VISIONS

As we get ready to start a new week, I wanted to offer a lil food for thought.  We all find ourselves day dreaming from time to time, thinking of having the things we lack, whether it be money, love, or countless other things we desire.  Let me suggest to you that these dreams or VISIONS  you're having are simply a taste of what you have to look forward to if you keep the faith and continue to strive for them.  God gives us visions, a look into what could be our future, in order that we might not get comfortable and stuck in the past or present.  No matter where you are in life or in pursuance of your goals, always keep your eyes fixed on the road ahead, and reaching the next level.  Even if you're going through a storm in your life, stay focused, because when the rain stops and the clouds clear, you have to be prepared for the next season.  Life happens in seasons, there are times of storm, crisis, and turmoil, which are always followed by times of sunshine, calm, and fruitfulness.  Through your seasons God gives you vision to hold on to, hope to keep you moving forward, so that you don't become stagnant.  Being stagnant, or stuck in the same place for too long, gives way for negativity and doubt to set in.  So when you find yourself day dreaming of better days to come, thank The Lord for the blessings he has prepared for you, even though you haven't received them yet, enjoy peace in knowing that the best is yet to come... ~Nikki G~
