How important is vision?

When I had been on my own for a while and was beginning to question whether I wanted to continue teaching or try something different ... I decided to book an appointment with my pastor. He was someone I greatly admired and I felt for sure, if I could just talk with him, I would have a definite understanding of what I should do next. I came out pretty much disappointed ... still not knowing what to do.

LOL, as if my Pastor could tell me what to do! He did something much greater though. He asked, "What is the vision God is showing you?"

I was like, "Well, I thought maybe you would be able to help me figure that out." He replied that he could recommend the tools but I would need to apply them myself. The most important tool, was the question, "What is the vision God is showing you?

There is a scripture in the Bible where God says, "My people are destroyed by a lack of vision". Evidently, vision is really important. When we loose it, our lives can become random and unfulfilling in so many ways.

Maybe you haven't lost your vision but perhaps, it is just changing. When was the last time you had a heart to heart talk with "The Vision Giver?" Did you get off track, or does He simply have a new plan for your life?

Don't waste time. He knows your heart and He will share His heart with you. You are in His heart and if you have invited Him, He is in yours. He's not that far away. Just ask. He is waiting. (O:

Even in war, there are rules of engagement that must rightly be observed.  Gossip is simply, "A War With Words".

Always remember this.  Before speaking or passing on questionable information about another person, tell something very awkward or incriminating about yourself first.  Then, invite the person to whom you are speaking, to pass on that "minor tid-bit" as well.

That way, we can have absolute freedom in saying as many unkind things about one and other as we like ... that is of course, if we still think that we feel like saying it. 

Learned something about myself today. I, as many other women, tend to think I am called to be the director of the universe.

I listened to a speaker at a woman's meeting today. She was talking about stress, depression, anxiety and where it all comes from.

Hmm..... well, I thought about it and I am willing to step down. I just need to know that the rest of you are there to cover and take over in my absence. LOL.
