Shirley grew up In New Zealand. Her family was Impacted by the death of Shirley's brother. He was low-functioning autistic and at that time, no one even had a name for such conditions. The trauma of coping with his death threw Shirley's family into chaos. As she grew into adolescence she was aware of her personal confusion about who she was. She wanted to follow Christ, but her desperate hunger for love put her on a roller coaster of bad relationships. First with boys and this Increased her confusion about whether she would ever know love.
She went to a Bible college for a year as she turned 20 and while there she met a woman that she fell in love with. This took her on a journey of nearly nine years of believing she must surely have been born gay, or that perhaps God has made a mistake and put her wrongly into a woman's body. As she came toward thirty, she was over trying to find any human love. She hoped that she could get back to her faith and so prayed the last prayer and God answered. She has been away from this old Identity for more than 30 years and has followed God into ministry and service that has taken her to many countries of the world to share what he has done.
