To put on display, all my skeletons out
of my closet is what God was asking me to do – for all to see (Matthew 5:16).
Maybe God, did not understand that I was okay, fine with the way I was living.
I had no interest in rocking the boat.
BUT GOD, LOL!
The conversations He began to have with
me, forever changed my life.
I can remember it like it was yesterday.
In January 2014, for the first time in my life, I could hear God’s voice
clearly. As if He was sitting in the room right next to me. His voice first
sounded as if it was coming from my right. Then my left. Then behind me. And
then, suddenly in front of me. At first, I had no idea what was going on. All I
knew, I was hearing this human voice I’ve never heard before, but He sounded so
familiar. I thought I was losing my mind.
Each time He spoke, He repeated the same
thing. “Share your story.” And
sometimes, “Tell your story.”
After a month of this, I had enough. So I
went to a trusting friend, explaining what I was experiencing. She laughed and softly
said, “Deaidre, it’s God. He wants to
talk to you. Listen and then answer Him when He calls.”
God! I thought. At the time, I was 43. I
had rededicated my life three months earlier (October 2013). Prior to that, I
backslide into the lifestyle of homosexuality in 2007, for almost 7 years.
Prior to that, I was baptized at age 15 in 1987 and served God faithfully until
I left God in 2007. During that time, I never heard God’s voice. And now, He’s
talking to me. Not asking, but telling me to share my story.
So in February 2014, I decided to take my
friend’s advice and waited for God to speak to me again. And when He didn’t, I
took the risk and opened my mouth and called upon Him. It was that conversation
I had with God that forever changed my life.
