Focus

I get bored easily. I have a vivid imagination. A bad combination.

Things kinda go from

TO:


Then I have purchased a one way ticket and I'm




The musings end up with kids and a husband. Well usually a lavish wedding actually. That darn Bella Naija

I think this sums it up.

Its so easy to get distracted from your vision, especially as a woman of a certain age, some things make you feel a certain type of way. When you look at a man's left hand, after checking out his impressive shoe game or height..or both!

At church  we were taught to "Never surrender the vision for your life".The teaching was based on 1 Samuel 11:1-11- where basically a village of Israelites was under siege from their enemies. The Israelites wanted to surrender, but the enemy would only allow it in the condition that they gauged out the right eye of every person in the village, to bring disgrace on all of Israel. The Israelites sent out an SOS to other kinfolk, Saul heard of it, got really angry and cup 2 oxen with his bare hands and went 300 on those Ammonites (the enemy).

Slaughtered them into the heat of day


Pastor Andre discussed the importance of vision:


  • Vision keeps us from giving into Satan;
  • Vision keeps us from giving into our feelings;
  • Vision keeps us from giving into sin; and
  • Vision keeps us from giving into the immediate!


Right now I have a vision for my life. Well the overall vision- apart from the specific plans which I previously discussed- is to be wealthy, a role model for people with issues and just spend my life of Gods purposes, which is usually His people!

However, these day dreams and creeping ideas are usually a cop out way of achieving half of it. Ok, ill be honest- the thought of marrying rich does flit across my mind. There I said it. Gold digger ain't I?

Alternatively I can stick to my vision, steadily create my own wealth and lay the foundation of my own empire. My vision can keep me from giving into the immediate- rather than being a girlfriend of a guy that is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I would rather be that CEO myself!

 Be the man you want to attract! (Post for another day)

 Ladies, can we learn from Floyd Mayweather and his  ex-fiancee situation?

I don't get why she left the stuff though
I don't want to be THOT that chick, and have people like 50 cent talking crazy about you!



Bottom line is, I will stick to the vision for my career, finances, health, family regardless of the immediate distractions that seem attractive. I don't want to regret anything. I want to breathe back the full life that God breathed into me!

I said " I will never surrender God's vision for my life. I will call on the King when I am besieged and weak."

Or if you want to say it like 50 cent

"I'm fully focused man, got my money on my mind, got a mill off the deal but I'm still on the grind!"

Can't believe I had a crush on this man!
