Vision Board

Vision Board


We all have various pictures of what visions we have of our lives and how it would turn out to be. Vision, as defined in the Macquarie Junior Dictionary, is the” power or sense of seeing”. What pictures do you conjure up in your mind as you think of your journey in life? The bible is filled with lots of faith pictures telling us stories of the various Bible heroes and what they went through in life to reach the various callings that God has for them.
Faith is defined as seeing what you believe about yourself and more or less it is about seeing pictures of what and how you want your situation to turn out.  In the book of Habakkuk: 2-3 “it says to write the vision make it plain that those who read it may run with it’. 
Well, one Sunday morning the kids stayed at home because it was raining so I decided to have creative church with them. Our scripture reading was based on Habakkuk 2 and to make it become more practical and realistic I got them to do Vision Boards of their lives.
We used A5 old newspapers and got them to cut out as many pictures as they want out of old magazines and newspapers and create a vision board of their lives. We had an hour to put together our vision board and then got each of them to present back to the group what they put together
You will be amazed as to how your children see themselves and what great dreams they are conjuring up in their minds. It will give you a great perspective of how you can help them channel those dreams into reality.
Later you can use this vision board as a talking tool to encourage them and motivate them whenever they feel discouraged and down about school/life.

As a parent look for creative ways to minister to your kids using the word of God. You will be amazed at how quickly they catch on to the dream that God has for their lives and learn the moral or principle behind the biblical scriptures.

My Mother's Story (Mercia Paliou)

Image
On this International Woman's Day, I wanted to share my mum's story on her journey and her aspirations in life. To also give us a glimpse into what life was like back then and what they did to build the young PNG nation. I would not be where I am today if she did not first embark on her own journey of education, career marriage and life.   My mother's journey began in her village of Dogur in the Dagua LLG of the East Sepik Province. She was born on the 6th of September 1947. She already had 5 older siblings and she was the 5th born with 2 others after her. Born to parents who were subsistence farmers their lives revolve around fishing, gardening, hunting and gathering food to feed the family. A typical village day would consist of women going to the garden, to work on their vegetables patches whilst the man would go hunting/setting traps for bandicoot or fishing in the small creeks, rivers or the sea. Their stable diet is sago so each family has their own sago plots in th...

Toana Dei & Meri Blouse

Image
On April 28 1978, the government declared that Friday should be set aside as a national dress day.  Citizens were encourage to wear their cultural wear to work or school. The day was referred to as Toana day. The thinking behind that day was to encourage cultural embracement and initiate a national wear which in time will take on its style and become the national wear for contemporary PNG.  Toana is from the motuan language 3rd widely spoken language in PNG and it means a symbol or a sign. A fitting word to signify the day. I am taking up this space again to feature one piece of unique clothing that has come to make its mark in PNG known as the Meri Blouse.Little did they envisage what the meri blouse would become to PNG woman.And meri blouse was introduce by Missionaries to help cover bare breast woman in the colonial days. Highly criticise as shapeless and without form created to hide the beautiful curvy body of Melanesian woman meri blouse has stood its time and held it's ...

My Melanesian Perspective on Valentine's day😍

Image
Hi it's just a week after Valentine's day and am still wondering about the significance of the day in PNG. I mean seriously do our ancestors celebrate Valentine's day it got me thinking to how love is define by our ancestors. Do they come home and say "hey honey I love you I killed this pig for you this morning? My father came out of the pre colonial era and his love for my mum was basically ensuring that there is shelter for us his family and that food is on the table at all times, the needs of the kids are met plus  ensuring that his wife's family and his family are also looked after and that there is harmony in both families. When I went to school this western concept of love and expectations of a male buying you gift or giving you flowers was something that girls long for. A lovely gesture for a male to do that to a female in the western world and part of their culture. I dont really understand it but I respect their society. However it does bring conflicting...
