Vision Boards - Faith Boards

…They shall write a description of it with a view to their inheritance. Joshua 18:4 (KJV)

As believers in God we are called to write things down, make them plain and have faith that ‘it’ will come to pass. Notice though that there is an action involved, before inserting your faith, the action is writing it down. We are shown examples all through the word where the instruction to writing out our course, (vision, life-map, and view) is key to having a fulfilling life.

Vision Board step 1:
1. Start with 2009: When we start small, with a single year, we begin to open up our minds and space for more. Getting totally clear on the shorter term helps to evolve the plan for the long term. Focus on what you are believing God to do in 2009 for your family, business and life.

1 Kings 3:10 ... “And if you stay on course, keeping your eye on the life-map and the God-signs as your father David did, I'll also give you a long life." (Message)

What a powerful word, not sure about any of you but…I am believing for a long life and if keeping my eye on my “life-map” is part of what will bring that to pass for me, I darn well better know what that map looks like! Also, if God has given me the clear instruction in his word, and I know His word to be the living truth, whom am I to sidestep the simple action of writing out my life-map and making it plain?

Vision Board step 2:
Write it down (in whatever style is most comfortable) the vision that God has given you for 2009. You can journal, write single words, short sentences and even poems – the idea is to get it on paper.

2009 - Day 12... A Prophetic Word.

Last week, a friend sent me a prophetic word via an e-mail forward. It was a general, spirit-lead word from a woman pastor in Alaska about this year - 2009. Her name is Nancy Haney, and she believes that this year will be a year of harvest, a year of fruit of the Spirit for dedicated believers.

She believes that believers have been on a journey since 2000, leading up to 2009. Each of us have been laboring, praying, believing, working, learning, maturing, struggling, etc., for the past 8 years in various areas of our lives (business, relationships, health, finances, spiritual) and it's time for His promises to be revealed! A time to receive the harvest from our efforts!

I agree with, and receive this word from the Lord! Personally, my life has seen major changes since 2000 - New career, loss, leaving my career, joining a new church, having 2 children, moving, creating financial goals & investments, time periods of frustration, personal development, starting businesses, discovering my purpose, mentors, skill building, more loss, goal setting, using skills and talents for His Kingdom, medical reports, reconnecting with people, dreams, hearing God's voice, gaining new perspective in many areas, and so many more things. What has seemed random and scattered, is now is merging and making sense. I can look back and see how the cumulative experiences, failures, successes, challenges, opportunities, are ALL coming together for His purposes. Do you feel the same?

Those who are called according to His purposes and follow God with perseverance will see Him work mightily in their lives. It is exciting to see what God supplies to His people in 2009!

Blessings to You,

2009 Planning?

Happy 2009 Everyone,

At Koinonia Business Women, we are certain that 2009 is a year of opportunity and favor for all those who will take advantage of what God places in front of them. According to Tammy, she heard that the first 22 days of a new year will set the tone for the rest of that year. Wow - interesting thought.

At Koinonia Business Women, we have an exciting project planned for our Christian businesswomen's group meeting on the 20th. Each lady is going to create their own 2009 "Faith Board" (otherwise known as vision boards, goal boards or dream boards). Even if you are not in the South Puget Sound (Western WA) region, you can still follow what we are up to by receiving our free e-Zine called *BLING*, specifically for Christian women in business. Not only that, but we will soon be offering "Faith Board" kits so that anyone anywhere can post their dreams in a visual way.

So, what are you believing God for in 2009? Give that question serious consideration this week. Otherwise, 2009 will start to slip away without goals or vision. As we know from the Bible, where there is no vision, the people perish.

Blessings to you!
