Living Intentionally

I've been hit with that a few times in the last two days. An article about living as a Christian single-person, part of Sunday's sermon, another article about communal living, and even in a song. Think God is trying to get me to hear something?!

It's easy for me to have a "whatever" attitude. I have no goals. No aspirations. But is that God? Because I have no goals or aspirations, does that mean I have no desires? Do I not desire to please God? Do I not desire to help my community? To change my surroundings? Of course not! I desire all these things!

So if these are in my heart, what am I doing with them? Do I wait for 5:30 a.m. to arrive to see what my day holds? Yes. And that's the problem. Not only do I not anticipate my path, I hardly walk it some days. When did I stop seeing, hearing, caring? When did my life become my own?

Like everything else that is a process, I need to start small. Right foot. Left foot. Start walking and making my life full-on God's life. Put some purpose (and maybe a little pep) in my step and start living! No more floating through life. Start Living Intentionally.

How about you? How are you living intentionally?

I am, but for me the challenge is staying focus in the middle of busyness.

I definitely agree that starting small is good.

It's figuring out if that "busyness" is filler or fruitful. I've always questioned/wondered that in my own life, but now, now I need to answer.

I try to live intentionally, especially God's way, but fail miserably. We know what God expects from us, so if we try to do our best for Him everyday, we will eventually succeed.
