A friend in Uganda, wrote to me and told me that God has a vision for me and that I should keep praying and seeking God.
This is my response:
God talks to me every day.
We laugh together often
throughout each day.
She blooms flowers for me.
She sweetens our oranges
and brings chirping birds to our birdfeeders.
She dances across the sky at dawn,
painting the sky orange, pink, and purple.
She smiles at me at night
in the sliver of the moon.
She reminds me that I am a blessing
and She works through me
to end the suffering
and heal the people who come to me.
She teases me,
reminding me not to take myself
or life
too seriously.
She reminds me
She talks to everyone's heart,
Inspiring them to share love
with all Her creatures.
God also laughs
when She hears people insist
that She is
a male.
When I had my first heart attack,
I asked God,
“Why didn't I die?
Do you have a plan for me?
What is my purpose?”
She laughed and said,
"Mushroom, You delight me.
I have no plan
or purpose
for you
or anyone.
Why would I need that?
I created you out of love.
I want you to be the best you
you can be.
And you choose your way.
I will help you
because I love you.
I have no divine plan
for you
or anyone.
Does that make you nervous
or do you see the freedom
I have gifted you?
Continue to be
the delight
that you are.
That is why
I created you."
