So many of us lose ...What a great lesson on faith. So many of us lose our faith on this journey and its sad. I am currently really struggling with my faith right now, but I have to ask myself "why?". Is it because I am frustrated that the faith I was taught does not line up with faith as I now know it? In other words, my path to God has taken a different route than I wanted to go, but I can't stop searching for Him even when I feel abandoned sometimes. It is only through our trials and tribulations that we can begin to understand true "faith". Sometimes being lucky hurts...lol.<br /><br />Truth is all of our paths are different and we have to make the most of the journey set before us and you sound like you are doing that with your daughter and THAT is a beautiful thing! :)<br /><br />For you to even begin this journey is very telling that you are a person of great faith...Laura Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930242406683635520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756568649265082125.post-1826983244744448182010-02-06T19:19:18.930-06:002010-02-06T19:19:18.930-06:00It's nice to see a mother trying to understand...It's nice to see a mother trying to understand this and dealing with this odd condition so well. How can we not worry about our children and try our best to protect them? My mom was not capable of hearing my early pleas because it wan't what she wanted to hear. Meanwhile my dad did his best to try and make a man of me, his transgender child.<br /><br />I've avoided this blog partly out of jealousy and partly because I didn't want to deal with the emotions it might bring up. I'm also very reluctant to give support because I still wonder if this was just a childhood phase I went through. Sound crazy? Yes I guess, because here I am living as a middle aged woman. Some phase.<br /><br />Forgive me if I hesitate to root you and your child on as my emotions want too. It's a strange condition that I wonder if anyone who has it can ever feel "normal" with. But I think your child has a really good chance having a mother who listens and cares.<br /><br />I'm not much of a believer but I struggle and talked to God a whole lot about being this way. Anger and pleading to have him fix my mind or my body. Then pne long sleepless night of tears and pleadings I thought if God wasn't going to change me that he must have wanted me this way. But why?<br /><br />And it came to me that it must have been given to show his unconditional love. I never wanted to be an object lesson for that but it helped me feel like this had a purpose. A simple lesson in unconditional love for everyone.<br /><br />My family has shown me that love. And though I don't consider myself a believer anymore this condition has been an amazing lesson in love. In that odd way I do feel blessed and I bet your daughter does too.Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129944492482478212noreply@blogger.com
