Editor’s Letter

HABBAKUK 2:2 - A BLUEPRINT FOR ESTABLISHING DIVINE PURPOSE • Habakkuk 2:2 is like a map for people who want to live the way God wants them to. When we write down our goals, understand our purpose, have faith, and make a firm decision to follow God, it helps us live a meaningful and purposeful life.

POSITIONED FOR PURPOSE: THE BLUEPRINT FOR MANIFESTING VISION IN THE NEW YEAR • In 2001, amidst the budding stage of my law career, I was stricken with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus, commonly called "Rhupus". At thirty-one years old, married with three children, I was determined not to let the diagnoses derail me. Therefore, despite the pain, I continued to do everything a "normal" person would do.

Write Your Vision • a devotional

VISION IS LIFE • There are 365 scriptures about combating fear in the Bible. Many of the scriptures encourage us to choose faith instead. I stepped out in faith and published my first book. It wasn't a bestseller, so the accuser whispered that I was a failure. However, I'm grateful, as it taught me to step out in faith, dependent upon God. I had to ask myself, "Do I stop after one failure or remain steadfast and hopeful until I succeed?"

PLAN AND BE FLEXIBLE • Ideas or plans from the Lord are usually bigger in scope than our minds can imagine. The instruction I received to produce and direct a movie that will change the hearts and mindsets of mankind toward the sanctity of life, was beyond comprehension. Films require the various stages of development to be recorded – the treatment (one sentence that describes each movie scene), screenplay, budget, and call sheet (written daily production details).

BEING PATIENT WHEN GOD PROMISES SOMETHING • Sometimes, we have to wait for things to happen in our lives. It’s like waiting for a promise to come true. In the Bible, there’s a part that talks about this. It says, "For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay" (Habakkuk 2:3, NIV).

SEVEN TIPS TO STAY THE COURSE • Tears ran down the face of my husband as he sat in a training session led by a police sergeant. He heard about the need for help for the wounded and God gave him a vision that day. From that vision, a plan took shape for beginning a ministry that neither of us knew anything about and were unprepared for. It was God’s call for our lives. Because the Lord gave the vision, he also gave the plan for something out of our comfort zone.

SURRENDER TO GOD’S PLANS • Since I was a teenager – and I’m in my 40’s now – at the end of each year, I ask God for a “word” to guide me in the year ahead. Most years, God gives me a new word and sometimes He continues with the one from the year before. Some of the words I’ve received in recent years are “rest” and “breakthrough.”
