So it has obviously been a while since I’ve written anything on here.  I mean, not years, but it has been a few months and that is more than I’d like.  I intended for this to be like therapy…but a lot cheaper.  I intended to write a lot more than I have.  And I often have ideas for posts that pop in my head but I never get to writing them and then the thought passes…and so do my intentions.

My grandma always said, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.”  (And yes, I know it is an old proverb.) I don’t know about you, but those are some true words.  I intended to lose weight so I could be more active with my kids but wait…life happened and now they’re teens and we’re beyond that.  I intended to save money to pay cash for the car but wait…life happened and now I’ve got a car payment.  I intended to talk to that person about Jesus but wait…life happened and I didn’t.  And what happens to the person who may not know Jesus???

All I’m saying is that we can intend until the cows come home but it is time to put our money where our mouth is.  If Jesus intended to die on the cross but then decided he was good and life happened and he liked hanging out with the disciples…where would we be?

And please know, I am writing this more for myself than anyone else.  (Remember, therapy.)  I have been struck with the word discipline lately because I’m the queen of intentions that end up as anything but actions.  I am having to take every second of the day and evaluate what I’m doing.  And what is important.  I don’t want my health to decline because I skipped the gym.  I don’t want to miss moments with my kids because I’m on social media.  I don’t want to blow the budget because I didn’t plan ahead.   I don’t want to miss what Jesus is speaking to me because I didn’t get up early and make time to listen.  And I don’t want to miss doing something I like (this blog) because I sat on the couch with Netflix.

So, here we go friends.  I may write deep and I may write random but my goal is to write…more than once every 3 months.  It is going to take discipline and I’m not going to be perfect but I sure will try.  So…happy Tuesday!  May our intentions become actions!!
