School, work, and church....

I realize that i have not written in her for a long time. Update time! Well, school is going well. I'm doing pretty ok in my classes. I have a few A's. I know I have a C in my math class though. I am majoring in Family Studies with a minor in Psychology. I am thinking of going towards Social Work. I used to hate social workers because of an experience that happened when i was 5 or 6 that occured but this semester I've got to experience adoption. For school, we had to put in 40 hours of volunteer for something that helped families and so i decided to volunteer at an adoption agency up the road from my house. I just finished my 40 hours last week, but i had an amazing experience and i even got offered a part-time job as an executive assitant(like a secretary, making copies, organizing information packets, and folders, going to Alliance meetings etc.) It wasn't too hard and i learned a lot.
Work has been going well. I'm still working at the daycare. I'll be there 4 years on January 9th. Hopefully, i'll get a raise. If so, then i'll be making as much as i did with the tumbling job i had 2 years ago! So sad! But that is what happens at daycares even in you have a degree, atleast at my daycare. I am working with the school-aged chldren. I was with them this past summer as well. We do groups and I am incharge of the craft group on days i've there in the afternoon. I usually only have to come up with projects for those 2 days! It is actualy fun! I have some children that drive me bonkers and won't listen to anyone. Most of them have authoritarian parents or permissive parents that could careless on what they do! :( but oh well!
Church, now this is where i've changed. I've kinda quit going to church. I was going to the LDS church for 2 years and 9 months. I've quit going though. I haven't gone in a month. I'm just not feeling it anymore and I don't believe it is wrong to drink coffee, tea or alcohol. This part is where it is going to get touchy, but i don't think it is wrong to be homosexual either. I don't want anyones input on this topic because i know how most people feel, and most people feel different about it than i do, which i am fine with, just don't put in your 2 cents. I believe it is natural and that it is something someone is born with, depending on how they are raised will determine how open or closed they will be on the issue until one comes to term with it and accepts it as being natural. I believe what the Bible is referring to was from that in Bible times. We don't follow exactly everything the Bible says. If we did, we wouldn't be wearing gold or jewelry either. We would still be wearing tunics and robes as they did, etc. Some things the Bible says, yes, we do need to follow, and other stuff no, because it is for their generation and not ours. I don't want anyones input on this either, because i know what you are going to say and i don't want to hear it. If you don't like what i have to say then don't read it, and if you want to quit talking, then go ahead and be judgemental, but that it something God speaks against, because he is the judge and not us, so don't go doing his job. I've been going to a church though, well the past 2 sundays, that accepts gays. I like it! They are very loving, warm-hearted people! I felt accepted, even on my first day! I have met several people already, and have been offered to help with the children. I was singing with them today and was asked if i wanted to help with them, and got invited to sit with some of the people instead of alone like i have these past 2 sundays! I like it, and i do not think it is wrong. If you want to say something about this post, keep your opinion neutral. Just say, i see what you are saying, i don't agree, but ok. Doesn't mean you have to accept me for it, but don't be rude and tell off how you think i am wrong. In my mind, i will see it as your opinion. I don't ever listen to people who are like this. That's just me and is what i have learned to be!
