"When you see the tassels, you will remember and obey all the commands of the Lord instead of following your own desires and defiling yourselves, as you are prone to do." Numbers 15:39
Wow! I am continually blown away at how God is using things in my life to really focus on these devotions. The other day, I mentioned a photograph in a magazine that I was thinking of posting on a vision board. So today, what does the devotion talk about? "I suggest you consider putting things up in your home or office that build your faith - perhaps photos that bring back good memories or show you living life to the full." Okay, I get it!
We don't lack for photos around here. The girls' lives are well documented. My life since we had the girls? Not so much. You might think I hadn't done anything since having them for the lack of photos of me that aren't with my husband or my children or me behind the camera but there have been lots of things. I've been running my own home business for over ten years. I've worked outside my home part time doing things that were additive to our family's life like my job in childcare at the YMCA or substitute teaching at the girls' school. So I can't say that I haven't done anything while I've been technically a "stay at home mom".
But I don't think that's what the author is trying to say. I think he's really talking about this idea of creating a vision from examples when you were living life to the fullest and also where you see yourself going. So, as best I can, I'm going to start pulling pictures and clippings and whatever else I think might work for me and put them on this new vision board. Who knows where this is heading?
