HMM...THIS BUILDING STARTED OFF IN OUR MINDS! DREAMS, VISION, IDEAS!



Here is a follow up on the last building you saw in my post.

DO YOU HAVE A DREAM, A VISION OR AN IDEA?
Have you ever wondered how a building would turn out if there were no architectural drawings for the proposed structure? I would hate to imagine what it would look like, and if it were a residential apartment, I would not want to live in that type of a house, trust me! If it were a mud hut would be a story for another day (no architectural drawings back in those ancient days I guess!)   How  many of us have dreams, visions, or ideas in our heads? They might very much remain in our heads for years and years if we do not seek to do something about them.

It needs to be put down, on paper! In the Bible, God told Habakkuk to write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets (they wrote on tablets in ancient days). In modern times this would of course mean writing down your plans on paper or getting them drawn (if it's something artistic like a house). It would also mean writing down a business plan if it is a business idea. I know some of us would love to hate taking these steps but...this is what helps to put flesh on the things in our minds so that we can see the ideas or dreams and other people can see them too and work with us where necessary. If you are a Christian, at this point you can bring these pen on paper ideas to God and tell Him exactly what you have there so that He can direct you and you need to trust Him to.   

Writing things down absolutely helps you not to forget the stuff you ought to remember, your actions can follow an organized process and your chances of getting stuck in the middle of the process is minimized because you have not left out important details! If you are getting married for instance, it helps to put down the things you need to do as they come to mind, so that, you don't forget for instance, to arrange for who will handle your car decorations. You organize your to dos in order of their priority and you can tick them off as they are accomplished.

RUN WITH IT.
God also told Habakkuk (well, people don't bear names like this anymore; I want to believe so anyway). As I was saying, God told Habakkuk (gosh, I couldn't even spell the name right. Thank God for the technology of spellchecker). Yes he told Him to run with the written idea. Running here means to take action. You might have gotten an architect to draw out your building plan or gotten a business professional to help you with your business plan or like me you might have penned or drawn out your ideas (a design idea) in a note book. This would help you see the reality of your idea. Please don't forget to run along with God as you take action, don't run and leave him behind because, guess what! God is the originator of good, great, worthy and noble dreams, visions and ideas! So please let Him run with you (all the way o)!
Running with your written dream also means making inquiries about who or what can help you actualize your dream, identifying what things you need to make your vision happen, learning about your chosen idea or heart's vision, finding out if you can get mentors in the field, directly or indirectly (you can choose to be mentored by reading the books your chosen mentor wrote, listening to their sermons or seminars, you might also wish to study their works.).

DON'T WRITE IT OFF!
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE SOMETHING GOOD IN OUR HEADS THAT WE WANT TO DO AND WE SIMPLY AND FATALLY WIPE OUT THE IDEA, by saying 'I have not enough money or I do not have money at all'. You know what? Necessity is the mother of invention! Let's say you want a fabulous textured wall paper on your kitchen wall and find that it is way out of your current budget or that there is no space for it at the top of your priority list. However, you might be an artist or have some creativity inside of you, or you remember that you have an artist friend who can for a token or no fee at all simulate (get something close to, even if not exactly the same as, or maybe better than) the design you wanted by painting it on your wall. Voila! The budget is lower and you might actually start to get referrals from people, plus, your kitchen wall is looking great! You can put your idea down on paper or get a creative friend to do it for you, then look for a neighbourhood painter with/or an artist friend to help actualize the design. Let not money stop you! Work with what you have, innovate or get people to believe in your dream so that they can help you out with their skill, money, or time. You would be surprised at what you could get!!!

IT TAKES TIME!
God also told Habakkuk that the vision is yet for an appointed time. Dreams and Visions take time to be accomplished. In other words, do not expect that everything will just come to reality overnight. Some life's dreams and visions are realized as you live your life every day, just like the Christian race which is not a hundred meter dash but a lifelong race in which certain things need to be accomplished at certain times and seasons. I WOULD WANT TO SOUND A LOUD NOTE OF WARNING THAT SOME DREAMS, VISIONS, AND IDEAS NEVER COME TO REALITY, BECAUSE THE DREAMER DREAMT, THE VISIONER SAW, THE IDEA WAS CONCEIVED BUT ABSOLUTELY NO ACTION WAS TAKEN TO BRING ANYTHING TO REALITY OR ACTUALIZATION!!!!!!!!!Okay, don't look the other way, I won't too because most of us dunnit one way or the other. We neglected our dreams our visions, we let them die. Wake up! Oh sleeper and take ACTION!!! (and that goes to me too.)

A FULFILLING WEEKEND!


I often wake up Monday mornings feeling dissatisfied with how I have spent my weekend. Monday morning I have to be at work and that means whatever I did not achieve that weekend would likely have to wait till the next weekend. However, weekday nights can be so tiring, it takes an effort to squeeze in some of those undone chores especially those clothes I choose to wash myself because I want them still looking  bright and new after they have been washed!
These days, I am beginning to believe that there should be a term called 'weekend fulfillment'. Does it exist and can I get some of it. It would be nice to wake up Monday mornings and say ,Yes! It is Monday morning!I am refreshed and good to go! I did all my chores, outsourced the ones I needed to,spent quality time with family,attended my cousin's wedding, went to church.........
How on earth can weekends be fulfilling?Somebody help! Ideas anybody?
Yes, I do realise that people work weekends too. So, what is your fulfilling weekend like?

BUSY DAY



Its been a busy day, but thank God its Friday!
Is your job a fulfilling one?Do you see yourself doing what you are doing today in let's say five years time?
Is job fulfillment a reality or a far away dream?Have you experienced it?Can it be experienced?
What could be  the result of an unfulfilled work life on your well being?What is the percentage of  people who really love what they do?
