Intentionally Intentional

I am so eager for the weather to get warmer. I can’t stand staying inside all the time, but I don’t want Leah to freeze just because Mama has cabin fever. If the cooler temperatures weren’t usually accompanied by wind, that would be another story. Argh. Come, spring.

Moving on. That wasn’t the purpose of this post.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about the direction I want my blog to take. It has taken many twists and turns since I first started this whole thing, and I really don’t know, at this point, what I’m hoping to accomplish with it. I love being able to post pictures of my sweet girl, especially for those who don’t get to see her often, if at all. I love being able to tell random stories and anecdotes from my life. I love being able to share my thoughts on life, and I especially love the opportunity to encourage or uplift others who happen across my humble blog.

I feel like lately my posts have been pretty random….which I don’t like (though that is, admittedly, a pretty accurate representation of my life). I feel like there needs to be a more intentional purpose to things here, so this is something I’m thinking on and praying about.

Actually, I feel like there should be a more intentional purpose to everything I do. I’m pretty tired of letting life slip by, assuming things will “just happen.” The truth is, nothing is going to magically happen if I don’t intentionally apply myself to them. If I have goals and dreams – which I do – I have to be intentional with my time. I have to be intentional about my marriage, intentional about mothering Leah, intentional about growing in my relationship with the Lord, and intentional about my calling in life. My blog, really, is but a microcosm of all of those other things, and it, like life, will gradually unravel into a ball of disorder if not specifically led in another direction.

I’m working on this in all areas of my life. Hopefully it will be evident here, too.
