Every year I write in my journal specific things the Lord is saying to me for the year.
This year my friend Francesca put all the words she heard for her in a poster frame. I thought the idea was a brilliant one, so I copied her! You know what they say, copy, is the highest form of flattery! Of course mine is specific to me, I actually found an old frame at the thrift store and did mine in a 3 dimensional format. I glued on fabric flowers, an old key, buttons, a glass bauble with the Foursquare emblem, as well as all the words I cut out from old magazines. I hung it above my desk and I get to look at it every day. It is a constant reminder of what He is calling me to, and who He says I am. I like that it is out in the open for me to reflect on, I have been more focused as a result. What is the Lord saying to you? Has he said things to you this year that you need to capture? This is such a great idea, I am even going to do a family one. This way we all are clear what our family identity is, and what the Lord is calling us to do together. It actually is quite freeing, when opportunities come my way I go to my board and check to see if it lines up with what the Lord is asking of me this year. I encouraged the homeschool moms to do this, as it really defines who you are and what you are called to do as a woman of God. Sometimes we forget we have a life outside of schooling our children. Go ahead, start clipping those words, you might find something out about you that you didn't realize! Blessings
