34

Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful

crisis

, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth

possess

your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.





I know how lonely it can be to not feel like your community or even your own family will accept you. Don't give up. I never thought my parents would come around, but now even my parents accept me for who I am. One thing I didn't focus on enough is the people who were always there for me. In addition to self-acceptance and prayer, leaning on the people who really cared about me and loved and accepted me as is got me through my darkest times. If you reach out, you can find those people who will love you and help you and guide you. Trust the people who are kind to you and ignore the others. Listen to the still small voice within that tells you you are ok just as you are.
