It hasn’t ever been easy, socially, for the seventeen-year-old senior either as her peers believe that she is a little too peculiar to fit in with the in-crowd. No one’s bothered by this more than her bougie younger sister who’s a social butterfly. God has purposed Avaya to a higher calling, fully equipping her with the spiritual gifts of mercy and prophecy. Obtained through the gift of mercy is an ability that’s emotionally tangible. This empathic gifting enables the prophetess to affectively pray for others, rather than just effectively intercede on their behalf. It immensely heightens this sensitive teen’s existing sympathetic nature and hence for her “too peculiar” soul. The price you pay for attaining such a high calling is constant angst and afflictions, and Avaya consistently retains this dilemma, but still remains unabated. However, when an unimaginable tragedy occurs shortly after school starts, it pushes Avaya to her breaking point, but the prophetess is determined to push through it, Then suddenly she suffers anon—a more drastic tragedy, the possibility of giving up becomes probable because her blessing will begin to no longer feel like a blessing at all, but a curse. Being called higher will become unbearable for Avaya, despite having an ad hoc understanding through prophetic insight, that those who are called, are also equipped. Perchance, she does cave in under the infinite pressures of “The Kingdom” life, she may no longer choose to remain “UNABATED” trying to endure the heaviest burden of them all—her very own.
