God has my heart locked in as I am preaching through the book of Nehemiah for 13-weeks. While I am studying that and then going through preparing for this Commencement Message God gave to me last week, I have been thinking so much about vision. So much about dreaming about the future and God’s will and intention for us. God uses all things to move along and I am convinced this subject today will encourage you to become all God wants you to become in your life. So let’s get started today!
