God Is Awesome

- OK halfway through this got into a bit of a ... praise & prayer. & it's totally pro-God so if you're not into that be warned -

*to the mods, this is okay in this section, right?*

Ever since I got an ED I've been sort of setting Him aside because I am aware messing around with oneself like that isn't good and as a proper Father He'd want me to stop it.

But He never really went away to leave me to my own devices.

And now and then I realize, or I just have this insight in my faith that, up to here I've always ended up where I should be in life, and I expect that in the future this will continue. If it's my place to go to a School of Arts, I'll be accepted. Et cetera. I'm lucky and blessed, it seems: everything is always OK in the end.

It's such a safe belief, and I really do believe it. I'll be OK - I'll get wherever it is I'm going.

This morning - this just happens now and then - I suddenly thought of Him, feeling good about that, singing a bit of a song. It's just so great, and in those moments it just doesn't matter that I have no clue as to what He thinks of all those things the Church is 'against' (like homosexuality), because I believe He loves me.

& I realize that, if I would realize this more often, and accept it without questioning so many things, I could feel so much more love and kindness myself, towards the world.

And, though my ED feels like it's 'wrong in the eyes of God,' (which I know isn't quite true because it's a psychiatric disorder, not a choice) I don't get that feeling from this. Contrariwise, I feel I want God to be part of this, of these decisions. To lead me. And if I believe in a path being here for me, down which I walk, then how could I not believe this path I've been walking on all my life, which is GID (I think), is also something He knew all along?

I feel that I don't have to worry about whether or not God approves of my undertaking these gender-things. I don't want to think about whether He made me like this and all of this is a journey I'm supposed to be on, or if it's something mankind created by messing up with genetics or whatever. The given is the same. I'm wanting to be of the opposite sex. I'm wanting to be of the opposite sex AND I would be homosexual if I became so.

And God loves me. He will not abandon me. He will show me the way. If I am patient, I will get all the answers I need (differentiate need from want!). If this self-discovering journey leads to the conclusion I am indeed transsexual - that will be OK. If it doesn't, it will lead to whatever else is going on and that can be solved. Either way. I'll be OK eventually.

I believe I was baptized on November 24th, 2004. And I just came up with all of this. Check the date. Call it coincidence - it's great poetry, hehe.

If I ever forget I'm not alone, please do kick me in the behind but good! hehe.

Yes! God is awesome! No matter there're so many people say that I'm in the wrong of God's way. I always love Him. Never hate him. Or leave him. I feel his grace. But sometimes I feel sad, but the positive way is I become much stronger after that! God bless us.

Personally, I have found accepting that I am transsexual and coming out to people to be a faith affirming experience. I seem to e finding exactly what I need right when I need it without very much pain or effort (well much less pain and effort than I anticipate at least). Also, since I came out to my children, there has been a lot a joy and laughter in my house - I have not seen my kids so happy since before the marriage went sour. I know God has been at work in my life, I see it every day.

      Sounds like time for a new Body Technician hopefully one that is actually a Doctor Of Medicine, this one you describe is short of that mark.

      I've been seeing my new treating doctor for quite some time now, whenever I'm advised to make an appointment. When it comes to seeing a new treating doctor, hard part is starting all over again building trust between patient and doctor. On my first day seeing my new treating doctor, before I could say anything else to her, she explained to me I needed to be completely honest with her. I kind of expected that type of patient profiling response from her, since she doesn't specialize in intersex care. Anyway, I sat down in the chair as I explained to my new doctor, I don't have all of my hospital records, certain records from my childhood and teenager years are mysteriously missing regarding a surgery. After my examination was over, she disregarded or showed no interest in searching for my missing medical records, but instead she blamed me for how I take care of my health today.

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?
