Vision Board....

Sooo...Jan 2013 I created a vision board.

This concept may seem simple to most but it is torment for someone who lives out life’s disappointments in fear calling it modesty. Hence my first and only tattoo: BE FEARLESS. This kind of fear makes every desire, dream, and aspiration mute to the heavens with sealed lips, while small unspoken victories create an internal celebration declaring that ‘life aint all that bad’. Go figure I struggle in my prayer life. But today I am being called to ask, pray and declare every heart’s desire with no shame, guilt, or fear. This has been tooouuuggggghhhh! I laugh every time the Lord says: Why don’t you just ask?  I respond by shrugging decreeing ive come this far without “it”.lol. Yeah….Our relationship is quite unique ;). Now I tussle at night and daydream during the day as my spirit wont settle until I ask my hearts desire.  I then become irritated and ask if this is even fair that I am being forced by the spirits junction to ask for something I want but not willing to ask due to the outcome others have had. Hmmm…Lord you are funny, but Im convinced you are gonna win this fight so I think tonight ima get to asking so I can sleep.

Sooo….January 2013 I created a vision board.

This expression of displaying the desires of my heart have rendered much success and we’re  not even half way through the year. Some of the manifestations have not been a glitter of gold or little sweat off the brow but I can plainly see it being for my good and I can definitely see the hand of God moving as this leap of faith declared my reestablished trust in Him. Yep, I said reestablished J. I walk pass this vision board every day and each time I am in awe of my faith, my growth, and my God. I believe this was His way of meeting me where I was as I tend to express myself more comfortably through writing or creating but there is a greater power when I speak as the heavens begin to move on my behalf and of those that I utter. I walked pass it today and He so plainly said….now “THAT” you will verbally ask me for. I had the nerve to get an attitude and reverted to my usual shrug decreeing ive come this far without “it”. We both laughed as He and I both know…ummm,ill just leave it at that, we both know.lol.  

I thank God for my vision board, but I thank Him more for ministering to me about my desires, loving me through my fears, and ushering me into the life in which He has prepared for me anyway( as I am learning to get on board).

A vision board is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call for us to become something more.
