Recent Convictions

So, last Sunday my pastor preached a sermon that actually stuck with me  (normally I forget what he said the moment the last word is out). He was preaching on praying effectively. Basically, stop these weak little "Lord, if you'd be so kind, you know, if it's in your will..." prayers. Tell Him with boldness your requests, treat Him for what He is, creator of the universe! The only one who can do literally anything  (but sin)! That said, be sure to thank Him in everything, even for the bad stuff.

I took this sermon to heart, and tried it out. I directly told the Lord that I couldn't continue living depressed and suicidal anymore, and know what? He delivered me from them! Now, that said, I do feel the depression constantly trying to come back, and when it does, I pray, then thank God for whatever I can think of and/or sing praises to the Lord. Thank you God for convicting me of this.

Realization

As soon as I came to the realization earlier this morning that I’m just a horrible child and that I should just be what my parents want, their perfect servant son, I felt so much better. I’ve fought all these years against that, and made my life so much more miserable. Trying to be their independent daughter. Now, I’m devoting my life to being their servant son, as they wanted. That’s why they never loved me before, how could they? All I did was rebel against them, afterall, they brought me into this world so I could be that. Maybe now they will finally love and care about me.

How things are going

So, yeah, as you probably noticed, there was no "Tumblr Roundup" this Sunday. I'm sorry. I meant to give a notice, but I didn't. Why did I not give a notice or do a Tumblr Roundup? Because my dysphoria is attacking me extremely hard right now. I just want to die. It won't go away. It keeps coming back, stronger than before, sucking away my will to live. Lord, may I die or start transitioning, and I mean, transition SOON. I can't keep doing this. I can't keep wanting to die. I can't keep grabbing a knife from the kitchen, taking it to my room and chickening out at the last second. I can't keep doing this. I can't keep wanting to harm myself, only to stop myself at the last second. Lord, just let me be a woman.

Doubts and Second-Guessing

So, I’m less than three months away from (hopefully) transitioning. Now, all I can think is, “is this really me?” “Can I really be a woman?” “Am I really a woman?” “What if I’m wrong?” “What if being trans really is a sin and I’m just twisting the Bible to justify my lifestyle?” “Maybe I’m not really a woman” “Maybe I’m not made out for this,” “I can’t really do this.” So, yeah, lots of doubting and second-guessing now that this is getting legit real.
