I remember creating this blog months before I came out. So much was going on inside of me, so much I didn't understand. I sometimes wrote for several hours just to relieve the stress and tension I felt. This was my public journal of what was to be a life changing transformation.
Fast forward to now, I'm still going through so life changing transformations. I see how far this journey has brought me and it is continuing. I'm so happy where I am but every now and then there is a subtle shift. Next year I will legal change my name. I'm sure that will be another life altering event.

Transformation
I love the Lent season because it is a time to reflect about the changes in our lives. This past Sunday in service the Transfiguration of Jesus was preached from Matthew 17:1-9. Upon further thought, I realize that we are transforming every day.
Transformation may mean that some thing in our lives has been changed or replaced with something better. Several days ago I noticed more changes in my transgender journey. More of my male identity is giving way to a more feminine personality. This is something I never actively sought but the Lord rendered upon me.
There are things that I can give up during Lent but I believe that something good will replace it. When I decided to be the transgender woman I was created to be, many avenues opened up to me. New friends, new thoughts, a new direction. Above all, I was transformed and renewed by God.

Wife's Poem Spot On About My Gender Transformation
A few days ago my wife read a poem to me that she wrote. It was about my transformation from my being male to now being a transgender woman. She was definitely spot on in her assessment. When I asked her more about her feelings, she said that she can't do anything about it and that's a part of who I am.
I have to reassure her that I'm still the same person, but I just have a different mindset. I explained that it's always been in me and not something that I chose. I sense that she fears losing the male part of me but actually she isn't. I answer all her questions when she asks them. I also share more of my feelings when the need to do so arises. I never ever want to to put her in a position where she has to explain about my transgender identity. I'm open with her about this.
