Living Intentionally

2010 Word of the Year
{Continuing Reading Down for my Posts on Intentionally Living...}
Wow, it seems like every single blog I follow is doing a word of the year. So of course, I am to ;).
I've seen many great ones this year:

Slow
Dance
Create
Love
Beauty
Honor
Worship
Just to name a few...

So I started thinking about what mine should be. If you don't already know, almost 8 months ago I married the Love of my Life. I love my man so much! And everyone told us the first year is going to be the worst! It's going to be sooo rough, but hang in there! Well so far we have not hit this snag :D. We are going good!

But I'm beginning to see that if we are not extremely intentional about our relationship things could always lead down another path as I'm sure is the case with many couples. The newlywed buzz is slowly wearing off and we are settling into the daily grind of life. Yet we can't let things just settle into the daily grind of life. If we do then all passion and all the little things we love about each other will slowly fade away.

As a new wife, a student, an employee, a daughter, a sister, and a friend, I felt that the most appropriate word for me this year would be "Intentional".

I am going to be intentional about welcoming our sister, Sienna, into our home. We are opening our home to her to stay with us for the school year so she may attend the University God has called her to while *trying* to stay out of debt.
