Vision

**Author’s note – this post was started back in November **

Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, It will not tarry.”  Habakkuk 2: 2-3

I was inspired to write about Vision after a book announcement during a church service several months ago.

The author of “The World Is Waiting for You”, Edwina Findlay Dickerson, was getting interviewed by the pastor of my Church.  Her book deals with manifesting your “God Dream” and creating the life you always envisioned for yourself.

During the interview, she gave a charge to everyone present, saying that we would meet up in a year’s time and see how far we have come with the manifestation of the God Dream.

I felt like she was really speaking into my spirit at the time and I was blessed with a signed copy of the book by a good friend.  I had also completed a biblical devotional “I AM a Ready Woman” from manifestHERdaily.

I was full of inspiration and drive.  I was buzzing with ideas for the memoir I have in my spirit to write, a novella that was bouncing around in my head.  It was going well, but then my old foe, procrastination showed up.

I had made the promise to myself to be diligent with my time. Confronting this storm I was in the midst of dealing with lack of employment which is forcing me to rethink what my purpose is.

Issues with my husband and daughters, the nagging fear that I am letting not only myself down, but my family, being stuck in the middle generation with ailing older parents and children competing for my time and attention.

I lost drive quickly, an old pattern.  I let myself get distracted.  I was not writing anymore, things just stalled. I was just going through the motions, each day went into the next. I was establishing back to school routines for the girls. I was able to get them into therapy to help with their mental health issues.

Then I was blessed with not one but TWO employment opportunities.  I had applied to be a home care companion back during the early summer. I submitted an online application, but had issues connecting with the hiring manager.  She reached out to me to see if I was still looking for work. I was able to go through the onboarding process easily.

I also heard from a good friend, who initially approached me for a favor.  Upon reconnecting, she opened up another  opportunity for me, one where I would be working in a Medical Office again, living my passion as a Primary Care Provider.

In the ensuing six months, I fell into a routine of actively working again, the two jobs gave me a sense of pride in the fact that I was earning a paycheck again.

So here I am again, looking to get this blog and my writing career in gear.  I am filled with inspiration. 

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
