Vision
I've been reevaluating myself to be calibrated to the will of God. And I've been reflecting on the prophesy that was spoken into my life and on the passion that I have for helping young people. In the process of doing this, I've been thinking about the vision for the rest of my life.
When I was 22 I sat down to write out my life and God spoke to me about what I would be doing. I had a timeline of what I would be doing at different ages and for some reason I stopped at about age 32. God had blessed me to meet the goals that I had for myself and as I was approaching 30 I began to think about where I was going and I couldn't figure out why I stopped my goals at age 32. For about a year I pondered on this and it came to me: my goal was to get married around 32 and I didn't want to have a vision for my life that was going to change due to such a life alteration. However, I'm 32 and I'm not married so I've been seeking God for a direction with my life. This the reason for reflection and revisiting what God had spoke to me.
God used my Pastor to prophecy that I would help a lot of young girls. Of course my passion is to work with young people and even young girls who need guidance and assistance with decisions that they are making. I've been working on that with the job that I'm doing. Some girls have attached themselves to me and I want to make sure that I'm a good role model for them, so I'm working on my character and integrity. I also want to get into coaching because a lot of what I do involves coaching them about life. I really want to coach something that I"m good at. I think I"m going to call myself a "Career Coach" instead of a "Career Specialist."
God also used my pastor to prophesy to me that I would be training professionals. I was excited when me and a coworker prentation a workshop at a statewide conference in April. Also, I've been putting together a conference for the organization that I work for, so I"m gonna use some of my skills there.
Then I was thinking about what I'm passionate about and that is helping young people to succeed. So, I was looking at the program that I teach and tyring to see how I can structure it to help me meet my goals while pushing them to succeed.
I've created an Opportunities Program that will be used to create opportunities for young people. Some young people don't realize the potential that they have, but if they have the opportunity to open their minds they can be motivated to do better. So, I pitched an idea to my boss about sponsoring a trip to D.C. for about 24 youth for next summer. I want to open the door for them to open their minds about their life and their future. Also, for Spring Break I want to sponsor an Illinois College Road trip to help the young people realize the possibilities of college and to help them to see the opportunity that they have.
Awhile back I designed a program for 8th graders to help them to realize the opportunity of college (wow, I'm almost in tears because God is so good to me. I just realized that the reason that I realized my potential was because when I was going to the ninth grade I had the opportunity to stay on campus for two weeks at EIU to take college courses. God opened that door for me and I entered high school with a subconsciously with a goal. When I was going into my senior year I went for 6 weeks to college to take course--this time for credit. This opened the door for me to become accepted to go to school there. I realized that I want to allow these same opportunities to young people.)
I also have this desire to research young people. I want to take the young people that I serve and put them into a study and then write a book about the experiences--I really want to research girls and their choices to have sex. I want to write a book about girls who wait and why they wait and how they stay focused in the midst of the society we live in.
I want to go to school to work on my Ph. D and while doing that work on my research especially since I have the young people at my disposal.
So, when will I get married?????? I hope soon because the Bible says it's better to marry than to burn. God honors His word!!! Lord, I WANT to marry so I WON'T burn.
