intentional. most afternoons i listen to Dr. Randy Carlson's radio call in show on my way home from work. he gives advice on a wide variety of issues but the common thread in his advice to "be intentional". he stresses that things don't happen by accident and urges people to start by picking one thing to be intentional about. i was listening to his show today at the gym and it got me thinking....what could i be intentional about? of course the potential areas are limitless, but my environment at the time got me thinking that maybe i should choose exercise as my thing to be intentional about. just recently i have gotten back into a regular exercise routine after several weeks of being off after our pregnancy journey and miscarriage. i thought about this and decided that in the upcoming months i am going to choose to be intentional about regular exercise. By regular I mean a goal of at least 30 minutes of exercise 4-5 days a week. have i tried this before? of course i have. have i succeeded? yes at times, no at other times. will this time be different? i don't know, but maybe since i am thinking about it differently i will be more successful longterm. i guess maybe it's a bit like quitting smoking where they say don't quit quitting, but itstead it should be don't stop starting! so, doctor carlson, here's to being intentional!
remember, when the time on the treadmill moves slowly, and the weights in your hands are heavy, God is sooooo good. kendra
A walk in the rain.....life is kind of like that isn't it? Sometimes a walk in the rain is cold and uncomfortable and sometimes a walk in the rain is ultimately refreshing. The bottom line is a walk in the rain, just like life, is what you make of it. And therein, I suppose, lies the challenge. To take your walk pleasing to God and a blessing to those who are walking in the rain with you.
