Sunday morning. She was sixteen, alone in her room, and crying.
She was supposed to be getting ready for church, a weekly endurance session that she dreaded and loathed. As much as she enjoyed meeting Spirit and helping other people during church services, the stress of doing what she did – and of being misunderstood time and again – was taking its toll on her.
She hated Sundays. She hated feeling lonely in a crowd. The other teenagers who attended the youth service with her were too interested in their studies and the opposite sex to listen, much less care, about her experiences. The adults viewed her mostly with suspicion and disdain, half-aware of her gifts, and resentful towards her for having them.
Only the Bishop and a few of the church staff were truly appreciative of her contributions. They knew she could see, sense and hear from Spirit. They called her in when they needed her assistance in seeking Spiritual counsel and predictions (what was called the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge and the word of prophecy in those circles).
They would bring her into the office very discreetly, ask her to tune into Spirit, thank her, then let her go back to the congregation… where she faced the gossip and mockery. Alone.
OMG it’s Kelly the loony. Don’t go near her, she might tell you something you don’t wanna hear. She sees spirits! She’s so weird!
I can’t stand that Kelly. She’s so high-and-mighty and thinks she knows everything, with her Spiritual gifts and all that. In the first place, can she prove she’s really gifted?
I don’t allow my daughter to talk to that Kelly. God knows what demons are possessing that girl. I pray for her soul.
Sunday morning. Sixteen, alone in her room, and crying. With the radio turned up so no one could hear.
Then a song came on that caught her attention.
You’re one in a million / Once in a lifetime / You made me discover one of the stars above us
Suddenly, Spirit was powerfully present in her room. A glorious light, an almost inaudible hum, was suffusing the messy little bedroom with divine love, peace and joy.
She opened her eyes, red and swollen from an hour of tears.
A gentleman, dressed in a sharp grey suit with a fedora to match, was seated at the chair by her desk. From His warm smile, and the scarred wounds on His hands and bare feet, she knew Who this divine visitor was.
She smiled back, and let Spirit heal her through song. What had been a simple pop song was now a sign and a message from Spirit, reminding her of her true worth, and giving her the love and strength to go on.
After a while, she got up, got dressed, and went to church.

“I think of my father every day. It’s been a year but I still can’t believe he’s gone.”
The middle-aged woman across the table from me had been weeping since the reading began. Unhealed grief can be devastating, and Petunia, my client, had been struggling for a long time.
Behind her, Petunia’s father stood by, his hand on her shoulder and look of loving concern on his face.
– Petunia, your father is well. He wants you to know he’s been leaving signs for you to notice his presence. Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary happening lately?
Petunia frowned as she tried to recall. “No, but to be fair, I’m so stuck right now I wouldn’t notice any sign unless it was very obvious.”
– Sure. I understand. Wait a minute. Your father is trying to tell me something.
The old gentleman beamed. Ask her about the coins!
– Petunia, your father is saying something about coins, have you been finding or picking up coins more frequently nowadays?
“… Now that you mention it, yes. Recently I’ve been finding coins on the floor. Just yesterday I picked up an old one-cent coin that had been out of circulation for years. I thought it was strange…”
Nothing strange about that, Penny, I did it! The old gentleman replied.
– … Did your father call you by a nickname, by the way?
Petunia stared into the distance, her eyes red and swollen. “Yes. He called me Penny.”
It took a few moments for the meaning of the coins to become clear, but once it did, the joy and relief on her face were ecstatic.
“That was my father? He did all that just to remind me that he’ll always watch out for me? Oh my god. Oh my god!”
– Yup. He was saying Hi, Penny.
Petunia was laughing and crying now. The tears on her face were tears of joy, healing, and reunion with a father she thought she’d lost to death… but who had been showing her signs of his love all the while.
“Oh my god. Of all things, Penny. My father always loved a good pun. Thank you, Kelly. Thank you.”

She wasn’t crying. She couldn’t feel any sorrow or anger… anything.
The divorce had begun. Her soon-to-be-ex had filed. He’d cast aside his godly Christian pretences and was finally showing his true, vicious colours.
She’d stopped going to church for years. She was tired of everything. After years of being derided, misunderstood and backstabbed, she’d finally walked away from her gifts, her allies in Spirit, and her soul’s calling.
She was at a point in her life where nothing made sense and there was no one to talk to. Also, money was tight. Alone in the cafe, she sipped her tea and wondered how she was going to pay for a divorce lawyer on top of all her other bills.
Then a song came on that caught her attention.
You’re one in a million / Once in a lifetime / You made me discover one of the stars above us
She hadn’t heard that song for years. Instinctively, she widened her eyes and looked around. After a second, she realised the mistake she’d made and ducked her head down again. But she was too late.
Spirit knew that she’d noticed the sign.
She felt a warmth behind her, and a hand on her shoulder. Her spirit guide, Lindsay, was smiling at her.
Kelly, do not fear this latest battle you must fight. Spirit is with you. You’re going to be okay. It is time to return to the Light. God is greater than any church or man-made organisation. You can serve the Light powerfully, both within and without a religious institution. Let us know once you’re ready to work with us again, and we’ll give you the guidance you need.
And with that, Lindsay disappeared.
She took a deep breath. Despite her running away, Spirit had never once given up hope on her, but was waiting patiently for the day she would finally stop to listen to Spirit’s song of unconditional love.
What had been a simple pop song was now a sign and a message from Spirit, reminding her of her true worth, and giving her the love and strength to go on.
Soon after the incident, she returned to the service of the highest Light, and became a lightworker.
