LINDSAY

Lindsay is married to Blaine, who lives with same-sex attraction. A stay-at-home mother of two rambunctious boys, she loves to bake, perform in musical theater, and shop. She graduated from Weber State University in Ogden with a Bachelor of Integrated Studies in music, English, and child and family studies. Lindsay has learned through experience that nothing is impossible so long as God is on her side.

All Things Work Together for Good - Blaine

There are few things in my life that I believe with more conviction than that God desires my happiness, and that all things work together for my good. Whatever trials and struggles I have had in my life, I know that ultimately they have been meant to lead to my happiness. Over the years I have come to find that same-gender attraction is no different. With all the trouble and fear it has caused me, I know it has also brought me a level of happiness I never could have reached in any other way. For that I am honestly grateful.

For with God, Nothing Shall Be Impossible - Lindsay

Through certain experiences in my life, specifically those with Blaine, I have learned that fear has only inhibited my happiness and growth. Fear is the opposite of faith, and my faith in the Lord and his plan for me has altered the way I now feel about things that used to seem impossible. I view challenges and trials differently than I did before I met Blaine. I now know the Lord will help me through whatever challenges may come because he loves me.
