     It's Time for Faith Boards, by Tammy Redmon

Appropriate to the beginning of a brand new year, this is a great time to get your own vision board, life-map, view and description of the course that you know you are called to follow written down.  There are simple steps to take to make the journey quite rewarding all on it's own. But first before we get too far into it, I invite you to take some focused alone time with the Lord to get your download straight from His big Daddy heart and get in tune with His vision - your inheritance. Then, follow these steps to produce what we at KBWomen call your Faith Board (which we will be doing together in Olympia next Tuesday)!

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.

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.

3. Picture it: Now that you have your outline written down in word form, start collecting pictures.  These are images that captivate, motivate, inspire, tell the story all on their own with what the words are saying.  Having images to inspire your action is key to the success of following your course.  You can go to magazines, picture books, family photos, & your own scrapbooks to bring the images together.

4. Add Color: You may be thinking in terms of blue, pink, red and yellow and how about going for Magenta, Turquoise, Chartreuse - walk on the edge, it's your time to just be creative! It's important to choose colors that empower and excite you; the color is also a mark of creativity.  It can be stickers, shapes, and textures, art elements that captivate and show a touch of you like nothing else can.

5. Put it all together! Now that you have collected your words, images, and colors and clearly received the divine download of your vision - get out the glue and scissors and get creative.  Bring it all together on one backdrop that will hold all the elements (poster board, picture frame, wall) and in no particular order just fasten the pieces together.  You may start with 2009 in large print in the center of the board and affix the images and words randomly around it.  Some people have put the main word or focus in the center i.e. Dream, Faith, Indulge, Success, Love, Hope; it is for you to choose.

Remember, there is no wrong way to create a Faith Board i.e. vision board, follow what God has put on your heart, take action and keep the view plainly in sight.  Have fun, enjoy the process and please share your success with us!
