the importance of 7 years ago...

January 2010 is over.

I can honestly say last month was life changing! From the cleanse I started on January 1st all the way to the very end on my birthday, it was been a great start to 2010!

I feel like so much was packed into 31 days! How can so much change in so little time? I believe beginnings say a lot about what is to come and right now I'm very excited! I know I've said it before but the last few months there's been a new anticipation in my spirit that is feeling released!

Today a good friend of mine, who works for Apple, let me use her 25% discount to order my new computer and accessories. (If you want to know the story on what happened to my old stuff, read here) It has been a year and a half of waiting, which makes this week so much sweeter!  I'll be paying for everything cash-in-hand!  The camera will have to wait for now, but in due time. 

Alot is happening right now and one thing is I am starting to help my brother and sister-in-law with their new company, Greenovation Builders, and doing a lot of the social media side of things.  It is already so much fun working with them, networking with others, facing all the technological challenges that are new and needed and then knowing I'm learning a new skill.  Fun could be an overstatement in the future, but for now the excitement of doing something new that I consider somewhat play is exciting!

But recently I was talking to a girl about how 7 years ago I had this director I was working under ask me what I wanted to do in the future.  It was such a tiny glimpse at the time, but I told him I wanted to work with organizations or ministries helping advertise for them and getting them support (also known as marketing).  At the time I was doing some small graphic design projects and could see myself doing brochures and pamphlets for them to be able to give out to people; working toward this effort, but a couple years later was when my desire for photography was drawn out.  I then could see how that same vision for working with ministries and organizations must really be about doing photography for them.  It must.  And now, 7 years later, I wish I could say I have it all figured out, but I don't.  I just know that what I'm starting to do for my brother's company sure fits what I spoke 7 years ago. 

Well a couple weeks ago talking to this girl she told me that there have been many prophetic words about remembering the things that happened in 2003 (7 years ago).  The visions and dreams God established, the prophetic words given and anything else of significance that happened that year.  That was the same year I spoke out that dream in my heart to that director.

Here's just a couple other things of slight importance that happened that year:
1) I went on my first international mission trip overseas
2) I almost died of malaria
3) I spoke out this dream in my heart
4) I wrote my first song

Ya, just a few minor things happened in 2003. 

Well I've been thinking and praying about these things and asking the Lord what He wanted to pinpoint from it all-thinking ya, there was a lot that happened that year, but really, it was seven years ago and maybe I'm reading into it more than I should.  So then yesterday my friend went to place my order to get my new labtop and other accessories to replace those that were stolen a year and a half ago...also part of the tools needed to really pursue some of my dreams... and when she got to the end she said, ok the total comes to $2003 exactly.  Coincidence?  Possibly... but... I'm going to take it as my confirmation of the importance of that year and all that God spoke and did in my life that  year...AND that the timing is NOW to restore and start putting those things into tangible evidence!  That's what I'm believing!

Yes...a lot has happened in January 2010. 

2010 you have me puzzled but utterly excited!
