A while back I read your husbands book called Desires in Conflict.

At the time I was grappling with my own issues of SSA and GID. Although I had been strongly leaning towards embracing a journey towards healing and wholeness in Christ. I still had these arguments in my head that I needed to address and work through.

And the primary conflict could best be described as a conflict because I truly desired to know God, to know His ways, and to deepen my relationship with Him.

Anyways, I had also read Anne Paulk’s books, the first one that she wrote with her husband John Paulk, Love Won Out, and then her solo work I can’t remember the name of that book… perhaps Restoring Sexual Wholeness … I think, or something like that.

When I read your husbands book even though it was writen for men in mind I still learned a lot from that book. Anyways, I decided to e-mail your husband to say, “you know, the book was a useful tool me as well even though I’m a girl.”

I attended a couple of Love Won Out Conferences held in the Vancouver area.

I’m not a wife, I’m single, although I have found resources much like Focus On The Family touch on issues that still really spoke into my life and gave me a little direction while trying to navigate through my very complicated life. And so, as a single adult where my community is made up of mostly very straight people who know nothing about my ongoing struggles (although I’m apart of the Living Waters leadership team in my area/assitant small group leader), I’ve come to look for resources in abstract ways that don’t seem too logical… like for example, Focus On The Family and resources for marriage. I say it’s not too logical because marriage for me doesn’t seem to be in my future. Although, I’m totaly open for what God may bring into my life. I’ve learned to take my own agenda and bring it to the cross and allow for God to show me who He is and what His desires are for me. It’s proved to be an adventure thus far. So, whatever God does, and wherever God takes me…I’ll just see and continualy be amazed with all that God does in my life.

Looking forward to reading more of your blog.

Sincerely,
Janey<
