TO HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SIN (UPDATE)

Yes, I'm a Christian
and I have one gay child,
and another trans,
FtoM,
and I love them.

So what's your point?
Am I supposed to kick them out?
Or how about 
if I just disown them?
Will that satisfy you who want to judge?

A sin is a sin is a sin.
So stop gossiping and overeating and hating because it's a waste.
I love my kids no matter what.
I carried them inside of me for nine months,
then gave up the little career I had
to stay at home and take care of them.

Now thirty years later they are still my beautiful babies
and I love them.
And that's not a waste.



ROMANS 3:23 - FOR ALL HAVE SINNED FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.

JOHN 8:7 - WHEN THEY KEPT ON QUESTIONING HIM, HE STRAIGHTENED UP AND SAID TO THEM, "LET ANY ONE OF YOU WHO IS WITHOUT SIN BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE AT HER."

THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME RANT (UPDATE)

I have so much in my head,

so many thoughts

that sometimes I just can't let it alone

and rest.

I have to let go of the things that I cannot change

and just agree to disagree.

I must forgive those who I feel have hurt me.

I need sleep.

I need to rest,

let it go,

move forward from the past.

They've forgotten me

so what's the point

of this regret that I constantly struggle with?

It's not my fault they never liked me.

Just because I look and talk and walk like him,

don't blame it on me.

Don't hate me for things that I cannot control,

and certainly don't judge me for my beliefs.

I don't judge you,

at least I try not to.

Okay, so I'm not successful,

but, in case you haven't gotten the note,

this life here is just a test,

it's not the end result.

We, all of us, will be judged

by the only One that has the right to do so.
And that you, Jesus, by being at the right hand,
our advocate. 

All of us will face the pearly gates or whatever and wish we had done

something differently,

but by then it will be too late.

So straighten things out here while you have the chance here,

and if some people don't want to even glance your way,

then carry on,

move forward,

move on.

It's not worth the hassle or the sleepless nights,

the pitiful glances,

the aches and the pains.

I want to enjoy what's left of this life.

I so love my husband 

and my two sons,

and my no longer prodigal daughter too.

And I am proud of all three,

yes, even the one who are is gay,
as well as the one who is transgender,

because they love me

for me.

They've never judged or hated,

just loved and protected,

all the things that you should have done

but never had the whatever to do.

Stop using your past as an excuse.

I have.

I'm done. 

PSALM 19:14 - MAY THESE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THE MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE PLEASING IN YOUR SIGHT, LORD,
MY ROCK
AND MY REDEEMER.

IT'S NOT OVER YET (UPDATE)

You get the news 
and think,
"My life is over."
But it's really not.
If you wait just a second
this calm will come over you,
envelope and surround,
like some kind of soft puffy cloud.
You wonder where this feeling is coming from,
and I'll tell you.
It's coming from the throne.
God, I mean.
The Trinity,
the Holy Spirit.
You will know when you get it
cuz you will get goosebumps.
That's how much He loves you.
At your weakest moments,
when you feel the most alone,
He will come down from His throne
and remind you of how much He really cares.
And then that just wants to make you share
your experience you just had 
with everyone out there.

PSALM 4:3 - KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS SET APART HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT FOR HIMSELF; THE LORD HEARS WHEN I CALL TO HIM.

I BELIEVE I BELIEVE I BELIEVE (UPDATE)

I RECEIVED A BAD REPORT

FROM THE DOCTOR TODAY,

SO FEELING A LITTLE DOWN.

TRYING TO REMEMBER MY FAVORITE PSALMS,

THEN I SUDDENLY REMEMBER

THAT I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF THE PSALMS.

I KNOW I'M NOT THE FIRST PERSON 
TO GO THROUGH THESE THINGS, 

AND I KNOW THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL.

HE IS BEHIND THE SCENES

WORKING ON ME.

I HAVE TO TRUST 
THAT MY LORD KNOWS BEST.

HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN
TO ME BEFORE I WAS EVEN BORN.

HE KNOWS THE PRESENT, 
THE FUTURE

AND THE PAST.

I'M GOING TO TURN TO HIS WORD
LIKE I SHOULD

RATHER THAN TO LOOK  TO THIS WORLD
FOR ANY HELP,

AND BELIEVE THAT GOD HOLDS

MY HEART IN HIS HANDS.

I'M GOING TO BELIEVE HIS REPORT.

GOD WILL GIVE ME 
THE COMFORT I NEED

AND SPEAK HIS WORDS TO ME.

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE

I BELIEVE.

JOHN 14:26 - BUT THE ADVOCATE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME, WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS AND WILL REMIND YOU OF EVERYTHING I HAVE SAID TO YOU.

I AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY HIS HIS NAME - JESUS, JESUS, JESUS! (UPDATE)

I AM NOT AFRAID

TO SAY HIS NAME.
TO SHINE MY LIGHT.

I AM NOT ASHAMED
TO SAY HIS NAME.
JESUS.

THIS WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR

AND SEE

GOD'S LOVE AND HIS WORD

AND HIS FAMILY.

I AM NOT ASHAMED
TO SAY HIS NAME.
TO SHINE MY LIGHT.

THIS WORLD TODAY
IS LONELY AND SAD,

TERRIFIED, MAD.

I DON'T BLAME THEM.
DO YOU?

I AM NOT ASHAMED
TO SAY HIS NAME.
JESUS.

WHEN I LOOK AT THE WAY

THINGS ARE TURNING OUT,

IT'S A SCARY TIME TO BE AROUND.

BUT PEACE CAN BE FOUND

IN JESUS AND HIS NAME.

WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE.

WE ARE ALL THE SAME.

WE ARE PROTECTED BY HIS BLOOD.

WE ARE LOVED.

I AM NOT ASHAMED
TO SAY HIS NAME.
TO SHINE MY LIGHT.

JESUS SAVES.


JOHN 3:16 - FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

EPHESIANS 2:8-9 - FOR IT IS BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED, THROUGH FAITH -- AND THIS IS NOT FROM YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD -- NOT BY WORKS, SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST.

A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE (UPDATE - PLEASE READ ME)

A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE,

NO MATTER WHAT YOU CALL IT.

THE SAME WITH ME.

I AM STILL A CHILD OF GOD

WHEN YOU CALL ME STUPID AND UGLY

AND TELL ME YOU ARE ASHAMED OF ME.

I AM STILL THE APPLE OF HIS EYE,

FORMED FROM DUST,

SOON TO RETURN TO HIS SIDE.

WHAT YOU SAY

HAS NO CLAIM ON ME.

I AM STILL A ROSE.
AND A ROSE IS A ROSE IS A ROSE.
SO THERE.
DID I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?

Deuteronomy 32:10

In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as the apple of his eye,

Zechariah 2:8

For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—

BULLY (AKA TOXICITY) (UPDATE)

I FINALLY SEE YOU FOR WHAT YOU ARE.

GOD REVEALED IT TO ME.

YOU'RE A BULLY;
TOXIC.

BUT I WILL NO LONGER ALLOW YOU

TO INTIMIDATE OR HURT ME,

USE ME AS A DOORMAT,

OR WIPE YOUR FEET ON ME.

I AM MOVING ON.

I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME.

LEAVE ME ALONE

UNTIL YOU ARE READY

TO NOT JUST SAY YOU'RE SORRY,
WHICH, BTW, YOU HAVE EVER DONE
AS FAR AS I CAN RECALL,
BUT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS.
THAT'S THE KEY.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I SAY 'I'M SORRY'
 ALL THE TIME.
SO DON'T EVER THREATEN ME AGAIN
FOR APOLOGIZING.
K?

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO?
YOU NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE JESUS' NAME
AND THE SACRIFICE
HE MADE ON THE CROSS.

I WILL PRAY FOR YOU,

BUT AS OF TODAY

I'M MOVING ON
FROM YOUR TOXICITY.

Luke 10:11

‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’
