Write, Run, Wait and It will Happen

This is has been marinating in my soul for a long time.....Hopefully, it is not way to long....for all my 2's or 3's of readers (that count may be high)
Habakkuk 2:2-3

2 Then the Lord answered me and said, Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail.
Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

For those of you who are Bible Expositors, I know the interpertation of this passage is a propehcy, but I am going to focus on the application for me. I would like to do an exercise and write the vision that I think is to come for me, and that it will come soon......

The format of this will be, The Vision, The Obstacle and What it will take to overcome that obstacle.

The Vision: To find a life's work that I either enjoy or care about, preferably both.
The Obstacle: It seems I might be stuck in the industry that I am currently employed (which is Retirement related, and I don't think retirement is really a Biblical concept (see Luke 12:16-20) Right now is not the time to be making career changes and unfortunately, my college education is causing me a great deal of frustration because there are very few options for extending my education....ah ABC, money well spent (written with even more than usual sarcasm for me......if that is possible).
The Overcoming: Well, Jesus said with man things are impossible, but with God all things are possible (he was talking about salvation, but the application applies). I intend to learn another language (espanol, and really pray about this). Life is not meant to be lived just doing something to do something......The Bible says to redeem the time, not to pass the time. I am currently seeking how to redeem my alloted time in this life.


The Vision: to be a man who really knows the Bible, and more importantly the God of the Bible (His name is Jesus).
The Obstacle: The Bible is a long read, that is written in an ancient context. Fortunately, it is a living word and the Holy Spirit illuminates the meaning. I am easily distracted and start reading everything but the Bible. Want to know any of the rosters of the Rangers, or any of there several minor league affiliates......Well, then ask me......I would much prefer that I know the Holy Word of God like I know things about the Rangers........
The Overcoming: Read, Reread, Study, Study some more, give priority to the Word. I am currently in the market for a good book on the customs of the Bible......Also, I hope to be a life long student of the Word.....I feel like I am in about Kindergarten right now....maybe one day, i will get to a junior high level

The Vision: To marry a good and godly woman, to lead her spiritually, love her like Christ loves the Church (which is to say selflessly, and without condition), to have kid or kids who grow up in a Home where they are discipled in that home.
The Obstacle: Girls, I am not good with the ladies
The Overcoming: someone else will have to tell me........I spend a lot of time studying Family driven faith, what a man should be and things along those lines.........but right now they are all just ideas in my head......I need to figure out how to put these in practice.......I think the line in the book I most identified with was from the biography of Tony Dungy, he said he was only married because someone stepped in and helped him out, if not he would probably still be single...

The Vision: This is for my current abode.........I would like to start having people over more often and serving them and finding out their story.....when they became a Christian, what are they trying to accomplish in life, How has God ordained that path etc.......
The Obstacle: Well, it does not seem like there any......I just need to start doing this.
The Overcoming: I just need to start doing this......I think July will be a good time to start, if anyone will come......we will see

The Vision: Part II for my current abode. I think once or twice a month I would like to have people over for a prayer time.....no format, no conditions, just plain old fashioned crying out before God and for one another.
The Obstacle: None really, I just need to start doing this.
The Overcoming: The same as above, I just need to take initiative and get it done......why does that word keep coming up so much lately.....initiative, initiative and initiative?????. Everything I read keeps telling me to take initiative, maybe I should take some initiative.

This seems long enough for the time being......
