God cannot give happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
C. S. Lewis, writer (1898-1963)

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS
It is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be independent when you haven't got a thing, that's the Lord's test.
Mahalia Jackson, Musician (1911-1972)

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS
Faith is different from proof, the latter is human, the former is a gift from God.
~Blaise Pascal, French Philosopher (1623-1662)

Genevieve's Gems
Faith in God's revelation has nothing to do with an ideology which glorifies the status quo.

A Different Year By Far
Already I see that 2009 will be quite different from 2008. I wrote down the goals that want to achieve, but I see more development, education, and trials ahead. Whatever will help someone else is certainly worth the effort.
I'm reading the book 'Transgeder History' by Susan Stryker. After I finish this book, I will reread 'Crossing Over:Liberating the Transgender Christian' by Vanessa Sheridan. I read these two books within the past year plus. They are chock full of information that I need to read these books again. Educating the public is still a great need that I must act upon.
My relationship with God is the most important part of my life and I will not neglect that. I also see that my mind and spirit needs to be stretched and challenged because we are in the midst of one of the greatest times in history for transgender people. I have been seeking the scriptures for guidance. With all the falsehoods and misinformation going around as fact, I cannot sit idly by while people are dying.
In the past I have emphasized the point that no one should be ashamed of who they are. Neither should they be made to feel ashamed by others. This year I will be more outspoken about this because I'm tired of people dumping on us because of who we are. When I thought it this could be a matter of life and death for someone. I see myself doing more writing like never before. My heart burns within me because there's so much to say.
When I began my journey I understood that I could never go back. I see some twists and turns ahead but it won't deter me from where I need to go. In the end, I pray that another person will be helped.
