I’m in Winnipeg Canada right now getting ready to train over 1300 educators, administrators and support personnel. As I reflect upon all that I have encountered while pursuing my vision, I sat back and pondered about how I managed to press through so many unexpected challenges. When God gives you a vision, he rarely gives you the details. So, while you know where you desire to go, you don’t have a step by step blueprint. Even if you do, it is your blueprint. Trust me, I believe in planning, but I have been around long enough to understand that you will encounter a few surprises as you journey towards fulfilling your destiny.
If I had to give a really brief answer to the question that I pondered this morning, it would be determination. Of course it takes more than determination to achieve a big goal, but without determination, your chances of success are slim. I know without a doubt that I am here because I refused to give up, even when I REALLY wanted to.
It is when you feel tired, frustrated and ready to throw in the towel that you literally determine whether or not you will achieve that big goal that you have set for yourself You are going to have challenges, experience rejection and wonder if your dream is worth it. I can tell you that it is worth it. And guess what, I have not arrived yet! I have not even experienced a fraction of what God has in store for me and neither have you!
Until next time….
God Bless,
Dr. Jessica Houston
