Default Wife Attended Church With Me

Yesterday, a milestone was achieved. My spouse and I went to our place of worship with me dressed as Gennee. I was very calm and relaxed. as we entered the church. We attended the adult education class where a few people didn't recognize me until I told them. They were so surpirised. Once again Louise revealed that she has accepted in my transgender identity.

Sunday was also the beginning of our new LGBTQI ministry. After service there was a luncheon to kick the event off. I received a number of compliments from other worshipers. This was something that I hoped and prayed for-to attend church with my wife as Gennee. Another Milestone was reached as I strolled with Louise through my neighborhood. Louise would never go with me when I was dressed but she did on Sunday. I'm so thrilled and look forward to doing more things as Gennee.

Default Your persistant courage and faith

Dearest Gennee:

Just had to say how much I appreciate your ongoing sharing with us of your amazing journey. You are a shining light to so many. You help people understand that courage is something that doesn't just suddenly happen, but is a result of small steps crossing over our comfort zones and leading us to the next step. In the movie "Romero," which Soulforce used to show for each nonviolence traning, it took Romero, three attempts before he was able to fully take back the church that had been occupied by the army. Each time, he was able to go just a bit further. You are an inspiration to so many people Gennee! Kara
