Just one more…smile

Sometimes the things we intend – don’t always materialize. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because we often give too much attention to the wrong things. My husband Tim, ( the extrovert) is a deep thinker. Because he is, we tend to have really intense discussions. He is mostly intentional about just about everything he does. It’s very hard to for him to relax in fact – because he often believes he should be doing something to stay busy.

I am also intentional – but not much  in a very “busy” way – I am more of an introvert, so  it’s very hard to discern when I am being intentional about things. We have this discussion often, about what am I thinking ( ?) because he thinks I am daydreaming or just shooting the breeze – when in fact, my mind is filled with a hundred different things at one time, and unless I sit and write some of them down, they will  just disappear.

 I thanks God for Tim, because of the level of intention at which he operates.  I have found my life takes a different turn the more intentional I am about things. I don’t know exactly what i was doing before… but I tell you, things are very good, right now,in my life, and it’s not just because I believed they would be that way, it’s the STEPS I took  in order to make it happen. The steps are critical. This is an awesome  reason reason why I believe its so important to spend time with God.  I used to just think as a believer ( in Christ) , one could just “think” something and” pray something” into happening. But at what point does God want us to “join Him” in the process of seeing  things coming to pass? I believe this is a dilemma every person that wants to please God comes into contact with. I also  believe it’s something that happens consistently.

Sometimes my level of intention  can   intimidates others. I just realized this recently. I guess when you are a “go -getter” , thinks work differently for your in the universe. I believe  in miracles. So miracles happen, in my life. Sometimes things beyond my imagination. I love this, because here’s the place where God begins to come into my life and help me to fulfill my purpose.

I encourage you today to ask God to help you fill in the gaps – the places in your life where you lack understanding and you just don’t understand what will move your purpose along. Because when you are on track with God, everything else is a piece of cake.  I can accept that for many , this is really hard to believe. Because God is so complex, we often are challenged in our thinking to believe God has best interests for us at all.  Yet there’s scripture to explain this. The word says : we only have 1/4 of the picture anyway… as it pertains to our future.  1 Corinthians 13:12: “we see through a glass dimly, but then, face to face.” I don’t know about you, but I want to see God face to face! ( and sometimes I do – and man oh man, is he beautiful! )  In other words, I want to understand him- as much as He would allow me to, and be eager about my intention to have all He has for me! It’s my inheritance in the Lord, to have such goods stored up for me!
