"Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter." Isaiah 59:14.

I’m A Prophet… Now what? From revelation to acceptance.
I know, I know. I can hardly even admit it to myself sometimes. I can hear y'all saying, "well how she went from being a journalist to a prophet..." Same thing I ask myself. I'm a teacher now too... But hear me out. I'd stopped blogging because I was getting weary and confused. I graduated …
