    “I am not my body!”  Compassion, peace and hope when we feel alienated from our bodies

    July 1, 2019 / Comments Off on “I am not my body!”  Compassion, peace and hope when we feel alienated from our bodies

    May God deepen our compassion for those who live in this tension and bring us wholeness and peace Whether because of aging, illness, gender dysphoria, injury, anorexia, or even weight gain, many of us feel that who we are on the outside is not who we really are on the inside.   When I first encountered the transgender community rallying cry, “I am not my body,” I was shocked. “I am not my body” had been my heart cry for years.   I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 29.   I could empathize with the trans who felt like the male on the inside didn’t really align with…

    August 2, 2018 / Comments Off on Strength and Dignity are Her Clothing

               I made my first overseas flight without my parents in my twenties. I had just finished graduate school, and stayed with them until I could afford my own place. My parents had left for India weeks prior, and I would soon join them. I had visited India twice as a child—oblivious to the cultural differences between India and the US. No worries. My mother prepared (translation: warned) me via written “what to pack” instructions she left on a note taped to the bathroom mirror. “Lots of long dresses. Nothing sleeveless.

    God exists in three different forms simultaneously (the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit) (Deuteronomy 6:4. John 17:21.Luke 3:22).  Mankind was created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26,27); consequently, we have three parts: the spirit, the soul, and the body (1 Thessalonians 5:23. Genesis 2:7). God is the Father of all spirits (Hebrews 12:9).  Therefore, when we were conceived, God gave us a spirit that was alive. “Alive” means a spirit that could go into God’s presence.
