a speaker or my microphone until we were already live and i'm like oh wait
hang on guys you're not gonna be able to hear a word i say so anyway good morning how are you uh
here we go what i'm talking about right now is uh how i make my vision board and have to keep
remaking it because the stuff comes true so i'm gonna give you just my little system my little
process for how i do it and just to give you some inspiration on making one yourself i know
whenever i first heard of making vision boards i was like okay like how is that supposed to work
and um like some sort of magic or something and uh also i don't have time to be like i'm not i'm not
the artsy girl i don't know if you know that about me you probably do i'm not the artsy girl i'm not
the creative one that's what i i am like systems processes ones and zeros i am like strategy
right i'm that and then i'm just like a lot of goofball aside from that but i'm not the
create i'm not gonna make things pretty for you i can't like it's not my thing right and so when
i thought of vision boards immediately i counted myself out because i was like that is not me right
and so what i want to show you guys is even if you're not creative but most of you are but even
if you're not creative and you're like me i'm just going to give you the system that i do for
mine right now i don't treat a vision board like it is the reason things happen so i think that's
the first and foremost thing that we need to understand here i don't treat a vision board like
because i put it on the vision board it magically is going to appear that's not how i treat it
for me that's weird for me as a christian that's weird to say here's this thing that i'm going to
make happen myself you know or because i've made this thing it is going to happen and that's not
like to understand on a fundamental level that's not that's not how i approach it the way that i
approach my own vision board and yesterday last night danelle sherry poiont nora and i all sat
around the dining table and we made our own vision board so nora even made our own vision
board it was really fun so which it's just so fun but anyway the way that i approach it very
first step is i pray about it again as a christian this is what i do it's what i do with everything
anything that is important in my world and even things that do seemingly are not important i pray
about i pray about everything everything right all day long i'm in communication
with my creator always and forever it's always the case right i'm always praying and so
what i would suggest for you guys that are the praying sort is before you even get you know
started on the vision board i keep looking over at it that's why that's what i keep looking at is
i've got mine right over there before you even do it pray over it pray for a vision
that's something that i pray for often give me the vision give me your vision give me
give me an understanding of and that's not to say you're gonna know everything and whatever but i
just pray for vision of what it's okay for me to know right now give me the inspired vision give it
to me in a way that i understand that this is for me you know and that's the kind of communication
maybe i just need to kind of do a caveat here or a side conversation here that's how i pray
i think maybe some people feel like prayer needs to be this regimented
this is how it goes and blah blah blah and i suppose that's okay
i really i have conversations right in jesus name i have conversations all day and it's and it i i
talk in the same way that i talk to you guys right now like it's just very flowy and conversational
right and so i asked for vision first give me give me the dreams i'm supposed to have
give me the the goals give me the heart for people the heart for what i'm supposed to be doing where
and this is something i always say where i can't not see it and all the grammar police are like why
didn't she just say my ears are bleeding i need to see it where like i can't not see it you have
to make it so obvious for me make my heart just bubble up for this thing that you want me to do
make it just so doggone obvious that this is mine and that this is my path that that's that's what
i'm going to be putting on there and so i do that prayer over my vision board before i even make it
and then you go and you grab magazines pertaining to the different you know goals that you have
and that sort of thing and then whenever you are actually making the vision board
it's it's just you grab it's it's almost it's really it feels very supernatural
whenever you see a picture it's almost like that's it that's the one right and then you
grab it and you put it on there and uh i have pictures of mine or i pictures on mine of
like retreats that we'll have because we're doing retreats now uh i have
like a vacation that i want to take with my team with my admin team
i have rooms that i want to have in my house like one of them is a wall of books
all the way up to the ceiling with one of those ladders right one of them is
a uh i got a magazine that had women of the bible and so we passed around the women of the bible
magazine and we all picked a woman that we're going to use as as who we want to show up as
and i chose esther and so esther is in the center she's in the middle i have the words faith i have
the words trust i have some quotes on there i have some goals and this all is built around
what i believe is god's will for my life now could that change yeah of course absolutely but when i
prayed for vision and this is the stuff that came up and i got and i put it in there that's
good enough for me right now okay and then how to handle your vision board is to pray over it daily
to pray over what it means daily because a vision board in my opinion opinion excuse me shouldn't be
i want to have this house and i want to have this pool and it shouldn't just be stuff not
that it can't be stuff i'm not saying there's any wrong anything wrong with stuff until it
comes before god if you like stuff more than god you've got i mean there's you know there's
there's an issue there but it shouldn't just be stuff it should be in my opinion it should be
how you see your impact in the world how you see
what you want to do and how it plays out like how you affect people's lives there it is so really
you're looking forward into the impact you have on people's lives and you're putting pictures of that
right you're putting pictures of like for me happy families and pictures of um people just living
their own dreams and people living fearlessly like for me and for you what would that be
you know because what we're doing is we're praying over this daily but we're not just praying for us
to get our stuff and i think that's what the i want i really really want for people to get that
at least out of what i say and how i feel about it we don't just pray to get our stuff
we pray to live out our purpose
we pray to live and and get the impact give not get give the impact into the world that we
are designed for right that's the stuff that we're praying for
and so just i wanted to maybe reframe what a vision board means to me anyway but reframe for
you that is making a vision board maybe we start thinking about it in different ways rather than
here's all the stuff i want instead of like here's some stuff i want there's nothing wrong with that
but also here's the impact i want to have here's here's how many people i want to impact i have
that on there right here's the way i want to do it here's what i want my life to be
like i even have gardening on here for those of you that know about me i i don't garden
my voice even shook saying that i don't garden currently somebody gave me a plant on christmas
and i was like oh that's not nice because i kill plants not for fun but just because i am who i am
cancel clear don't kill them anymore because i got a plant on christmas and not only is it
still alive but it is growing and so i realized that i can keep plants alive like this is so
silly you're probably like really martha they require water and i get that i get that but
now i'm like oh i could garden i could garden i could create some box gardens
i could be able to do some landscaping and i really feel like that's going to be a fun
outlet for me is working with plants because i really love this plant
just leaves but i really love this plant you know and and again i know it sounds silly but that's
another thing that's on my vision board is this big beautiful what is that i don't know what kind
of plant it is it looks like maybe a hydrangea tree but it's it's a big beautiful potted
hydrangea tree and i'm like ah i would love that i would love to be able to do that and and so i'm
going to be that's going to be a thing that you're going to be seeing from me not a lot i'm not going
to talk about a lot but it's going to be something that i'm going to be spending some time on because
it's just i'm looking for things guys i'm looking for things that bring me quiet time for me
in my life and where i'm at right now i serve and i serve and i serve and i serve and i love it it's
it is me on a cellular level is living in service that's my thing and i love it and i love it
i also require quiet time and i don't want quiet time sitting on the couch i want quiet time
growing some plants i want quiet time to be outside i want to hear the birds i want to be
in god's creation right i want to be working with god's creation i don't want to be inside in a box
anymore and so that for me that's why it's on my my vision board is because that's how i see
the future for myself and so anyway i'm not going to get too long-winded about this but hopefully
i was able to help reframe things for you and if you guys are putting up your vision boards
put them in the comment section i would love to see pictures of your vision boards
show them show them to us so cool so cool um eric growing in garden is very fulfilling i'm
missing my big garden and i'm looking forward to getting back to growing the food my family eats oh

done to create the impact that is needed for others guys if you need to write that down
