Since Jan 1, my conversation with Michal and the Routh's has focused on many different specifics. But a central theme has emerged. It is reminiscent of the purpose driven concept, but plays out in a broader way. The idea is of living intentionally.
Living intentionally doesn't necessarily mean having a specific direction or goal in mind. But it does mean giving thought to why we do the things we do. It means giving serious thought to why we spend our days the way we do. How much of life is wasted when we don't stop to consider how we will spend our moments.
We invest our selves and our time in relationships, and make decisions about what's important to us that shape our direction. Even in moments of rest, it is wise to think through why we would want to rest in a particular way. This keeps coming up, as though God is asking us to stop and think about our days. Here at Passion, every moment is precious and multiple things compete for the time. There is more to do than we can ever accomplish. Yet our overarching purpose here is clear.
I want to live intentionally, and not allow myself to waste the moments before me, no matter where I am. Perhaps not new or revolutionary, but a thought worth repeating.
