Oh the synchs and psychic links with this post, Jaime!
I did my post on the not-a-martyr last night. I woke this morning with some part of me reviewing this all in my head and saying, wait a minute, that
is the definition of a martyr! So whether I was reading your mind, or whether we were synching up again, I don't know. I vote for both.
You are so polite, and I love that.

And I don't find you a smartypants, and I am GLAD that you said what you think and know to be true. I always want that.
I agree she is a Martyr and so is Jesus.
And another strange thing and why I asked about the painting is because the night before last, I woke to these words spoken clearly and strongly into my mind, "Elohim raised his hand and placed a finger upon her." At that point, my mind came to full consciousness and I pondered this powerful thought, amazed as usual when I am given such a wonderful morsel of information from some consciously unknown source.
This was before I read your post. And I had a very vague image in my mind that looked like the painting "The Creation of Adam" (but where this knowledge came from, would have to be the very far reaches of my consciousness as I can't remember knowing that painting well or its name). The word "Elohim" sounded like "ella ham". When I receive these type of messages it is often accompanied with a knowledge of the spelling of the words. Otherwise I wouldn't have easily recognized the word "Elohim" which I realized/remembered was another name for God.
So how amazing that you were thinking and meaning "touched". And that you saw it from so many angles. That was the exact word given to me. At the time, I had thought this message was to inform me that I was touched by Elohim, and I still believe this, but now I realize that it was also about you, and about Rachel, applicable to those of us whom "her" fits.
And yes, so poignant and perfect a martyr was she that her last words were in conviction of her belief and the reason for the final shot that killed her.
Amen.
