As I was enjoying my first day of summer break, I was going from room to room, chore to chore just enjoying the slackness....then I decided to listen to a sermon.....and my day changed.....
The preacher was talking about the age long habit of being remiss.....He pointed out the undone things in our lives. He pointed out the great things done in life, that had nothing to do with the vision and purpose of our lives....ouch! I considered the unfulfilled dreams. I remembered the buried goals.....to do something year after year and have no vision, no end result no goal; we throw out the whole thing because "without vision the people perish"....people married 20 years who divorce! What did they expect to achieve? and never did. People who live christian lives for decades then decide that the world has something to offer after all?! Was it all a religion regiment that got too exhausting?....then I brought it home....My vision, my call? and I've realized that for 25 years I've desired to affect or influence people to the "narrow path"...I've wanted what the bible calls "fruitfulness".....and I must stay focused and remember that my life, my ways, my decisions will affect another. I cannot be remiss, I cannot live a life with out end results: without vision. I do have vision: To live my days to represent the "King of Kings" and to enlist others into his army.
I do have undone projects, my personal desires, hopes or dreams....and as I've considered "remiss" I wonder about these again....Have I been spinning my wheels and not considering these hopes?
