Intentional
That is my one word for 2019. My theme for the year.
I have always struggled with being intentional. I’ve struggled with going out of my way to talk to someone. I’ve struggled with doing my schoolwork. I’ve struggled with making reading my Bible a priority. I’ve even struggled to do what I’m passionate about like make art and take pictures. All of these and many other things I struggle with making them important or a priority and I am rarely intentional. #queenofprocrastinaton
So this new year as I was sitting down to make a list of goals for the year, as one does at the start of a new year, I had a realization that I probably wasn’t going to get any of these things done and I wasn’t having that. I wanted so much to be able to achieve these things. I just needed a way to focus, because that’s so hard for me.
Then I came across someone’s post on Instagram about their “one word” for 2019, and I had heard of this practice before and I’d even tried to do it once but I never made it a priority (shocker right?), mainly because I didn’t get the message behind it. But I knew that was exactly the type of focus I needed for the year. So these first couple of weeks in 2019 I’ve spent time praying about what God wants to teach me this year. And one night I was wracking my brain about what this one word could possibly be and how it could possibly cover all of my goals, and as clear as day, I heard God saying to me “intentional”, it’s time to get your priorities straight and finally do these things you want to do but keep pushing off.
So my prayer for this year is that God uses this word, Intentional, to grow me and stretch me, to push me out of my comfort zone and draw me closer to him.
I’m ready to see how this one small word, will change my world!
All the love 🙂
