A Vision can be likened to a dream, idea, mental picture, visualization, revelation, prophecy, foresight, imagination and/or forethought. I hope my vision for my future contains all of these. Facing a heart transplant was never a vision of mine and actually seems more like a dream than reality. However, my
vision for my future is to see a joyful destiny ahead of me.
Following, are my visions, dreams, images, mental pictures, and hopefully prophetic revelations that will come to pass in my life:
I want to sing and shout and tell the World "Look what the LORD has done." The LORD has done this and it is marvelous in my eyes and in the eyes of those around me.
I want to drive a car again, to travel again. To go back to Paris and Portugal.To take the underwater rail to London. I want to travel and see as much of the world as I want and do it often.
I still dream of being married and being a loving wife to a loving, caring, strong, yet gentle man.. Someone that I will want to follow to the ends of the earth. I still hope this is a dream, not a hallucination
Being disabled and unemployed since September 2004 has not been easy for someone who has worked since High School. I have a vision to be employed again or return to school for my Masters in Education. Who am I kidding? I have looked at many other areas in which to get my Masters Degree that would give a much better financial return.
Bottom line...I have learned that money cannot buy, give or bring me long-term happiness and joy. Doing what I love will.
I asked myself one day recently, "Rachel, what do you really LOVE to do? What do you do well that you KNOW you do well? What is your passion? My response was "teaching." So I said to myself, "Then do that." Don't worry about whether someone else may think this is prestigious enough.
Like the movie, "Field of Dreams", "If you will build it, they will come." If you will do it (what you love, whatever it is), happiness will come, joy will come, and prestige will come. The cost of pursuing your Passion?...Priceless.
