Discovering new shores

Rotedetailskalender_2006_01_bigFor some time already I sense it's time to move on, to leave old things behind and pioneer new territory. A prophetic friend just send me this word through skype: "This is a major transition season for you and God will increasingly make you uncomfortable in what you have been in. I sense God is shaking you out of where you are geographically and there will be a new emphasis." Interesting.

Earlier today I printed some material related to the 400-year celebration of the discovery of Australia by the Dutch navigators, pushing for new territory. As I write this I watch the 'Red Details' calendar in front of me that Kerstin gave me for my birthday. January shows a lighthouse with a quotation by French author Andre Gide:

One does not discover new continents without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

And this can be quite scary...

Now there is no turning back, so: Go for it! Continents are coming...

hope the "continents" part of the prophecy is to be understood in a primarily figurative sense! ;)
