When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?""Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit," Elisha replied. "You have asked a difficult thing," Elijah said, "Yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours - otherwise not." 2 Kings 2: 9-10
Any athlete that I have ever seen interviewed has talked about visualization as one method of achieving their goal. The vision board I'm assembling is one way of visualizing the result I want. Seeing it my mind is another way. But if you're not sure what you want to visualize, you can't very well do it, can you? How do you visualize something intangible?
The lack of a goal feels a bit like a boat that is drifting at sea. The sails are drooping just waiting for the wind that will carry the boat to places unknown before. If the wind picks up but the boat doesn't have direction, it will just go around in circles. Ah, now there's a visualization! It's making me a bit seasick!
I'm happy to let God drive the boat. I'm just waiting for the winds to pick up.
