Be still, my soul!
Thy God doth undertake
to guide the future
surely as the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence,
let nothing shake;
all now mysterious
shall be bright at last.
Be still my soul!
the waves and winds still know
the voice that calmed
their fury long ago.

No #transinchurch post from me today because I am working. Many of my queer sisters, siblings, and brothers won't be in church because they have been pushed out, or made to know they are unwelcome.
Know that God is with you, loves you, and delights in who you are no matter what.

🎼Not by your finger, not by your anger
will our work order change in a day,
but by your people, fearless & faithful,
small paper lanterns, lighting the way.
Fresh as the morning,
sure as the sunrise,
God always faithful,
you do not change.

You are a light on a hill, O people,
Light for the city of God!
Shine so holy and bright, O people:
shine for the Kingdom of God!
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
bring forth the kingdom of peace.
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
bring forth the city of God!

Go in Pentecostal Spirit,
many tongues and many gifts.
Feed the hearts of hungry people.
Spread the gospel that uplifts.
Till the day of Christ's return,
as disciples teach and learn.
Go in Pentecostal Spirit:
let God's flame of witness burn.

Dear binary-presenting trans women, saying you don't believe in a gender binary does not free you from criticism when an action you choose harms nonbinary people. You carry a degree of privilege by presenting in a binary way that your nonbinary siblings don't have. It's important to recognize that.
