Good morning folks!! It’s Saturday morning and what better way to spend it than being in bed. I know it’s been a while since my last post and we are already halfway in January. I hope the year that was 2017 treated you well and that you are hopeful for 2018.
I don’t do resolutions but I do vision and prayer casting (as I call it) for the new year. I spend time praying and reviewing what the Lord has given me and directed me for the current year and what His direction would be for the following year.
2016 was a year of promise while 2017 was the year of breakthrough for me and my family. 2017 was the year God taught me a lot about love, hope, and generosity. It was an emotional year too since we lost our dad but through it all God’s favor has been upon us. There were a lot of unexpected blessings that dotted our 2017 not just financially that I am truly grateful for.
I am declaring that 2018 will be the year of fulfillment for us. This is the year of daring faith – to believe that the impossible can happen, for dreams to manifest in reality, and promises to come to fruition they are already YES in Christ (2 Corinthians 1:20).
Personally too, I want to be more intentional in the way I live my life, as a wife and mom, my relationship with my family, friends, and others so I can pursue a meaningful life driven by God’s purpose.
What are you hoping for that you think will not happen? Have a candid conversation with God and dare to believe it can happen.
For me, I have always desired to become an entrepreneur, have my own website, write my own book, and to become a public speaker. I am putting them out here as my first step of faith. I have been very vocal to others that I want to have my own business and creating my own website but not about public speaking and writing my own book. I am saying this to encourage you to boldly believe and take a small step of faith to get you started.
Financially I don’t have the funds yet to jumpstart my business nor am I creative enough to design my own website but I know they will happen this year. As for the other two, my greatest barrier is that I think no one will ask me to speak or that I have what it takes to write a book that is worth reading to someone.
BUT I am daring to believe these can happen and I am taking the bull by its horns because it is time to take action and follow these dreams that God has placed in my heart. I am more than hopeful! I am expectant and I want to share this with all of you to get you started as well.
Join me in this unexpected journey and believe things can happen beyond our wildest expectations. Let us soar high and believe no matter how young or how old we think we are.
Let us share our experiences so we can also embolden others to do the same. Send me your story at vianwheatley@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.
