The Fulfillment of a 20-Year Prophecy: A Journey of Faith and Connection
Have you ever witnessed a prophecy unfold in your life, revealing the intricate threads of divine timing? It’s a rare and beautiful experience. My story begins at an unexpected gathering—a summit for men, where both my husband and the husband of the woman I was to connect with took the stage to inspire.
As I mingled among the attendees, I met Kimberly Hobbs, the founder and director of Women World Leaders. The moment our eyes locked, I felt an undeniable heart connection. Little did I know this encounter would change the course of my life.
During our conversation, I found myself sharing something deeply personal: my journey through a kidney transplant. Normally, I keep this chapter of my life private, but that day, the words flowed freely. Kimberly listened intently, and soon, she opened up about her mission, her books, and her magazine, Voice of Truth—an impressive publication that I knew I needed to keep close.
Months later, a gentle nudge from God compelled me to pass that magazine on to someone else I knew would appreciate it. That decision became pivotal; the woman I gifted it to is now contributing to two of Women World Leader’s books, the beginning of fulfilling a prophecy that was given to her and expanding her ministry in profound ways.
Years ago, during a time of worship, God laid it on my heart to share my kidney transplant story. I attempted to write it several times, but each effort felt like wading through quicksand. I struggled with selfdoubt and fear, convinced that my writing skills weren’t up to par. Yet, when I shared my experience with Kimberly, she offered a lifeline: “I want to stay in touch, and I’d love for you to write about your journey.”
Terror gripped me at the thought. How could I possibly articulate such a profound experience? But Kimberly’s unwavering support and gentle encouragement felt like a divine intervention. She assured me she would guide me through the process, step by step, and suddenly, I felt hope flicker within me. It was as if God had sent an angel to help me reclaim my voice.
Now, I am thrilled to announce that I’ve written a chapter in the book Restoration: God Brings Beauty from Ashes, which will be released in the coming months. This isn’t just a personal milestone; it’s a fulfillment of a prophecy I received 20 years ago. Back then, God whispered that He would bring “beauty from ashes;” today, I can see the magnificent tapestry being woven through my life and the lives of others.
Furthermore, this is just one piece of a larger prophecy involving McGrane Global Centers, which aims to prepare the Bride of Christ through restoring marriages for the Kingdom across nine countries. The path is becoming clearer with each step I take, guided by faith and the beautiful connections God has orchestrated.
I am profoundly grateful for Women World Leaders and the incredible community it fosters. Our journeys may be different, but through shared stories, we can uplift and inspire one another in unimaginable ways. If you’ve ever felt the stirrings of a dream or a calling within you, remember that sometimes, the most miraculous transformations begin with a simple act of sharing your story. Embrace the connections around you; you never know how they might lead you to your own fulfillment.
