This is what I interpret it as meaning: a sudden realization
that has life-changing consequences.
I believe I’ve discovered my own epiphany.
It goes like this. For my entire life I’ve been struggling
to discover what my gift or muse is.
For years I dabbled in drawing and art only to discover that
while I am very proficient at it, I don’t possess the inner fire, or drive, to
apply myself completely to art.
Although I made a successful career in graphic design, drawing and even
teaching drawing and Commercial Art, my heart was really never in it. It was a job.
I’ve written a number of stories-some unique and quite good
but again the fire was not there.
For about a week I’ve been getting subtle hints from God as
to what my gift is. From reading the
Bible, conversations overheard from other Christians to messages seen on the
TV-all of which mention discovering spiritual or personal gifts.
My gift or talent has been staring me in my face for
decades. It’s quite simple really.
I love writing reviews.
I enjoy talking about collectibles such as toys, comic books and the
like. I get a big thrill when the
latest review object sows up vial the mail, UPS, Fed-Ex and DHL.
There’s nothing more satisfying to me that getting a
confirmation from a publisher or manufacturer when they notify me that review
objects are on the way.
Here’s what it all boils down to. With God’s grace and help I hope to intensify and expand my
reviews. I pray that more material
shows up on my doorstep and that my review writing capability improves.
