January is in full swing and hopefully you are still going strong with your New Year’s resolutions.

I’m hearing crickets.

So you dropped the ball, but it’s ok. The beautiful thing about having a relationship with God is that you know that every day you have new mercies. Matter of fact every minute you can reset your intentions. You don’t have to wait until January 2019 to come for you to make positive changes in your life; you can start right now, right at this moment.

It doesn’t matter if you had a donut for breakfast with that Grande Mocha Caramel Latte, you can still change your eating habits with your next meal. It’s ok that you didn’t wake up in enough time to read that Bible passage this morning before work, you can read it at lunch time. You don’t have to be so hard on yourself, cut yourself some slack.

One way to stay focused on your end goals is to create a vision board. I am not talking about that piece of art that you put together with a picture of unrealistic goals. I’m talking about digging deep inside yourself to see who you really are and what God has created you to be.

 

There is a place inside you where your core self lives. The one that is most connected with your true purpose. The place where all things are possible because you know who you are in Christ. This is what I want you to discover and place on a board that you can see every day. Not the superficial, shallow things that will be easily forgotten like the leaf that just blew passed you in the street.

Ask yourself some deep penetrating question. What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail? What am I truly here on this earth to do? Who am I supposed to impact with my life? What type of legacy do I want to leave behind for my children and my children’s children? What is God calling me to do and how does He want me to do it?

As you began to search yourself and pray for guidance, God will reveal to you things that He has hidden in your heart. Write those things down and develop your vision board from this.

Remind yourself every day that God has a purpose for your life. Your vision board is to help keep you focused when what He has told you seems far off.

This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.           – Habakkuk 2:3 NLT
