Independent Late Bloomers

Well, he's usually spot on but he missed it this time. We are "late bloomers" because we are Independent. We are Independent because we are listening to God and he is leading us places no one else goes. We are Independent because when he leads us to those places there is no one there to help us do it the way God our Father wants it done. So we have to develop those skills. I have a BA in Mass Communications Radio/TV. I took extra Bible courses and extra English courses and extra Writing courses. That takes time. Number One is Family. So the BA went into 2nd place while I focused on changing diapers, and then homeschooling, at least as much as I could. My goal from an early age was to have a Master's degree by the time I was 28. It took me a decade to get my BA because it was 2nd place. So I was only able to START my first Masters WHEN I was 28.

When you put God first, as Jesus instructed us, then God, himself, takes detours and back roads you didn't see coming. So you can't plan for it. You just keep walking. For example, I didn't know that buying my 39.5 acres in Tennessee which I had romanticized from seeing it in a glossy magazine, for sale, was going to be anything different from the dream I created in my mind. I had looked around at the world and noticed it was not the environment I wanted to live in and raise my children in. So I dreamed up an environment where I could. If I could have put a ten foot high grey brick fence (like one I saw when I was living in Houston; I still want that particular beautiful fence; I still have pictures of it) around the entire 39.5 acres with a moat full of alligators and guard towers I would have. I did the essence of that anyway. I had originally wanted an ISLAND, see my books, but my late husband, Robin, talked me out of that one. So, I envisioned turning our property INTO a virtual island, and I actually did, spiritually.

If I could do it all over I'd have just stayed in our lovely townhome I loved, where Robin and I were married, our home, in Houston. I would have raised our children, with him at my side, in the environment where he prospered. That was Houston, his home for 50 years, where all the oil companies actually WERE. But no. I had heard God and I had dreamed and we wound up buying 33 different ducks, different breeds because I thought they were pretty, and with him using his engineering skills to reconstruct our coal operated single source of heat for our 5,000 sq. ft. log and stone mansion on a cliff overlooking our Grist Mill. He had to have the phone company and electric company come out and install special cables and abilities that allowed him to communicate with Houston, and Dallas, and Lafayette, and keep developing his software and consulting and overseeing the real-time drilling of oil wells world-wide.

God takes you places you didn't expect. THAT is why we are "late bloomers." AFTER my first Masters was finished, I started and finished a second one BECAUSE I hadn't figured out, yet, what I wanted to understand about God and the Bible. THEN when I HAD figured it out to the point where I started the path I've been on, which is the metaphysical interpretation of scripture, I had to face an entire industry designed to only present their narrative and that narrative did not match what I knew to be true, from studying it intensely. SO that meant I had to master the skills that would allow me to present my OWN narrative. That means you have to pay for everything yourself, and that alone slows you down. So I wound up with TWO Masters but then half a Master's (all the good courses, the heart of the matter) in Creative Writing, and another half a Master's in Non-Profit Administration and Grant Writing (to hopefully fund my own narrative, which was the truth), and another half a Master's in Mass Communication/Film. I did all that while putting my family, my children, first, as God wanted me to, and God first, as Jesus instructed.

THAT's WHY we are "late bloomers." It has absolutely NOTHING to do with not knowing where we want to go. As a matter of fact, my genius late husband drilled into my head, from our earliest days together, that GENIUSES had trouble because they could SEE SO MANY possibilities all at once. He said it was extremely difficult for geniuses to pick a path because they'd get stalled at how many different paths they could actually see. So what this guy is saying is not true this time. I knew the pitfalls because my late husband pointed them out to me and set an example for me to follow.

The World KNOWS that a woman can't do both. Rockefeller did that to the women of the US on purpose. He separated the women from their children through Feminism and Cultural expectations of women going to work. I, however, had the example of a Christian stay-at-home mom and a successful, loving, Christian husband, my parents, and I stuck my tongue out at Rockefeller and did it THEIR way, at least as much as I was able to.

When you put God first, as Jesus taught us, then God takes your path through very unexpected twists and turns. The NORMAL way is for EVERYONE to be "late bloomers." It is in our OLD AGE that we are SUPPOSED to shine. Of course, we have that backwards. xo
