:: Checkpoints in life ::
People talk about dreams, goals and visions but not everyone can see that far so that is why there are short term goals which is something i'd like to call, 'checkpoints in life'
I remember during my leadership camp in OCS's Common Leadership Module, there was this compass course where we had to navigate from a point to another particular point with given only the azimuth and distance n using only a compass and pacer to reach the destination. The path wasn't a horizontal nor a clear path but rather filled with many obstacles like trees, branches, slopes, and muddy ground... So in order to get to the end point, we had to point our compass at a particular dominant object with the given azimuth and walk towards in, despite high or low, despite deviating left or right from the straight path, as long as we reach the pointed object, we continue to point to another object until we reach our destination.
Sometimes achieving our dreams is also like that, sometimes the end just seems to far to be seen, especially when our view right in front of us is a blur, sometimes walking straight seems impossible. But what if we had checkpoints in life, would our path be easier to walk?
This was exactly what happened to me...
I was walking down the road of my life until I reach one of these junctions where i had to make some very impt choices. At one point in life, i made a choice and my world suddenly turned dark, i could no longer see the path i was walking on so i continued to walk... aimlessly for some time...
Then i realise i'm wasting my time yet i was helpless as i could no longer see my finishing line clearly, i felt lost and alone... so i stopped and prayed for a direction, a sign... Then God gave me dreams... At first I didn't know what these dreams meant, but now I know, that they're actually checkpoints in my life that God has made known to me to reaasure me of the direction I am going despite the blurry and dark path ahead of me...
From my prophecy, my destination is to be a leader of many who are younger and weaker than me. But to reach there, I have to go through a training of some sort, and also I have to give up something I'm holding onto for a very long time so God can give me something similar but bigger so I can use it to protect these people.
Now, for the checkpoints in life that God has placed are the dreams that comes true... Firstly would be going OCS, next is Commissioning Parade... I dreamt of looking at my hands in these white gloves, standing on concrete ground then looking into the audience, I see many flashes of light... I could feel the happiness in me that very day that is to come... it felt very very very real...
Exactly 9 months from this day, my dream will come true... 13th sept 2008 will mark one of the greatest day of my life... It is not only the day when boy becomes man but also into honorable officers and gentlemen... It will be the day I bring Honor to my parents and Glory to God!
Cell members if you're reading this, pls make that day free because I'm inviting all of you to attend this grand amazing day!
Cos we are family!! Amen!
One more thing, Dear God, I pray you would shine some light on the path of my dear brother, YT, for he too is lost on where to go. Give him a clearer direction like how you have shown me... Thank you for hearing my prayer, In Jesus Christ precious name I pray, amen...
