The following wasn't a vision, it wasn't a dream. This took place in our physical world. In June 2014 I was sitting in the TV area, thinking about this book I had already started writing about how to create world peace. What lead me to writing this book was a prayer I made a few weeks before this moment. For so long I had been wanting to stop modelling, because I felt like I was wasting my life, so I had asked God that day "Father God, please just show me what my true purpose is on earth, I don't want to waste any more time here, I just want to do it. I want to know what it is so that I don't put all my effort into something that is not what I'm supposed to be doing. Show me my mission God. Show me my purpose. Show me God. Amen" I prayed for this with desperation in my heart, I really wanted God to show me and really believed He would. The next day I had a modelling casting and when I was done I sat down at a small cafe in Barrack street and started listing 10 things that I am grateful for in life (my usual routine). I stared outside through the clear glass window and watched people walking by. And asked myself, what is the purpose of all of this? What is the purpose of getting a job, none of these people are smiling? None of these people look happy? They are walking around like zombies off to work t make money. And this is their lives everyday. It was then that the solution had been placed in my mind. A solution to world peace. It was a surprisingly simple solution and yet never implemented? I knew God was telling me that I am meant to implement it. I am meant to share this simple solution with the world. My thoughts were leading me, showing me what I must do, and they lead me to writing a book that I am still busy with.
So, a few weeks later I was sitting there in my TV area, thinking about this book and how I was going to get it out to the world and save the world. Then I looked over to my left and this beautiful white bird was standing at my sliding door between the small alley on the side of my house. It was so beautiful that it felt surreal. It felt like a message from God to me. It felt like a blessing. Tears started falling down my face and I felt this overwhelming feeling of joy, like God really knew who I am and sent me this white bird. I consciously knew it was a dove, but what are the chances of that dove landing right in the small alley way on the side of my house, next to the sliding door, precisely while I was thinking about world peace? I immediately thought of Jesus when I saw it. The dove had started walking by the sliding door slowly, until it was eventually out of view. I was in awe by this experience and still staring at the sliding door in shock when my mother had entered the room. "What are you staring at?" she asked. "I just saw a dove!" "A dove? Where?" "Right here next to the sliding door!" I brought my mom over to the sliding door and was hoping it would still be there so that I could avoid looking insane lol (I had been talking to my parents about a book I was going to write that was going to bring peace to the whole world, they don't really seem interested or believe me, so they could have thought I was just making the dove up as well) but there it was, still standing in the alley way and my mother saw it with her own eyes! "Oh wow, okay, but how do you know it's a dove?" she asked. I believe that everything you see, you see for a reason. Nothing happens by accident in this world. I felt in my heart it was a sign from God to me. "It's a dove!" I said. I then researched the spiritual meaning of seeing a dove on earth to see what I could find and this is what I found and read to my mother. Who still wasn't very interested.
"The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography. Some iconographers show Mary being blessed by a dove at the moment of Annunciation, and Jesus was blessed by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove at his baptism. The dove is said to be so pure that it is the one form into which Satan cannot transform himself. The dove appears as symbol of purity on the Holy Grail in Malory's Morte d'Arthur. In Muslim lore, a dove murmured the words of God into the ear of Muhammad. Today the dove is a symbol of peace, often portrayed with an olive branch in it's mouth. This iconography is taken from the story of Noah releasing the bird to bring back proof that there was land again somewhere and that the floodwater's were receding."
How exciting is that! I love signs from God, and I am excited to see where this journey leads me to on earth, but I know where it's leading me to in the spiritual realm :)
