I believed the world’s lie I was gay…and then transgender~
This was my life before Jesus. I started my journey back in 2015. I knew of Him, but didn’t care to understand, because it wasn’t cool and felt my choice was unchangeable. Yet I never stopped fully believing in God, but accepting more and more of the world’s lies. I was told my coming out and gay/trans identity would bring me fulfillment and satisfaction through accepting my attraction and desire for all things feminine and gay. I was traumatized by bullies throughout my childhood into adulthood. So much so, that in a effort to escape in fantasy, I would try on my Mom’s clothes as a kid and imagine myself as a girl. I watched Jem and the Holograms and the Little Mermaid etc., as a kid that inspired me to think that some magic idea could change me into the person that was confident, happy, and healthy. It stuck with me into my adulthood where because I was traumatized by my childhood experiences in which drag as an adult was meant to find purpose and reason for these feelings. This path led to me thinking I was gay and then transgender. The problem many people have including myself is that I was unhappy no matter who I became or what success I had. The unhappiness stemmed from a void and emtpiness inside because I was missing a relationship with my Creator. He opened up my mind to the start of my new creation the day He healed me of my transgenderism and showed me an open door to a new life in Him.
Below are pictures of me in my previous life experience, before I loved myself more for who I am.
Psalm 51:10-19
Tree of Life Version
10 Let me hear joy and gladness,
so the bones You crushed may rejoice.
11 Hide Your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
12 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
13 Do not cast me from Your presence—
take not Your Ruach ha-Kodesh from me.
14 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
and sustain me with a willing spirit.
15 Then will I teach transgressors Your ways
and sinners will return to You.
16 Deliver me from bloodguilt, O God—
God of my salvation.
Then my tongue will sing for joy of Your righteousness.
17 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare Your praise.
18 For You would not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it,
nor be pleased by burnt offerings.
19 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A broken and a contrite heart, O God,
You will not despise
