“Where (there is) no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18.

There are several ways a person can take a vision and run with it creating their meaning. I feel that it’s important as a person to have a vision for your life. You may not know what your purpose is, or you may be on track to finding it. Better yet you have been blessing to have your purpose, and working to achieve it to the best of your ability.

Vision Boards

For those who are still waiting for it to hit you in the head like me. I think creating a vision board is a great way to get started. I was first to introduce to this idea in 2009 when my mother was teaching youth service. 

Challenging the young people to create a vision board. I feel like her tasking this project to us was to help open our eyes to all God can and will do for us if we take the limits off of him.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know when I took the project seriously, putting real thought into my vision. I started to see that there were big and grand things that I wanted for myself. I wanted to be more than a goal setting. I wanted to be a goal achiever.

It felt like the fog that was clouding my mind was being lifted off. I wasn’t just putting on my board things that I could do for myself. But things that I knew God would have to do for me.

Things I put on my vision board.

Like I stated before I had no idea the power behind having a vision because I had none yet. I had desires that I wanted, but I wasn’t yet ready to put in the work (praying, seeking God, having faith, putting the word of God on my vision) to get them. I was still trying to find my way in God.

I wasn’t versed (still a work in process) in the word of God to have faith that I can believe that God would bless me with a mate or that he would bless me to get my degree or become a homeowner (still in process). 

My faith and trust weren’t in God yet because I was afraid that he would disappoint.  I was scared that if I expand my faith in him that his words would just be empty promises. I so used of failing myself so I felt that God would do the same.  But through reading God’s word I began to change the mindset about my future and realize that because I’m a child of God, his words will never return void to me.

“so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

The word of God also says that he knew us before we’re even boring so, therefore, the visions and desire that I have or because of him. So if I see that I will be great. I’m great because God put that in me.

So I beginning to put on my board the vision of a professional woman being a business Mongol. I put a picture of a family. Of a professional man to stand as my mate. I put off the standard list for my partner on my board. A house. A person with their degree. A Church to represent my relationship with God. Health.

My mother had us label the board “All things are possible to them that believe.” She instructed us to put the board so where we could see it. Every time we thought about our board or seen or board to lay a hand on the board and tell God that “All things are possible to them that believe.”

In that process, she was teaching us on how to strength our faith. To believe you have to have faith in what your believing for. To have faith you have to trust that the outcome is going to come out in your favor.

To trust you have to give it to God and know that he is not just any ole person. That he is the true and living God and that you as his child will have whatever your daddy/father has in store for you. Which will always be his best!

Vision today sets the course for Tomorrow
