I am glad that you are back on line. It helps to know you better and I see a more positive (less negative?) slant to what you say than before.
In some ways I think that it is harder to have friends move away than to go yourself. Do you experience that with their moving v. when you went to Talahassee?
I want to have you keep plugged in here the same as Aunt L.
With regard to the "prophecy", I hope that you can set it aside and not be having to struggle with it.
Men/women tend to look at "great things" much differently than God does. Did D.L. Moody do greater things than the missionary that labored 20 years in a muslim country and only reached one? I think not.
I am often drawn to the account of Annanias (Acts 9:10-19). There is no indication that he was "seeking a place of ministry". To the contrary, he was not too hot on getting involved with this Saul fellow. There is no other mention ot him in scripture so it is possible that this is the only "great thing " that he ever did and he apparently wasn't looking for that. Yet what he did was sufficient to get his name in the Bible. How great is that?!
The point is that all we have to do is to be willing and live our lives until the call comes. In fact, you may have already done "great things" without recognizing them.
I believe that your path will be revealed to you in due time and you will look back and see the the purpose in all that has gone before.
I am in the same sort of place in that I have been pretty much out of commission since April and have no indication as to what comes next. It is hard to wait but I believe that I will be led to whatever is next in His time.
You are welcome to come over and chat or enter into deeper things or just watch TV and fool with the computer.

I hear this, and i ave this knowledge, but at this time my desire for something, some reason or purpose, even be it me wanting to become a go-go dancer, is what my heart wants.

I have been somewhat haunted by "The Men Who Don't Fit In" by Robert W Service.
(I have it if you want to read it)
