Intentions 2010

January 2010 has come and gone and now February is upon me ....

After much thought and prayer I have narrowed down some categories and intentions for 2010 and they are the following:

Intention: to have something in mind; a design; a plan

Spiritual Intentions

• Finish reading through the Bible in a year " all scripture is God-breathed, useful for training, reproofing, ...."
• Four intentional day-aways (24-48 hours) of retreat, refresh, re vie, renew through prayer
• Bible reading most days aloud with my husband Terry
• Continue to "be" a disciple and know fellowship through Ex 2:2, Real Women, HopeWatchers

Intellectual Intentions

• Graduate in May with a BS in Elementary Education
• Take a class through Maple Grove Community Education
• Always be one week ahead with Kidstop lesson plans
• Read good books often
• Continue to "be" a lifelong learner seeking wisdom from the Lord as "anyone who lacks wisdom can ask of God ..."

Emotional Intentions

• Blogging monthly
• Journaling weekly
• Continue to share my heart with the Lord and with family and friends "a friend loves at all times ...."

Physical Intentions

• Walk 1-2 mile 5 days per week
• Smoothie for breakfast 5 days per week
• Continue to be conscious of my "body being a temple of the Holy Spirit"

Financial Intentions

• Give much to many " give generously ...."
• Keep track (written down) all spending
• Hope for a spending plan written down together with Terry
• Continue to prayer before spending and know that all I have belongs to the Lord.

Most of these intentions, goals are measurable. It is my prayer and hope for 2010 that I will be able to look back monthly to these intentions and know that I am staying on track. I publish these with the intention of having others hold me accountable for personal growth because of these intentions.

Always remaining in His arms, B.
