One of the lessons I am learning…slowly but surely…is to let God take the wheel. I am a bit of a control freak. I like to know the what, why, where etc of my life. But, with feet kicking and arms flailing, God has used this platform to teach me that He is better suited for my leadership than I am. And so, I am learning to rely on Him for every area of my life and that includes Mirror Wealth. So as I waited upon Him for 2020 concerning this platform, this is what I heard, “Something old, something new.”
Something Old
i) Anchor
God knew Mirror Wealth before I did. God knows Mirror Wealth better than I ever will. God has been shaping Mirror Wealth and I am but a willing participant in the process. So the anchor of Mirror Wealth will always be the Ancient of Days. That will NEVER change. Yes, that means that Mirror Wealth will always be churchy.
I struggled with that for some time. I wanted it to be more “contemporary” so that it could have a wider audience and the impact and benefits that come with that. But,if I am honest, I think there was an element of shame associated with the whole church and wealth thing. Sad…but true.
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
Romans 1:16
This Gentile is proud that God would choose her to speak about wealth, His way ☺
ii) The Visionaries
50 visionaries, but we have only covered 18 🙈. That means we have 32 more visionaries to encounter. And we shall.
I have loved this series. I have come to see these individuals and their lives in a whole new human level. It is almost as if they were removed from the pedestal I had put them in my mind and placed in front of me in all their human-ness. And in so doing, they became relatable. They became “me”. I saw myself in them…and that gave me hope that I too can accomplish the vision of God for my life.
iii) Noni’s Musings
Stripped, naked and laid bare. That is how I describe Noni’s Musings. It forces me to remove the many masks I have grown used to putting on every morning. It forces me to remove my self-armour and become vulnerable.
Vulnerability is uncomfortable.
But, so is the Christian walk. Too many wounded, hurt, depressed Christians are walking around ashamed of their weaknesses. Too many are giving up on Christ and life. Too many are afraid of not being the perfect Christian. And way too many are being shamed by the “church” that is supposed to love them.
So, if God so chooses to use my vulnerability to reach out to just one person…so be it 🙆
Something New
The Known
There will be an increased focus on money. Rather, on how to use your money to finance the vision God has placed in your heart. Money as a servant, and not as a master. This will be made up of a number of practical series’ that will be drawn from the Mirror Wealth Coaching social media pages. And of course, each series will be anchored on a mirror.
The Unknown
God is doing something new with Mirror Wealth. He is lengthening its stakes and strengthening its cords. The bolts, nuts, screws…are all being tightened. This is a step by step walk, whose destination is unknown to me. But as I said in the beginning, I am learning to trust His leadership.
I look forward to walking the 2020 journey with each of you, with the guidance of God.
Happy new year! Happy new decade!
