“We all spend time in the foyer, figuratively speaking. We each face circumstances that make us feel on the margins of the congregation, looking into the chapel from the foyer. And that is okay, because the gospel is still true in the foyer.”

I’m Shelby, a 29-year-old professional living in downtown SLC. I use a wheelchair and am looking for some personal care assistants. A great opportunity for a college student, stay at home mom, or a retired stay at home mom looking to make a little money, get out of the house

You are loved. You are worthy. This is your reminder 🧡

@Tam_Bam4 If you have handbook support or other support, would love for it to be sent my way! I’m probably meeting with my bishop soon to discuss my stance here and my fate apparently 😂

[chieko n okazaki fan club @RSpresidency]

@Tam_Bam4 The handbook (my philosophy is if I have to reference a handbook for who I love and respect, I might be doing it wrong) does say leaders counsel against social transition which includes changing pronouns, among other things.

@BrambleJim I hope it doesn’t happen, but the messages/feeling I’m getting is that we can’t support it and can’t choose to break the rules when we want. It hurts because I care so deeply about my YW, but if I have to be on the outside to do it. I will.

@jessiejensen I can attest.

“I know the goodness of God, and I also know the hurts of this life. Of the very few things I truly know, the most certain, drawn from the most vivid and inexpressible experience of my life, is this: God is love, and our becoming so is what matters.”

For all LGBT students at BYU - I am here for you. I feel so heartbroken and powerless but my classroom and office will continue to be a safe place for you. I will be here for one more semester (2 at most) but I can connect you with others. My DMs are open and I want to help.

Sometimes religion and practice can become an idol instead of the tool used to get you closer to God.

@Taylor_A_Boyd My favorite classes are the ones where there’s lots of room for discussion! We once did a get to know you bin that each person did and you could spend 10 dollars on things you like or could be related to you. You bring on Sunday, someone gets it then they go next!

@Taylor_A_Boyd Thank you 🧡🧡🧡

When it rains I could cry, every single time. It reminds me of God’s love for me, every single time.

[chieko n okazaki fan club @RSpresidency]

@srslycanadian @calvinjburke Just seeing this! Any other clues? I have an idea but don’t have great service right now to check!

[chieko n okazaki fan club @RSpresidency]

Dear Lord, please bless that I DO lose my mind on people who talk about my YW and their sexual orientation as if it’s an issue or any of their business.

Amen.
