ForeverJones

For those of you who don't know who they are yet, I'd like to introduce to you some of the most wonderful human beings I've ever met in my life, My Godparents and Godsiblings, the Jones Family.  

As a lgbt member, I've lately been really struggling with my faith.  Let me explain.  As a child I came in contact with a very real and overwhelming presence of love.  It was this love that sustained me and kept me during the time i was being sexually abused by an older family member.  

Later on in my life, someone told me that love came from God, and specifically from Jesus.  Now this post isn't about religion.. It's about love.  My Godmother, Kim Jones, was my Sunday school teacher back in those days, and I loved her, and she loved me.  She reiterated to me that the love she was showing me was love that came from Jesus.   So when people told me that God is love, then I figured that the Love I came in contact with must be God.  

As I grew and studied and studied i found out that God was indeed Love, at least in the manner in which I interpreted the scriptures.  And I fell in love with this man Jesus that I read about.  He was something so different to me.  Not like most of the people I was meeting at church, but something so much more.  

As I grew older, the message of love seemed to dim, and the message of rules, do's and don'ts, and judgment and condemnation seemed to be more of what I was hearing.  But I never subscribed to those beliefs.  For me it was always about love. 

When I finally came to term with my homosexuality, I was met with nothing from the "church" but judgement, hate and condemnation.  So I laid down those beliefs and walked away from religion.  My experience with love has never faded however, and after many years, I'm at the place now where I will let no man steal anything from me, including my relationship and my beliefs.

It was my relationship with person that I knew to be Jesus, that sustained me, and has sustained me.  It has allowed me to forgive those who have hurt me, and to walk as boldly as I can with Love as my banner over me.  

My Godparents just released their new CD ForeverJones in stores and on itunes, and I bought it a few days ago.  I haven't purchased a Christian CD in the past 5 years, because I'm just not interested in hearing anything that has judgment or condemnation in it.  

But I know my Godparents.  I have never felt anything from them but love.  I've sat in on their morning praise and worship songs that they do as a family, and you can feel the Love in the room.  It is tangible and real.  so I had no problem buying their CD.  It hasn't been pulled out since I bought it.  

I can hear the love all through it.  This is the Love I knew and have always associated with Jesus and with God.  I don't know this god that all these hate-filled people profess as being Jesus Christ.  This is the God I know.  One of Love, and Unity, and Compassion.  

So who ever you are, and regardless of your belief system, I can't recommend a CD any more strongly than this one.  The family wrote, sings and plays all the instruments. 

Check them out. It will enhance your life, regardless of how you feel about everything else! 

I love ya'll!  

I know you all don't know me, but I hope you feel my heart in this!  I do Love you! 

Be Blessed!
