What Vision would I have if I knew I would succeed?

Here are the notes I took in convocation today - the notes are brief, but it is really what I needed to hear. I was up very late last night tossing and turning in bed dwelling on all that I am not, and all that I fail to do on a daily bases. I am frustrated at how behind I get in certain things. My goal is to try and work harder at not putting things off, because in the end I am only miserable, wishing I had tackled each thing as it came my way.

Notes: Speaker: Dr. Townes

What Vision would I have if I knew I would succeed?

Vision is not realistic without barriers.

Path - vision must lead u somewhere.

Flowers- Vision needs some enjoyable items

Birds-Vision should make your spirit sour

See a vision - own a vision - share a vision

Habakkuk 2:1-4 write the vision...

Must wait by faith.

Vision comes to the spiritually alert.

Vision gets stronger when u communicate with God.

The vision becomes the person.

Need eyes to see what God can do.

Write the vision. Write your dream.

U need patience & flexibility to realize your vision.

Tie your vision to your faith.

You will have a future commitment.

Vision gives purpose to your actions.

What's on your canvas?

Like this little bird - I am working on bowing my heart in surrender to God's vision for my life.



Please Lord, don't hold back your plan for me.
Your word of wisdom is what I need.
I need direction, please.
I want to be like Isaiah
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ’Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ’Here am I! Send me’ —Isaiah 6:8
- ...If we will allow the Holy Spirit to bring us face to face with God, we too will hear what Isaiah heard-"the voice of the Lord." In perfect freedom we too will say, "Here am I! Send me."
