I am excited for the next few weeks as our church begins to meet in a new facility. I am reminded of the importance of destinations in life. All too often we end up somewhere by accident. This happens for many reasons, but frequently it is a result of a lack of vision. We all have an idea of what we hope that life looks like down the road (1 year, 5 years and 10 years). But we often fail to commit to the vision of our life and pay the necessary price.
"Life is a journey. As you know, every journey has a destination. Not just heaven and hell, but your destination in this life. Where you will end up in the various roles you play; what you will accomplish personally, professionally, domestically and spiritually.
Everybody ends up somewhere in life. A few people end up somewhere on purpose. Those are the ones with vision. They may have other things going for them as well. But they certainly have vision. Not necessarily a vision (singular). Vision for each of the key roles they are assigned along the way.
Life is a multifaceted journey. It calls for a multifaceted vision. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have multiple visions for your life. That is, you have a mental picture of what you want the various arenas of your life to look like down the road."

From the Book Visioneering
Over the next few weeks (on Sunday mornings as a church)we are going to be discussing how to gain a vision for your life and pay the price to make it a reality down the road. I hope that you will come and be a part regardless of your church background.
