Halfway theought this journey and today I just wanted to share a slight variation on a common quote that I saw recently: "Change is inevitable. Growth is intentional." Any Thoughts? Comments? Reactions? How do you see this in your own life?
Category: 31 Days of Intentionality
Abiding Branches {Day 14 – Intentionality}
John 15 has been following me around lately... and I couldn't be more grateful. It's been the focus of two Bible Study's recently, a friend reminded me of it the other day, and then Pastor preached on it this morning. What I love is that I can also see so many connections to this focus… Continue reading Abiding Branches {Day 14 – Intentionality}
“What else?” – God-Sighting Saturday {Day 13 – Intentionality}
It all happened so quick that one Thursday morning. Right between breakfast and getting ready to head off to work. It could have easily slipped away, and yet it didn't. It happened.... and it was beautiful. I thought back to all those conversations in college with a mentor and friend who was intentional about the… Continue reading “What else?” – God-Sighting Saturday {Day 13 – Intentionality}
An Experiment in Intentionality {Day 12}
**Note: Opps... this didn't get posted yesterday. I guess that means today is a 2-for-1 special. Here's the post that was supposed to go up yesterday: So today was what I'd like to call an "experiment" in intentionality. The ironic thing is that this wasn't actually planned going into the day, but sort of developed… Continue reading An Experiment in Intentionality {Day 12}
The 3: October Version {Day 11 – Intentionality}
At the end of August, I started what I hoped would be a monthly series on my blog called "The 3" which simply includes 3 things I'm learning in life right now. I missed September, but in an effort to be more INTENTIONAL, here we are near the beginning of the month for October's version.… Continue reading The 3: October Version {Day 11 – Intentionality}
Motives {Day 10 – Intentionality}
Have you ever been misunderstood? You said something and the person listening took you to mean something completely different. It happened tonight with a friend. She was talking about "playing music" meaning playing it on an ipod where as my mind instantly thought she meant PLAYING music, like on a guitar or piano. As funny… Continue reading Motives {Day 10 – Intentionality}
Obedience {Intentionality – Day 9}
I've tried a couple ways to write the story I want to share tonight and it just won't come out, partly because I am speechless in response to the amazing ways in which God works. What I can say is that living with a focus on intentionality is changing me. Because of this focus I… Continue reading Obedience {Intentionality – Day 9}
Just ask! {Day 8 of 31 – Intentionality}
I'm not sure whether this is a good or bad thing (I think it really depends on the situation), but I'm a pretty independent person. In addition to an independent personality, various situations in life have increased my need, desire, and ability to be independent. If there's a way for something to be done, I'm… Continue reading Just ask! {Day 8 of 31 – Intentionality}
Intentional Sabbath {Day 7 of 31 – Intentionality}
I've learned and written a lot about Sabbath the last year or so (like here and here). However, it's a concept that keeps coming up again in conversation a lot lately. It can easily seem like an out of date practice, or something only the "crazy" religious people follow. And perhaps I fall into that… Continue reading Intentional Sabbath {Day 7 of 31 – Intentionality}
Intentional: ‘Cause Someone’s Life Depends on It {Day 6 of 30}
I just returned from our Crossroads Fall Retreat about an hour ago and so much that happened there made me think of intentionality. The biggest lesson perhaps came out of our time on the high ropes course. Our teens climbed up, down, and even upside down. They were amazing and every single one of them… Continue reading Intentional: ‘Cause Someone’s Life Depends on It {Day 6 of 30}
