To have Vision....

I have always tried very hard to be someone with Vision. After all, it does say in the Book that without vision, men perish. I don't want to be Perishable! So Lord give me some Vision please! While waiting for the divine whisper, I put my brain to work trying to decipher if God had said something before that I had overlooked, that was in fact the key to revealing the Vision for my life.

In addition, I figured life is more worthwhile if one has dreams. Goals to work towards. So I tried having that as well. What do I want to achieve? What do I really want to do? Where do I want to be? One of the problems with dreaming as an adult is that anything that comes up is always attached to 'Are you sure you can do that?' automatically. Wet blanket, yes, but I shouldn't set myself up for failure right? So dreams too, became hard to come by. But I continued trying. Stressing. Because I didn't want to become an under-achiever, a 'failure'. Having a job isn't good enough....I've got to save the world! Find something meaningful to do Jade!

God's vision is bigger than ours, were the pastor's words this morning. 

And I felt God say (African-American style)..... 

"I've got enough vision for the both of us, honey"

Me (Malaysian style + disbelief): Hah?? 

Silence. I think for a bit.

Me (trying to be a smart-aleck): No dreams, no action you noe.

Silence. Think some more.

Me: You sure ah? I still cannot see anything. I have no idea what to do.

Silence. And I figured God had said all He needed to say. 

So. My dreams come from God. Stick with God, and I'll eventually find out what it is I'm meant to be doing. And if not, hey, I've stuck with God, which will be great anyway. 

You think what you want is huge? Wait till you see what I give you. 

Me: Are you serious God?

And I realise what I think I want is probably teeny-tiny compared to the awesome-ness of what He has in store for me. Oooh excited! You have to know what I told God I want in order to understand *giggles* And if He gives me things that I have not even begun to ask for? Oh I could die of happiness.
