The power of your vision...In Honor of Robin Lynn

I remember the first time I understood what having a vision meant. I sat in a transformational class that had my vision crystalized. That was all possible because of another women’s vision. Her vision for people to get that they matter and when they got that they mattered they would contribute. You see what I had to learn was mattering was a choice and some where along my 23 years (at that time I was 23) on earth I choose not to matter. Matter fact there was a point in my life where I choose death could you believe that?! At 23? How bad could it have been? Robin Lynn knew and understood the power of mattering and how the world would shift if people knew that they mattered. Me mattering lead me to South Africa with just a vision, no agency, no funds, but a vision to support and be what ever is wanted and needed for the villages and communities of this country.

You see as agents of change we are sometimes overwhelmed with our visions. Sometimes they are so big that they scare us into withdrawal, depression, scarcity. It is not vision alone, but what we do with our vision. My vision was so big that it forced me into anger, depression, sadness. Almost to a point where I contemplated ending my life. However, one woman’s vision changed my perspective had me figure out who I needed to be to reclaim life, to welcome love, to BE love. Because what I was missing was love. God was clear that I could not fulfill his mission, his vision without love so he introduced me to Robin Lyn’s vision.  You see service takes work…when I am on the ground miracles do not happen overnight, mentorship takes time. My Momma was introduced to me at age 16 and now 10 years later she is still working with me and my craziness (really I was a lot); nevertheless, I am CLEAR she had a vision, and her unconditional love saved me. And three years later I am here living my vision for the world through Robin’s vision for the world and Sheena Wright’s love for me. Powerful right? Ripple affect.

My vision consists of a global agenda of economic development, social justice, and empowerment for ALL. That vision is still a HUGE vision; however, my strategy to achieve it is completely different. At first I thought I needed to take the load on by myself; however, what I learned is that if I teach others to be change agents within their communities some sort of ripple affect would take place. Even through this blog the vision is that you are inspired to serve in your community or any community….some form of contribution. These worldly issues of poverty and mass destruction are MY issues. However, I do not have to do it alone. Jesus only needed 12 disciples and look what was created?! I follow an each one teach one mentality and guess what….most of the time I am a student. Where in your life can you step into your vision regardless of your circumstances?

Thank you Robin Lynn for your vision.
