Day 12: Vision

I'm definitely struggling with "vision" today - I feel like I am recycling a lot of thoughts that I had for "see" and "wonder."

What I keep coming back to is that God has a vision for our lives - and it is a constant struggle to make our vision for our life match it.  God has given us parameters to live by, goals to meet, and accomplishments to pursue.  In the Bible there are numerous stories of people receiving dreams/visions from God - giving them direction, a clear path to follow.  I wish it was that easy for all of us - I wish I had a clear vision of where I was going and what I was supposed to be doing.  On good days when I feel like my lesson has really reached my students, or I have been extremely productive, or I have managed to be an all-star wife I do feel like I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do in this life.  But there are many more days when I question my decisions - from minute daily tasks to whether or not I chose the right career.

These are the days when we have to listen to the silence, pray for guidance, and simply do the best we can to focus the hazy picture of the path God has laid out for us.

Psalm 119:105

Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.
