Write The Vision

As the summer gets closer, I get more excited about all the adventures I will be going on. This will definitely be one of the most eventful summers I've had in a long time. However, along with the excitement of the summer and this next transition, comes the reminders that I haven't even scraped the surface of all that I feel like I'm going to do with this life of mine.

I have many ideas rolling around and seemingly not a lot of acting on any of those ideas. It's at the points of transition in my life when I am glaringly reminded of that fact. Hence the reason for my recent habitation of Panera Bread for hours upon hours. I needed to write the vision out.

As I sat there sipping my Chai Tea, the thoughts began to pour out on paper. I wrote out all of these wonderful plans for my business and ideas for community outreaches. And then I just sat there staring at it. What now? Where do I even begin? I was feeling extremely small in comparison to all the plans. It seemed that all the planning and organizing of ideas had created just more questions. It paralyzed me. I haven't looked at those plans again yet. Maybe today? :-)

I wonder how many other people feel the same way. Do you have ideas and visions that God has given to you? Ideas that you know will benefit a specific group of people or area? That concept is the main thing that keeps me pressing toward the goal! I know that my success is not really about me, but all those that will be positively impacted by my perseverance.

Today, I just wanted to remind you to keep pressing on. I'm reminding myself as well. Whatever is in your heart to do is there for a reason and a specific season. God told the prophet Habakkuk to .... "Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay." Habakkuk 2:2-3.

I've written it out. Have you written out your vision? Are there dreams you have that need to be put on paper so that they can become manageable goals?

Mary, Jesus' mother was given an impossible task of having a child while still a virgin. She was troubled at this news, but the angel reassured her saying, "For with God, nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37.

The same is true for us. If God has ordained something for us to do, no matter how impossible it may seem to us, it IS POSSIBLE for HIM. We simply need to understand the plans are truly HIS. He knows the timing, the strategy, and the resources needed to get the job done.

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

Thanks for coming along on my journey with me. I hope I inspire you to start, restart, or re-route your own journey to realizing your VISION....
