Why “Vision Run Publishing”?
The name for Vision Run Publishing comes from the scripture verse Habakkuk 2:2 in the Old Testament. The story behind the name reminds us daily of how God answers our prayers when we least expect it.
During a time of transition and seeking, Vision Run Founder, Debbie Patrick, heard a clear message from the Lord about what He was calling her to:
After two consecutive days of my friends suggesting I write (which I had politely declined, telling them I wasn’t that kind of writer), I sat down in the big comfy chair in my bedroom to have my quiet time. I opened my Bible, and as if highlighted in bold type, my eyes fell immediately on Habakkuk 2:2, which says, “Then the Lord answered me and said: Write down the vision; Make it plain upon tablets, so that the one who reads it may run.”
It’s a good thing I was sitting down, or I might have dropped my Bible. I didn’t even know there was a book called Habakkuk. But there he was, inquiring diligently of the Lord and waiting for an answer. Just like me. Loud and clear, just as I’d requested, God seemed to be telling me to write. I still wasn’t sure exactly what to write, but I knew without a doubt after that morning that I was going to write. Legitimately, profusely, and for His glory.
