Who would have thought it would take this long to blog again? Jeez! Bunmi, you definitely dropped the ball on this one, oya...turn to the wall, put up your hands and close your eyes (if you are Nigerian, that should bring back memories of how your parents disciplined you).
So why start now? Better late than never eh? Before Google decides to close the page for non-activity 😜 Actually, more because it has been on my mind for a while and now, one young lady will make my life a misery if I don't follow through (you know yourself 😏).
You are probably wondering what's with the title? Well, I thought it was easier than 'the vision'. That just sounds very spirikoko (overly religious). As my pastor says, I don't do religion, just relationship 😉
I am a firm believer in what you see matters. Why? Because what you see enters into your life. What enters into your life then enters into your heart. Your heart determines your output and that ultimately determines your life (thank you Pastor Sam Adeyemi, I have never forgotten). Even the bible says 'keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life - Proverbs 4:23'.
So what are you looking at? What can you see? Habakkuk 2:2-3 talks about writing the vision so he who sees it will run with it. You know in this new age, we are all about vision boards. Some people think it's cool, it makes you very with it, some people will claim they started it....well sorry to burst your bubble, it wasn't just invented today, remember that scripture in Habbakuk? It's one of many by the best vision board producer 😏. Do you know why people are big on vision boards? Because it gives you something visual that you can keep referring to, especially when things might be going slightly off kilter.
So for a long time, I was trusting God to get married. Yes, for me it was a long time 😜. And I remember being this woman who would have mood swings with God about marriage; one day I was totally God focussed and confessing every 5 seconds, then next, I couldn't even be bothered to ask for a toaster talk less of the husband. And then I had a dream (no, not a Martin Luther King style one *rolls eyes*). I mean a proper dream that involved marriage and I woke up half way through because at that time, I hadn't learnt the use of that do not disturb function on my phone 😡. Anyways, long story short, I dreamt the same dream twice (yes! Things like that do happen!)
You would think with getting the same dream twice, I would write it down so that I didn't forget and most importantly, so I could use it to harass God when the dream was taking a while to manifest.....no o, Olubunmi took 5 months, yes, 5 months to write it. But you know what, because it was of God, I remembered every detail down to what fabric I was wearing.
Fast forward YEARS later, I am going through my journal and I see the vision; one of the many times that I have seen it in those years and this time, I smile 😊. Why? Because the 'vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end, it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarried wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry'.
So what do you see?
