worship team because, although I do not agree with their view of people like us being possessed by a demon, I did not want to bring shame unto them (since they believe and preach that).
Needless to say, I felt and still feel disposed of, with no value. And also felt like God feels this way about me. I have been feeling real bad about not praying or reading His word, and because others struggle to accept me, I was struggling to accept myself and thought God will not accept me. Which I know is not true. I have an amazing girlfriend, who loves me closest to how God and Jesus loves us, and I have changed so much (in the best way) since she came my way. A love like this is such a privilege.
Anyway, I am messaging you to say that I prayed and read a devotional today after months, years after coming across your videos.
Please do not stop doing what you're doing. Ignore the Pharisees.
