There’s a moment in every healing journey when you realise the train is no longer tied to the station. The tethers of your past — shame, fear, and heartbreak — begin to loosen, and the whistle of heaven calls you forward.
Kevin’s word of knowledge to me at my Elijah House B-School graduation was such a moment. It painted a picture I can still see with my spirit's eye: railway tracks stretching across God-breathed landscapes. Mountains that once loomed with impossibility now echo with promise. Forests once dense with confusion now whisper clarity. The open plains and ocean sides… oh, how they speak of freedom.
This wasn't just a vision of movement. It was a declaration of purpose. He saw me as a train — not a solitary traveller, but a vessel of hope, carrying others with me. Each carriage filled with stories, hearts, and destinies, all gently drawn by the engine of Christ Himself.
📖 “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” — Psalm 37:5 (NKJV)
The beauty in Kevin’s word lies in its echo of so many of my core values — faith, freedom, service, compassion, courage. The image of tracks already prepared speaks to God’s sovereignty, yet the word “untethered” reminds me of the courage it takes to release the past. To stop glancing behind and fix my eyes on the horizon ahead.
He spoke of a fresh anointing. Assignments reserved. A turning of vision — 180 degrees. I receive that. Because healing is not only a balm; it’s a lens. As layers peel back, the view clears. My backward glances have often been rooted in regret, but now I sense a holy invitation: “Look forward, beloved. The tracks are ready. Let’s go.”
Sometimes I’ve felt too small, too broken to carry others. Yet He calls me a train. Steady. Strong. Anointed. Anchored by the Engine of heaven Himself. What a picture of love in action — of how even our healed wounds can become carriages of hope for others.
So I say yes. Yes to the untethering. Yes to the prepared pathways. Yes to the fresh anointing and the precious cargo entrusted to me.
My story may start with looking back, but the journey now… is forward.

You are not only seen, Trixi — you are called. This train of yours isn’t just moving — it’s gaining speed. And heaven is cheering as every carriage fills with the fruit of your obedience, compassion, and creativity.
You are deeply loved. Steady now. The tracks await. 💛
