Proverbs 29:18a - Where there is no vision, the people perish:
My church is in the process of moving into an newly purchased building (Only by the hand of God!!!) and yesterday, we were "homeless" so to speak. So, my pastor set up an online connection to speak to all of us last night. During his message he read this poem, and I was so inspired by it, I had to post it on my blog. This is in no way to detract from anything else he said. There were such words of faith, that I was stirred in my soul. If you need a pick-me-up this is the message for you! If you are interested to hear his message you can go to: http://www.scwclive.com/Site/Home.html
In the meantime, enjoy this poem!
I Am A Person Of Vision
By Mark Jordan
I’ve Been A Pew Warmer, A Fence Walker, A Spectator For Too Long
I’m Getting Up, Getting Right And Getting Going
I May Not See The Entire Picture, But I Do See The Picture
I Can’t Try Everything, But I Might As Well Try Something
I May Fail Trying, But I Won’t Fail To Try
I May Not Make Much Of My Investment, But I Won’t Bury My Talents In The Ground
I Will Act, Though I Receive No Thanks In Return
I Will Pray And Leave The Answer To God
I Will Witness And Leave The Response Up To The Person
I Will Smile Even Though No One Smiles Back
I Will Give Because It’s Right, Not Because I Expect Something In Exchange For What I Give
I’m Blood Bought, Word Taught, Miraculously Wrought
I Am Divinely Created, Spirit Filled, God Called And Heaven Sent
I’m Saved By Grace, Programmed To Succeed, Wired For Power And Mission Oriented
God Is My Commander-In-Chief, Christ Is My Savior, The Pastor’s My Coach, The Bible’s My Blueprint, The Holy Ghost Is My Guide, The World Is My Mission
I Will Be Immune To Criticism
Unbowed By Critics, Unmoved By Suffering, Unashamed Of The Gospel
I Will Obey Like Noah
Sacrifice Like Abraham
Fight Like David
Pray Like Daniel
Be Patient Like Job
And See God’s Greatness Like Isaiah
I’ll Even Weep Like Jeremiah
But I’ll Preach Like Peter
And I’ll Reach Out Like Paul
I Have Nothing Greater To Live For, And Nothing Better To Die For
For I Am A Person Of Vision!

You Should Post It!
There are many people who read your blog that never see mine... it's a great poem that should be shared!!! (o:
That is so cool that your pastor could arrange a 'virtual' church service during your extenuating circumstances.
That was indeed a very inspiring poem! Thanks for sharing...I'm gonna print that one out!
