Have you lived a life of loneliness?
Every day brings agony and distress.
Living a life where you don't get to see the direction.
Have you felt overwhelmed by shame?
Where the sorrow is no longer a major concern.
Knowing that your dreams have already been destroyed.
Out of the wreckless life you've lived before
Where you regret each and every decision you make
Living a life without hope—a useless life
a life in which you have no helper,
In that life, you have to be responsible for it.
life where you have to face your fear
Life where you need to pray over every demon
Either they exist or not, as long as you feel bad.
Or when you feel cursed!

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
