i'm going to start to live intentionally. it sounds like a huge undertaking but i feel like it is the right thing for me right now.
as i've been traveling and learning over this year of rotations i've realized i have been given so many amazing things. i continue to be blessed no matter where i go or with whom i meet. i have come to this decision to live intentionally not because i am not in the upmost way grateful for these things, but to give back- to share with others the joy, love, support, hospitality, encouragement and so many other things that i have been given.
i want my life and my future to not only be about myself, but about those around me, who have influenced me, dried my tears, lifted me up, made me laugh. i want to share these things with those people who have been vital parts of what defines who i am. but i do not want to stop with those people. i want who i am to give to all the people i encounter. i want my life to be lived for others. i want to find joy and fulfillment in sharing my joy. i want to overflow to those around me to be filled again.
i want to live intentionally, aware of those around me- opening my eyes to truly seeing them- to see their needs, their worries, their doubts, fears & regrets. i want to see their pure beauty, but also who they long to be. i want to make people feel encouraged in who they are, praised even in their flaws, empowered and supported in their desires. i want the people around me to feel special, not lacking, and loved unconditionally.
i want my life to not only be about myself and my desires- thanking the Lord for the numerous blessing i have been given along the way- i want my life to be about the people in it. i want it to be about showing people what love looks like as i continue to learn this along my journey.
i do not want my praises to be the words i write or say at the end of my day any longer- i want them to be life-giving. i want my praises to be acts. giving what i have been given because it is too good not to be shared.
so, i intend to start giving- intentionally. sharing, praying and loving those who have done the same for me and those who may just be entering the scene. i intend to start to live with a purpose, to use my giving heart, to give to those who deserve it, to share with those that need it. to find ways to relinquish thanks for what i have been given and receive even more in abundance.
