Intentions.
Interesting word when you think about it. Everyone always has "good intentions", right.?
But do you truly do things, intentionally?
The other morning I heard something that really got my mind working. It was about choosing to love. I actually heard this twice in the past week, so it struck a chord deep within me.
If you think about when you first fell in love with someone, in the beginning, everything always seems to be perfect and pretty and "wine and roses". Eventually life takes over, things happen, stuff gets in the way.
Love isn't easy and pretty. It's that person that annoys you and didn't put his/her stuff away. It's that person that you just had an argument with over what color to paint the wall.
It is at those times that we intentionally love.
Do you let your heart lead? That is easy to do. Because we don't always feel "in love" or "loving".
But, I'm decided to live differently.
I'm going to live intentionally.
I'm going to love intentionally.
I'm telling my heart to love. To love with intent.
Love intentionally.
Sounds easy, but it's not.
But, I truly believe it's worth it.

Choosing to love...well I've heard that too...sometimes it is hard...but I feel like to love intentionally is better to use rather than choosing to love because I really honestly feel "in love" still... I just need to do more intentionally sometimes with that stuff that happens sometimes...but loving is so good for the soul. I've found through prayer that sometimes it is me who makes it complicated not the situation but that is just me too you know...
Great post, Suzann.
Falling in love is all about hormones and attraction; staying in love is a decision that we make every single day.
Just ordered Fireproof from Netflix; gonna watch it with cup o' Joe this week...
Hope you're all recovered from your hectic weekend.
It is worth it, because if that love was taken away, you would be left with an empty heart..loving intentionally is what I do with my baby, I want him to know above all else that he is loved...same with the pool man, even thought he is older and ice cream doesn't win his heart like my punk, I still need to go out of my way to make him feel special...and to love him unconditionally!
