God has really been laying on my heart a few main things to
focus on this year. I already shared that I felt God wanted me to focus on “rest”
this year, but I believe that I have a second word for 2014.
I want to be intentional.
I believe that every moment we have on this earth is a
precious gift from God. I do not want to waste the time that I have been given
by not being intentional about the way I spend it. Becoming a Stay-At-Home Mom
has made the need to be intentional even more important for me. I do not have a
bunch of deadlines to meet, I do not have a strict schedule that I have to
abide by; it is really easy to let time get by me. Now, I know I am not just
sitting around doing nothing. I have responsibilities I need to get done for
church, I am taking care of a baby, and picking up the house – but I don’t want
to just do those things, I want to be intentional about doing those things. Being
intentional about my day allows me to take control of my time so it doesn’t
control me.

Aside from just being intentional with my time, I want to be
intentional in my relationships. I want to be intentional as a wife,
encouraging and building my husband up, taking advantage of the quiet moments we have together.
I want to be intentional as a mother, looking for ways to encourage my son’s
curiosity and remind him how much I love him. I want to be intentional about
developing friendships in this new city. I want to be intentional in children’s
ministry with the kids and volunteers I am leading. I want to be intentional with all that God has placed in my hands in this season of life.

Time is a blessing, and to get the most out of that blessing
we must be intentional. I do not want to allow life to just happen, I want to
live life intentionally.
