It was so amazing to hear such powerful information being articulated with such love and gentleness. In amongst all the stuff, something really stuck out – they breathed life into my prophetic “edge”. And they said that because of this, I had often been ahead of my time and hence misinterpreted. That is so true. Now, I certainly have no intention of taking credit for this, and I hope it doesn’t seem arrogant because I am not saying this is of my doing. It’s just how God has wired me. Too often to be coincidence, I have ideas and insights that do not conform with contemporary thinking. But then, soon my view is the mainstream. But because I have been ridiculed as being “off course” I have chosen to keep quiet (not always though). Phil suggested to me it is time to get back on my “soapbox” and return to the BIG dreams and aspirations I used to have (how true is that!!!, for any who know me well). He rightly pointed out that I had, due to life events, settled into a laissez faire attitude – just accepting whatever happens. It’s so accurate, I am sad to say. Many years ago, I was a big dreamer and I had huge aspirations. Remarkably, as I reflect, I actually achieved some significant results, too. Life has settled markedly in the past few weeks/months. So I am now ready to take back the reins, dream big, rely on God and fulfill my potential in a new way. I accept that God has gifted me in very unique ways, and they are not in line with social norms (or in fact, church norms either). However, in His shadow, I will seek to be the best me I can be. I won’t win any popularity contests as I will not be conforming to the ways of the world, but I want to bring joy and warmth to my Father’s heart – because I know as a father, how precious and special that is. He loves me and is proud of me regardless, but I know that only being who I was created to be will bring the legitimate peace and fulfillment in my life that is available to me.”
