Vision. This has been the key word in my Pastor’s sermons this month. It’s a great word to focus on as we start the new year, and like the majority of his sermons I have been forced to think on this keyword. Pastor has asked, “what is your vision, your vision for your family?” So, what is my vision?

I already shared my word with you; which is others, but what about my vision. What does that look like and how do I make sure I live it out? My vision for myself, is to serve the Lord by serving others. I want to make my life about others, so much so that people know they can count on me when it comes to helping someone. I want to live a life that points others to Christ and leave a legacy that once I’m gone will continue on. So, what does that look like?

It looks different for every person, because we have all been given gifts by God that are to be used to glorify His name. As I have sought God’s will for this year I know I will be focused on missions and writing. My job, teaching/coaching, is a major part of my personal ministry. When I look at each gift God has given me I can pray over it and see what doors He opens. The truth is even if He opens the door, I have to be willing to walk through it even if it makes me uncomfortable. God has put something on my heart, and I’m not sure how He is going to work in my life but one thing I know for sure, change is coming. God has blessed me with the opportunity to go on mission trips and I don’t see that changing. As I have mentioned, I am currently working on a devotional, and I can’t wait to see where God takes that project. My goal for this year is to have at least one new blog post each month.

What about the vision for my family? As announced last week, Nick, my husband is starting a Sunday school class next month and my prayer is that we are able to reach others. God has put it on our hearts for years to be more involved and dig deeper with other Christian couples. This is no walking away from that being in God’s vision for our family. I’m not sure what the rest of our vision is for our family, but I know with prayer God will reveal it to us.

A vision is great, but if you do not accept it and make a plan it will stay that…a vision. God has given us the ability to talk to Him to see what He has planned for us. I want to challenge you to seek His vision for you and ask Him to show you how you and your family can turn your vision into action. Don’t sit on the bench waiting to go in when God has shown you what He wants. He’s ready for you to be ALL in. Get out there, get in the game, play your best and give God the rest! He will do far more than you can imagine. DREAM BIG!! As we go about this year may we remember, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,and your ways are not My ways.”This is the Lord’s declaration. Isaiah 55:8
