I often find myself somewhere in a far away land dreaming and imagining about being preggers or what our little footsteps is going to look like or all of a sudden jumping up out of my chair and running around the room. Then something brings me back to reality and I carry on about my business brushing off my silly imagination.
However, we had a visiting speaker at church on Sunday (Ps Kevin Forlong) and his message was titled ‘The Power of Imagination’ and it was about how we think in images and pictures not words. If someone says to you ‘dog’ you don’t generally think or see the word ‘dog’ but you will have an image of a dog in your mind.
God has designed us to have imaginations and to see images in our minds. These can be good or bad and we need to make sure that the picture we carry in our hearts is reflective of what God wants. God wants to capture our imaginations and put an image into our hearts and develop it. Ps Kevin shared that you can’t have faith for something you can’t see so it is good for us to imagine….as long as it lines up with God and His Word.
I trust that God has put these images into my heart and I will continue to imagine and visualise those things that I am believing God for……which brings me to a previous imagination session I was having just a couple of weeks ago as I was decorating a baby shower cake for a friend….My Baby Shower…oh how I can’t wait. I was busy planning and thinking about what kind of theme I might have….little buzzy bees or cute elephants, bunting and balloons, silly games and giveaways, the guest list and of course the CAKE….how am I going to choose what style cake. There are sooo many gorgeous cakes and I LOVE to make and decorate cakes, it’s a little hobby that my amazing sister brushed off onto me.
Here is the ombre ruffle cake made for my friend:
Well thanks for reading my friends an let those imaginations run wild with images and visions of all things good.
