Does anyone else have to be so intentional, about getting all the important things accomplished? About five years ago when I was working, raising multiple children, ministry, etc. It made sense to me why I had to be so intentional with my time. After Mike was shot and we finally made it home, and I was his 24/7 caregiver I was home……should there not be all this time…..the need to have to be so intentional would disappear……WRONG!
The last few years have taught me A LOT!!!!! I am still a student in this life, but the last few years felt like throwing someone unable to swim into the ocean…….sink or swim baby…….lets just say I learned to doggy paddle lol
The world is in a crazy place right now. It has just been on my heart heavy to get back to being intentional. It is so easy to let our word life slip right by us. I am guilty….past and present. We can all name the things that kept us from that time of sitting down and opening our Bible. For me it was usually I was just plain tired from all the other stuff that I had put first, or let distract me from it.
Have you ever went to pray….. me today!!!!!!! The phone rings 3 times…..Zeus (Great Dane) is chasing Lenore (Persian Cat), ADT alarm keeps alarming someone is in the backyard…..it seems to be 100 degrees in my offices……The devil wants us to be like just forget it! But the spirit within me is telling me to push thru cause the devil does not want me and Jesus doing any buisness today. I have news for him…..I was intentional even though there were a million distractions, and we met.
How about our service? Our sharing the gospel, our testimony? Our Purpose? Theses all get hard for me because the devil likes to use I am stuck at home what can I do…..But while I was being intentional today in my word and prayer the Lord reminded me of my gifts, and that I just need to step out ………AND BE INTENTIONAL!!!!!!!
I pray we will all become more intentional. Distractions are so often from the devil……sometimes self inflicted too. Jesus is coming soon, and I wanna be ready……and not just for me. I want to be able to be used of God to help others be ready. I want to make sure as many souls get to go to heaven as I have access to lead. God is so good!!!! I am praying for you all, please pray for me. xoxoxoxo
