I feel hard-pressed to encourage prophetic scribes 65 and over today. In my online prophetic scribe group Scribal Prophets, I have seen posts and comments from scribes who say things like:
- I feel as if I'm too old to start.
- It might be too late for me at this point in my life.
While I understand where they are coming from, those statements grieve me deeply. I find myself screaming inside: "NO! NO! NO! Emphatically NO! It is never too late!"
As I mature, I am well aware of how the world changes around us. I am increasingly sensitive to ageism and other influences that can bring older adults into this place. It is causing me to be acutely aware that each day is a gift… and I PRAY I live to see those later years.
