don't lose sight


The past few days left me a little disoriented with the worry of finding a new job, having a job that is in line with God's purpose for me, worried about coping with studies with a job, having not enough money, intimidation of so many goals in my goal setting card and an out-of-control mom.

All of a sudden - I lost sight of my vision. And feel that I'm going nowhere.
I was saddened, as the verse "without a vision, the people perish" repeated in my head.

In tears, I sobbed about not knowing what to do and being visionless.

Then, Rallen brought me back to reality.

It doesn't mean that when nothing is happening, you're not heading towards your vision.
It doesn't mean that when bad things are happening, you will lose your vision.

I was reminded of my first visions and the burdens that has been placed in my heart before.
I was reminded of how He has fulfilled little portions of the vision since.
I was reminded that a vision will expand, and grow; your vision may start out small, and become something unimaginable over time.

A friend of mine phrases it so well on his MSN nick, "If it is your dream, protect it.."
I should fight to protect my dream, and not let it so easily slip away, even in the midst of crisis.


It is great that I had put many plans in my goal setting card, it is great that I want a new job, i want bla bla..
But "there are many plans in a man's heart, nevertheless the lord's counsel - that will stand"
I should slow down and listen, and God will surely direct my path towards the ultimate purpose for my life.
