Prophet.

Valya is my favorite prophet.  She is one who speaks prophetic words long before they are popular, easy, or even acceptable.  She loves fiercely and fights for her friends.  Every time I see Valya at some restaurant, I cannot help but be reminded of Jesus partying with sinners and tax-collectors.  It seems she is always surrounded by a group of people that most Christians would reject.  It seems that our idea of a prophet is usually one who is rejected by society for living out the way of the church so fiercely.  And yet, time and time again in our Holy Scriptures, we see that prophets are rejected by the church for making the church feel uncomfortable.  If God makes you comfortable, you likely need to go and visit a prophet.
