5 Build houses and dwell in them; plant gardens and eat their fruit.
25 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob. 26 And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.” ’ ”

Your Life is a testimony.
Your life is not a joke, it’s a gift.
In order to grow we have to look back.
As disciples, we look back so that what is behind us does not show up in front of us at the worst possible moments, like a moments of our great success.
We do not look back to be limited but rather to overcome and show the Glory of God.
I hope you are taking some time asking the Lord in prayer what He wants you doing.

End of Rabbit trail.
Remember what we where talking about a few minutes ago ? visions, even ones that come from God, take work, hard work takes time.
2 Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.

it takes time to have what we feel like we want out of life.
I have to realize to get where I’m trying to go I’m going to do the opposite of what I did in my old life. My old life was instant gratification.
Part of my maturity process is learning to think long term.
