from him to Elohim

He said "time for yourself?" with incredulity in his breath as if she wasn't worthy of herself. Unfazed, she continued, "Yes, and I need you to listen. What was between us is finished. I have to be about my Father's business." "Your father's business?" He repeated the words with irony as if God would deny paternity. She looked him eyes, confirmed her royalty, and right there, in that moment, shifted her loyalty... from him to Elohim. She said "I am a daughter of God" and did not wait for him to respond. -LeKechia Lyshell
