Waiting In The Wings

You have this clear design - clear vision of where you see yourself going.

It rains.

Suddenly the window becomes blurry and your own direction fades a bit.

All you want is for it to stop raining.

But alas, plans change because they are not ours to mold.

There is a difference between plans and destiny.

Plans are what we desire instantly.

But vision -- vision requires time.

"Visions are born in the soul of a man or woman who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be. Anyone who is emotionally involved-frustrated, brokenhearted, maybe even angry about the way things are in the light of the way they believe things could be, is a candidate for a vision. Visions form in the hearts of those who are dissatisfied with status quo.

The world is hard on vision. After all, a vision is about change. And change is not welcomed in most areneas of life. For a vision to survive, it must be mature and healthy before being exposed to the cynical, critical, stubborn environment in which it is expected to survive. And maturity requires time."
