(A peek at my vision board baby)
Almost a year ago to the day I was around five months
pregnant and had just found out I was having a baby girl. Hysterical happiness is how I would describe
the feeling that I felt when the doctor told us the news. Visions of leopard onesies danced in my head
as the shopping for my little princess began.
Then about a week after we got that news, we got other news, bad news. And it was like someone kicked me in my chest;
the doctor called and said something might be wrong. My baby might have something wrong with her
spine. Even now as I think about it
tears threaten to fall. We were
blindsided, what devil was this that was trying to steal our joy. We cried and we prayed and we cried some
more. Till we decided that our God was
bigger than any obstacle. We didn't tell
a lot of people because we didn't want more worry where we needed faith. So there were more tests and lots and lots of
waiting.
One day while going through some magazines I found a picture
of a beautiful brown happy healthy baby.
I took that picture and placed it on my vision board. Now I've got a lot of things on my vision
board, even a picture of Oprah, but none more important than this one. I focused on, I stared at it, and I even
rubbed it for good luck. Then we got the
call, our test results came back normal!!! I think I jumped ten feet in the air
that day. But the story doesn't end
there, after Mackenzie was born my husband and I noticed something. She looked very similar to my vision board
baby, even down to the full head of curls!
Did I pray her into existence? Maybe, whatever you believe the benefits
of having your own vision board are ENORMOUS.
So grab some magazines and get clipping, because that's when the magic
happens. I'll never be without one, now
if I could just meet Oprah.
XOXO
For a great post on creating your own vision board check out
this one by Christina of LoveBrownSugar.
Or pick up a copy of The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, I highly
recommend it.
I was skeptical about vision boarding but so many people raved about them that I made a vision board for the first time earlier this year. Sure enough, little by little, the things I posted began to come true. I'll never doubt it again.
ReplyDeleteSo happy things turned out differently than what the doctor originally told you. God is truly amazing and Mackenzie is beautiful!
Yes they are truly amazing, and thank you so much!!!
DeleteI'm such an advocate for vision boards. I actually had a vision board party last year and it was so powerful. I'll have to do it again and of course you're invited :)
ReplyDeleteYes!!! I'm so there :)
DeleteAmazing story! I believe in vision boards for the same reason, as well as speaking positive things into existence before they come. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kim :)
