Today I sat down with a lady who does vision mapping. I was dreading it to be honest. She takes information from your whole life history, your dreams, your past jobs, your passions, and finds the common keys.
I was scared to meet with her because I did not want to be boxed into anything until I receive God's call for my next mission. I thought it would be bad to define things too concretely. I expected my desire to be less definite would bother her.
Turns out, that's exactly how she prefers to work. We kept things open and still learned about my strengths and priorities. She said that many people come to her with expectations that she will tell them exactly what they should do next. She was happy to show me my life patterns and leave my life in God's hands. As was I.
There are two specific existing ministries it appears I will fit into well. She is going to arrange for me to visit both of them. There are also 3 people she met with over the past few days who, strangely, are looking to do what I am, but can't do it alone. I told her I would prefer to work with an established group, but I am open to meeting those people as well.
At the bottom of my heart, my greatest hope is that I will serve through my church. I need to speak with them more about how full time that could be. God knows the desires of my heart. All I have to do is pray about it, continue to follow my Pastor's plans for me, God's plan for me and stay open to everything that comes my way. What a great place to be!
