Preparing a List of Faith/Bible Journaling Prompts...

It's been a hard 3 months.  Haven't felt like writing much.  Been struggling with that as well.

Well, God has moved, and I'm working on something new.

It's called Faith/Bible Journal Prompts.

It will be prompts so that people can journal in their Faith or Bible planners/journals.

This is in response to a member of the Christian Faith Planners and Journals group that I was in.

Stay tuned for more.

Grandma’s Hands Taught Me How to Write

Sitting at my grandmother’s feet watching her write in her small journal is what I remember most about her.  She left this world on August 3, 2016 at 9:30 AM.  I found out at 10:03.

All I’ve been able to think about is her sitting in her brown or green recliner, picking up her small notebook from a flowery decorated tray table sitting on the left side of the recliner, and writing something in it.  She never wrote for a long time, though.  It always seemed to be no more than one or two sentences.  That is the memory that I see when I think of my grandmother.

She’s the first person I saw write.  She’s the first image I have of someone putting pen to a piece of paper and writing something on it.  That’s why I began journaling… because I saw my grandmother, Bertha Allen do it.  She was my introduction to writing.

I have writing in my DNA.  I was blessed with the gift on my father’s side as well.  He’s a writer.  Funny thing is… my father likes to cook, too.  The boys, my two brothers got the cooking gene, and my sister and I got the writing gene.  I laugh every time I think about that.

I have been writing since I was nine years old, when I wrote a poem for an Easter program at my church.  After that, I began writing almost every day.  I always had a pen and some paper, usually a small notebook like my grandmother had on her tray table, in my hand.  Jotting down and observing the things around me became a quotidian task.  I know I got on people’s nerves.

I still love to write today.  I still get excited when I get an idea for a story or poem.  I still get emotional when I experience the emotion of one of my characters.  I still feel a sense of pride when someone says they enjoyed my writing.  I laugh as I read an old story, poem, or essay I wrote.  Looking at my writing portfolio gives me pleasure, as I reflect on the skills I have learned over the years.  I get a moment of joy when I complete a writing job.

I’m a writer because God gave me that talent.  But, my grandmother is the person who opened my eyes to the gift that I had inside.  She started me on my path as a writer.

Prayerfully, one day, I can do the same for some young writer.

You do not have to create your purpose—it is already embedded. Walk in it with confidence.

June 2020 Bible Reading Plan: VISION BECOMES SUCCESSFUL

 

This year's Bible reading plans are based on my word of the Year, VISION.

The Vision Keeper: A Journey of Obedient Sight is your reminder that this is more than a plan—it is a call to stay aligned with what God revealed.
This is a step in the Journey of Obedient Sight—a journey shaped by focus, discipline, and trust.
This is not just a reading rhythm. It is a spiritual assignment.
Vision still speaks. Vision still stands. Vision still stirs.
Stay faithful. Stay focused.
You are a Vision Keeper.

 

Description:

Success in God’s eyes is not measured by applause, titles, or timelines—it is measured by alignment. This month challenges you to redefine success as walking faithfully in what God revealed. These Scriptures will teach you to pursue purpose, not performance, and to trust results to the One who called you.

 

Memory Verse:

Joshua 1:8

 

Here is the plan for June. (Link goes to a PDF.)

Psalms Rememberminder: He Is Your Light in the Dark.

---

Do not let shadows define your story. The Lord is your courage and your clarity.

Psalm 27:1 (NET): “The Lord delivers and vindicates me; I fear no one.”

The Vision Keeper’s Charge

I was entrusted with vision—
not to admire it, but to carry it.
Not to delay it, but to walk it out.
Not to silence it, but to speak and move in faith.

I do not treat this vision as optional.
I do not wait for clarity when I already have a call.
I do not shrink because it feels heavy—I carry it with humility, discipline, and trust.

I carry what God gave,
because lives are tied to what I obey.
I will not bury it. I will not rewrite it. I will not let it die in silence.

I am a Vision Keeper.
And I carry the vision because it still speaks,
it still stands,
and it still stirs.

 

Be A Vision Keeper

 

 

🎒 Carry It Forward

---

There is a moment in every vision journey when God moves you from holding to carrying. It is a shift in responsibility—no longer waiting for the perfect time or clearer instructions. It is the holy charge to walk forward in what you already know.

Carrying the vision does not mean you have all the answers. It means you have committed your heart to what God entrusted to you. It means guarding it with spiritual discipline, stewarding it with humility, and honoring it even when it feels heavy.

This charge is not a burden—it is a blessing. It affirms that God trusts you with what He revealed. And that trust is not based on your perfection, but on your obedience.

To carry the vision is to carry His heart—boldly, faithfully, and with reverence.

The Keeper’s Charge: Now Carry the Vision

A Commissioning for Those Who Choose to Walk in Obedient Sight

 

You Were Trusted with It on Purpose

You did not imagine this.
You did not invent it.
You were entrusted with it.

God did not give you the vision to impress you—He gave it to assign you.

The role of a Vision Keeper is not casual. It is sacred.
And with that revelation comes a charge:

Now carry the vision.

Not in fear.
Not in delay.
Not in silence.
But in faithful motion, with your heart bowed low and your eyes fixed high.

“I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do.”
(John 17:4, ESV)

 

What It Means to Carry Vision

To carry the vision means:

• You no longer treat it as optional—you treat it as obedience.
• You understand that vision is not a possession—it is a responsibility.
• You refuse to minimize what God gave, even if it feels heavy, hard, or hidden.

It is not just about what you saw—it is about what you are willing to bear.

The Keeper’s Charge is this: Carry the vision as if lives depend on it—because they do.

 

The Journey Was Never About Perfection

If you’ve dropped the vision before—pick it back up.
If you’ve doubted the assignment—return to what He said.
If you’ve grown tired—receive strength to carry it again.

God is not looking for perfect runners.
He is looking for faithful carriers.

“And the Lord answered me: ‘Write the vision... For still the vision awaits its appointed time... It will surely come.’”
(Habakkuk 2:2–3, ESV)

 

Carry It with Intention

Here is how the Vision Keeper carries the vision:

• With humility – Knowing it came from God, not self
• With clarity – Rehearsing the why, not just the what
• With discipline – Showing up when feelings fade
• With endurance – Trusting the process when fruit is not visible

Carrying vision does not mean carrying the outcome.
It means carrying the Word—and walking with it until God performs it.

“Faithful is he who calls you; he will surely do it.”
(1 Thessalonians 5:24, ESV)

Final Encouragement

You are not just a Vision Keeper who journals and waits.

You are a Vision Carrier who remembers, obeys, and moves.

• Carry the vision with reverence.
• Carry the vision with expectation.
• Carry the vision with power.

Because if He gave it to you, He will walk with you while you carry it.

This is your charge:
Do not bury it. Do not fear it. Do not minimize it.
Carry the vision. It still speaks. It still stands. It still stirs.
