Greetings All! After living with a feeling of "emptiness" for the past 5 years, I thank God that I was lead to this site!
My name is Sheba (not given name), and I am a 32 year old female from Louisiana. At the age of 5, I begin to experience some terrifying encounters with spirits. Mind you, most of them intentionally scared the lights out of me. However, I would occasionally have spirits that would come to me that seemed un-harmful, but my human nature freaked out and I would end up scaring them more than they scared me. They would drop their heads with a sadness that made me feel horrible and would disappear.
As I aged, visits from spirits were not as frequent, but my 3rd eye seemed to open. I would know the most intimate things about a person just by looking at them. Be it stranger or family, I just could 'see' them. Strange thing. Curious, I began expressing what I saw with select individuals and rather than share in my excitement, they rebuked me! Not because I was wrong, but because I was right!
In my African-American, Baptist community, I was viewed as a possessed child, the devil, a witch. I would dream dreams and tell them, and to everyone's horror, they would come true! This was even more reason for everyone to look upon me with disdain, and say the cruelest things.
Later in life, I begin to select people whose passage in my life that cried out to me for help. Mind you, these were people that were of this earthly realm that were in trouble, and I always seemed to be at the right place and time to help them. I've done good with my gift and bad.
Years of being called a witch left me praying every night for God to remove it from me, and my prayers were awarded. To my amazement, my life became more weird and empty than before. I began to live a life that seemed to have no direction, no purpose. That is until I read the posts on this site.
I realize that I have not included any specific events with all details to top it, but I only need a moment to finally forgive myself and all others that have silenced and dimmed the light that was purposely placed inside of me. All said, post (s) will come, and I look forward to positive feedback. I'm not a pro at this.
Lastly, my inner being is compelling me to thank the amazing energy of ORACLE101, whose presence and being shines brightly, even through my computer screen. Dear One, you have made the beautiful light within me glow again!
Peace, Love, and Blessings To ALL!
I don't know of many African American Women who are Gifted or Psychic. Of course I'm sure there are many. So, it is a pleasure to have read your story for me.
Not for this reason alone, but because I too have faced a simular type of ridicule but from my own family. It's hard to discuss. I'm glad you have moved forward and have been able to get past these things.
One question... How were you able to do it?
