focus

As I've heard people come back with awesome stories from Faithwalkers, and have been listening to the messages themselves, I've been praying and thinking about what should be my focus this year.

I think the idea is dawning on me that out of everything that I'd like to focus on, intention is what is coming to the forefront. I've just been reminded that I will have to give an answer to God for everything that I've ever done in my life, and just been told that what I sow in my 20s I'll reap in my 40s...which is great, considering that my 20s are almost over....how am I going to answer God for the things I've done? I obviously can't change anything that's already been done, but I can change my outlook and motivation for things that I will be doing. How can I be more intentional in my marriage? With our neice and nephew and family in general? At work? As a small group member or coach? As a friend? I suppose I'll have to figure out what my intentions actually are first.

In discussing our marriage recently, I realized for all the times I said that I wasn't intending to do harm - a lot of those times I wasn't intending not to do it either, and look what happened. It takes a more active stance on everything in general - how do I want my life to look this time next year? What do I need to do to see that happen? There are some things in the works, but as this is quite the new thought process, I will need to work on it. BUT, I intend to take some time and make a list....by the end of the weekend. So maybe I'll have something new to say early next week. Or maybe you can ask me about it on Monday...
