Is there a vision?

I’ve been thinking after going to Newspring on Sunday, do I have a vision? What does it really mean for the gospel to be lived out? These questions were presented throughout the message and it really made me think. I would say that I have a vision for my life. You know, the normal.. grow up, graduate from college, get married, have kids, be a teacher, etc. But what about spiritually? These things are desires that I have for my life. But do I really have any desires for my spiritual life? I’ve been thinking about it over the past several days. I want to be different. I don’t want to be the type of person who just sits back and expects the Kingdom of God to grow on its own and 50 years later just say that I was a baptist, church going, Christian. There is more to being a “Christ Follower” than just going to church. I want break down barriers. I want to praise an Almighty God with everything I do. I want to know more about Him everyday.

I think Newspring displayed their vision on Sunday by giving to 2 families that were really in need of something. What do I want to do for people? How do I want to display the gospel in my life so that others will see me but actually see Christ? Just something to think about.
