Word of the Year ~ Monthly Update

I said in my word of the year post last month, that I would keep myself accountable and give an update each month.

Have I been intentional in the last month? Yes! I have been intentional in spending more time away from social media. I have been intentional in spending more time in God's Word. I have been intentional about keeping my house cleaner.

This week has been chaotic and I have found myself going back to not being intentional. I need to stay focused and stay in God's Word. He will help me be intentional this year.

2017 Word of the Year

I wasn’t going to do a word of the year this year, but this word keeps coming back to me and I can’t get it off of my mind.

Intentional: done by intention or design (Merriam -Webster Dictionary)
Some synonyms are deliberate, knowing, purposeful, and voluntary.

Why Intentional?
To be honest, I’m not really sure. I know that God has laid it on my heart and He wants me to be more intentional in everything that I do. I need to spend my time more wisely. I need to be more intentional in what I do each day. I admit I am not the best housekeeper and I spend way too much time on Facebook, but this year, I am going to be changing that. I am going to be more intentional in keeping up the appearance of the house. I am going to be more intentional about spending too much time on Facebook. I also need to be more intentional on what I eat. I need to be spending more time in God’s Word. I also want to be in more pictures with my kids. And lastly, when I have chosen a word of the year in the past, I never came back and updated. This year, I will be intentional and update at least once a month.
