Keeping Your Eyes on the Goal!



Dan has been reading a book on entrepreneurship and business and in that book the author was talking about making a vision board. He was encouraging people to put on it all those things you are striving towards and believe are your destiny. He encourages people to get specific with ideal salaries, businesses, cars, houses etc. He encourages people to get the board out and study it. To keep it up somewhere where you can see it and be reminded of it. While we know we’re going after a God first, then a God given destiny and not just stuff. What the guy is saying is very Biblical. You need to keep the vision before you, and keep it fresh in your mind. Studies have proven time and time again that the word of God works.

Habakkuk 2:2-3 “2 And the LORD answered me:
“Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.”

So I did. I googled images and made myself a board. It was amazing as I worked on a collection of dreams and pictures how much I could feel God directing me. It was amazing that once I saw that before me things in my life felt as if they were beginning to click better than I’d seen for a long time.

On Saturday the girls, Dan and myself went miniature golfing. I enjoying going put putting but it’s something I’ve learned to laugh at myself about. I’m not good at golf. I kept hearing Dan tell the girls to keep their eyes on the hole. You know it’s funny but when I started doing this, my game got a little better. It still wasn’t great, but when you keep your eyes on the goal the rest of the stuff just seem to fade in the background.

I want to encourage you all to make your own vision boards. I want to encourage you to get with God and find out His will for your life. I want to encourage you to keep your eyes on Him first and then the goal. You have to know where you’re going. If you see it in front of you, then I promise you things will begin to click.

I was tagged in this video on facebook. When I saw it I cried. I think many of you are in similar places now so watch it and be ministered to like only the Holy Spirit can minister http://youtu.be/B-OebFwelVI

Remember God has awesome plans for your life.  Get excited!

....And I broke the Pickle Jar

Image
Last week my oldest daughter came running to me for help. I had just bought a new jar of pickles and she could not open them up. Surely, Mom could do it and this was going to be an easy thing. I sometimes wonder how they get those lids so tightly on jars in the factory. I was not going to pull the wimp card but I could not get that lid off. I tried banging the bottom with the palm of my hand. I saw someone do that once. It did not work. I tried twisting it, and it would not budge. I even tried getting a butter knife and breaking the seal by trying to wedge it between the lid and the jar. Nothing was working. Dan was not home and even if he was, I really hate admitting when I cannot do something like this without his help. I was going to get that jar open! Finally I took the opposite end of a butter knife and whacked at the lid. I thought a couple smacks would make the jar open, and it did. Evidently, I do not know my own strength. With the sound of breaking glass crackin

Lessons Learned In The Pruning Season

Image
  People in the church often have a misguided notion that God always operates in the timing and the way that we think He should.   His Word is quite clear that His ways aren’t our ways (Isaiah 55).   The longer I’ve been pursuing a life in the Kingdom, I realize that God is really into times and seasons.   Often one season may look totally different than another season.   Nature reflects this so well.   Winter and summer may look completely different, but they each serve a purpose.   It’s important to discern those seasons.   The sons of Issachar understood this too (1 Chronicles 12:32). It’s important to trust God in those seasons and be able to recognize that God is faithful no matter what a situation may look like.   We often like to talk about the exciting season.   We all want to hear words about harvest and the manifested promises.   We all love to hear stories of the faithfulness of God.   What about the season that things appear dry and dead?   What about the seasons where

Don't Fall For the Fake Jakes!

I hope all of you had an awesome Resurrection Weekend! He is Risen!! Several weeks ago I had someone claiming to be T.D. Jakes begin communication with me on twitter. At first I brushed him off thinking there was no way he was the real T.D. However this individual was persistent. We began exchanging a few direct messages back and forth. He then proceeded to invite me to go with himself and several other ministers over to Japan to preach over there. That was when I told him to email me at my website email. The conversation continued. At first I didn’t believe at all this was the real T.D. Jakes. However the more we exchanged emails the more I really thought it might. His phrasing on how he worded things sounded like the real T.D. The text emails were coming from Texas, and it was obvious this man spent a long time familiarizing himself with T.D. and his website because of the way he wove legitimate things about the real T. D. into the conversations. This went back a forth for several we
