Recently I’ve been reading the Bible more, and I came across verses about same-sex relationships, sexual immorality, and “unnatural” desires. Now I feel crushed.

I grew up trying to pray this away. I didn’t choose it. I didn’t wake up one day and decide to like women. I’ve tried to ignore it, suppress it, and hate it out of myself, but all that did was make me miserable.

The hard part is that I don’t love women in a lustful or objectifying way. I love women as whole people. I want tenderness, emotional closeness, safety, and real love. I want to love God too. I don’t want to choose between God and being able to love.

Right now I’m scared that if I ever choose to be with a woman, God will hate me or punish me. I don’t want to live in rebellion against God, but I also don’t want to go back to hating myself. I’ve seen that version of me, and I can’t go back there.

Idk what I’ll do

Hi, this is honestly really embarrassing for me to post, but I don’t know who else to ask.

I’m 23 and trying to get my license in the Greenville/Winterville area. I do have my permit, and I just finished my driving lessons. I’m very close to being ready for the DMV test, but I really need another hour or two of practice to feel confident.

The problem is I genuinely do not have family or friends to practice with. I’ve been trying to do this completely on my own and I’m overwhelmed. I can pay a little, but I don’t have much money at all right now.

If anyone knows a safe, affordable option or would be willing to help me practice in a public area before my test, I’d really appreciate it. Even pointing me toward resources would help a lot. Thank you.

I live in the Greenville/Winterville area. I'm looking for a part-time job, and I'm hoping someone here might have information, suggestions, or leads.

I'm open to customer service, babysitting, and tutoring. If any families need help, or if anyone knows a job that's hiring, I'd really appreciate it.

I'm available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
I have my Associate's degree in Early
Childhood Education, and I can tutor grades 1-
12. Ialso have strong customer service skills and I'm open to retail or similar roles.

I'm currently a part-time tutor, but I need more hours. Indeed hasn't helped, so I'm asking here to see if anyone in Greenville/Winterville knows of any opportunities at all with families or with businesses.
