A Message from God
By Dixie Darr
Sunday afternoon, I went to a Tea Talk at a local new age-type church. The topic was Creating the Work You Love. The speaker was very good, but the best moment for me was when a 55-year old woman named Cherie stood up and said that in fourth grade, she told her teacher that she would write a book and be a public speaker when she was 60. She knew this absolutely because she had gotten a message from God or the universe telling her so.
At the end of the event, I rushed to meet her, because at the same age, I’d gotten an almost identical message. Mine was a little more general, telling me that my best years would be after age 60. Cherie said her knowledge of this future event made her feel very free in her younger years. She didn’t worry about dying early because she knew she’d live at least until 60 to fulfill her mission. She didn’t (and doesn’t) worry about growing older because she knows there are good things waiting for her. We agreed to get together and talk some more. Neither of us has ever before met anybody else with this experience.
We expect God to call to us in a booming James Earl Jones kind of voice, or as our speaker that day said, put it in lights on a giant marquee. Instead it comes in a nudge or a small voice inside our heads. My messages come in that internal voice, which is, in fact, my own voice. No wonder I often ignore it. Sometimes, though, the message gets through. I’m 56 now and in training for those best years to come. The closer I get to 60, the more excited I get to see what’s in store for me.
