I was driving this morning on the way to Sams Club (and starbucks...shhhhh, don't tell) and on my way home I was praying about life and then I started thinking about who I am in Christ. 

I looked around and saw little store, a department store, a house being built and so forth.  Every one of those structures started with a single thought, a vision.  Someone somewhere had a dream or an idea and years later it was developed.  

Take a look at UPS:

1907-1913: Creating a Messenger Service

undefined undefined  undefined undefined  At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States was about to embark on an era of transformation and innovation. America was focused inwardly on its growth, and the West was largely undeveloped. While Seattle, Washington, was fairly well-established, the city was still rife with opportunity, particularly for service-based businesses. In 1907, two teenage entrepreneurs created what would become the world's largest package delivery service. Starting in a Seattle basement with a $100 loan, Claude Ryan and Jim Casey opened the American Messenger Company. With telephones and automobiles scarce, the company fulfilled a range of tasks, from running errands and carrying notes on foot or on bicycle, to making home deliveries for drugstore customers. Their fledgling business entered a competitive marketplace, facing numerous firms that also specialized in message and parcel delivery. Already experienced in business when he began the company, Jim hired other teens as messengers, and his younger brother George joined the firm's leadership ranks. Operating under the principle of providing the best service at the lowest rates, the company prospered. Jim's steadfast commitment to reliability, courtesy, neatness, and high ethical standards helped establish the values that continue to guide UPS today.

 How about Hewlett Packard:

The 30s

	HP's first product, the 200A audio oscillator

Following graduation as electrical engineers from Stanford University in 1934, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard go on a two-week camping and fishing trip in the Colorado mountains during which they become close friends. Bill continues graduate studies at MIT and Stanford while Dave takes a job with General Electric. With the encouragement of Stanford professor and mentor Fred Terman, the two decide to start a business
"and make a run for it" themselves. Hewlett-Packard Company is founded January 1, 1939.

We all know the verse in the Bible where it states,"Where there is no vision..people perish".  What a very true statement. 

Where do I see myself?  Where do I see God taking me and what am I doing today to get there.  If I am going to be a Pastor of a church someday am I leading my family the way God wants me to, am I reading the Bible and am I allowing it to speak to me. 

We can't assume that one day we'll wake up and suddenly be that Godly man or women that we and He desires us to be.  It starts with a single thought, a vision of who we see ourselves in Christ.  Maybe we should be the ones saying..."let's make a run for it".  After all,  what do we have to loose.
