“Where there is no vision, the people perish” Prov. 29:18a

Without my glasses I am so low vision that I cannot read the big ‘E’ on an eye chart.  With my glasses I can have 20/20 vision.  Even though physically I can see, sometimes I lose sight of the general vision for my life, that God has a plan for me.  While I strive to stay connected to that plan, distractions, disappointments, life in general can cause me to lose focus.

I started this blog, because I believe, that God gave me this concept and that it is part of the bigger picture for my life and giftedness.  I had great intentions but perhaps the title of the blog let me think I could randomly post as ideas popped into my head.  Over time, I began to post less and less until almost not at all.  Leading into this new year and new decade, I have been earnestly seeking the vision for 2020 and points beyond.

The text above, really means that when we don’t have divine or prophetic revelation, we cast off restraint.  As I have been meditating upon the direction of my life and the direction God wants to take this particular gift into the future, I’ve come to realize that without seeking His face and understanding, I am prone to wandering off in all kinds of directions.  The fact of the matter is that writing, even about random thoughts and ideas, requires restraint, focus, intentionality and discipline.  God has given me a fresh understanding of why this process is important for my growth and to provide ideas to anyone who will read it.  He has effectively put my eyes back into focus to take up the process all over again.  Pray for me that I remain on the pathway, keep my 2020″vision” so that I can continue to do His will and fulfill the calling He places on my life.
