intentional...

Yesterday at church, Pastor Cook mentioned we should, "be intentional." It wasn't the main point of his sermon (although taking risks was the point - eerily related to my post earlier in the day) but it struck me as important. Am I being intentional in my life? How do you live intentionally? I think we talk a lot about what our intentions are in terms of motives or reasoning... but are living life in a way that is on purpose. I don't want life to just happen to me, but I hope I can live my life in a way that I'm making decisions and taking chances on purpose... intentionally.

Some things I like...

1. I'm in knoxvegas... which I love. I have visited all of the places that make me smile as I remember fond memories moving down here nearly six years ago. My friend Miriam and her husband showed awesome hospitality and I'm blogging from Panera... which Fayetteville desperately needs.

2. Lindsey Nobles... she was a guest blogger today and after reading the post you might think I wrote it... just saying.

3. Amanda Beard... amazing New York Times article talking about her quest to be real despite depression and self injury.

4. Quote of the day... yesterday... "May we love like you love and may our hearts stay broken for what breaks your's..."
