What are you believing God to do for you that you can't see happening?
A few years ago when I became a recruiter, my boss at that time taught us that when we really want something, we can't just think about it, we have to literally see it happening everyday. I, at that time, wanted to pay off a significant amount of credit card debt. So I took a picture of a credit card from the internet, hung it up in my cubicle, along with the amount I was determined to see paid off. Every day that I made my calls, I had that picture in front of me challenging me to make that placement. That year I wrote a check and paid that debt off. Why? Because there was something I wanted to see happen and needed to put a picture with the goal to remind me even when I wanted to give up or felt discouraged to keep pressing. That gave me a vision for this article. You see, at the time this article is being written, there is another thing that I want to see happen and in my mind and heart I can see it happening but it was time I began to physically put something in front of me that will make me P.U.S.H (pray until something happens). I want my nursery to be filled with the cries and laughs of our baby boy. Since his birth, I have struggled to go into the nursery because my heart would hurt because he wasn't here and it seemed like an empty place to the point I couldn't even pump in there. But this morning something stirred me and as I sat there God said, "Laura it is time." I Began to cover this nursery as if he is already here. This place will soon be filled. So I took a picture to remind me to stay strong, stay focused, God is working and I have to PUSH. There will be pain before the promise. Today I go back to the question: What are you waiting to happen that God hasn't done yet? Maybe it's to be debt free, have your marriage restored, you're single and desire to be married, you have a sick child you want healed, or you are struggling to conceive and want a child. Whatever it is, I want to encourage you to take a photo of that thing that you have visualized to happen and began to knock on God's door till he moves and answers you. He is waiting on you.... Mark 11:22-24 New International Version (NIV) “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
