Vision

We've been talking about vision in my small group for the past few weeks. What is the vision for my life? This leads me to another confession: every time I hear someone say "God called me to be (...)", I feel a little sad, because I haven't figured out the (...) for my life yet. Not jealous, or envious, just a little sad. I have a vision for my life, I think. It just feels a little fuzzy sometimes, at least it felt this way until a few minutes ago.

I was listening to Brandon Heath's song "Give me your eyes" this morning, and I silently prayed that I would have "His eyes for just one second" (or maybe two seconds). That's when I realized, that I probably could not handle having His eyes, even for one second because... I would freak out! I'd try to deal, negotiate or even worse, try to make it happen. I'll just be content with what I have for now, thank you...



I just love when messages like that travel from my brain to my heart!

"You want the truth! You can't handle the truth!!!"

I love your writing....you resonate a longing to be with the Father and one with the Father....how can he not be pleased?

This is the Kingdom of Heaven, that they would KNOW HIM who was from the beginning. This Elom is surely your destiny, identity and your mission, everything in between is the journey, with Him.

I long for they days when the smoke clears and we *see* we are...in the palm of His hand. Til then we walk by faith.
