God has been teaching me a lot about being intentional in my living. I am currently reading Kisses from Katie, an amazing book written by a twenty something year old about the journey God is taking her on in Uganda. Throughout the book I can feel her passion, intensity, and love for God and doing what he wants her to in her life. She lives each moment purposefully and intentionally, something I struggle so much with. I often just go through the motions of my daily life, not realizing that I can truly impact people for eternity and that God has me in this exact moment for a reason. It is humbling, if you think about it...the God of the universe loves me so much that He has chosen a place for me in His big plan.
It is not a coincidence that I have each one of my 19 students in my class this year.
It is not a coincidence that I am living in Brazil.
The people I am meeting here are not coincidences.
It is not a coincidence that our shipment is taking FOREVER to get here.
It is not a coincidence that I woke up this morning.
I am challenging myself to be more intentional in my life. I want to seek God in everything I do, not just my quiet time, worship, and church time. I want to see Him in the little things daily. Like noticing the vibrant purple flowers on my run the other day. Or laughing when a student asks a question about the directions I just gave. While it is hard to be intentional, I feel it is honoring God and to try is one of the best ways I can show Him my love.
