Life is a journey and we journey into many new adventures along the way. Each of these adventures build our portfolio of life. One day someone will stand at a pulpit and share with a group of mourners the consequences of our journey. On May 24, 2014 my family and I listened as the journey of our beloved "Pappy" was shared with a room full of those she touched. The difference between her journey and mine (and most everyone) was that her journey was intentional.
She lived with intention and she loved with intention!
She was intentional in telling those around her she loved them. She was intentional with her time. She was intentional with her finances. She was intentionally in The Word and most importantly, she intentionally told everyone she knows about Jesus.
About a week after Pappy passed away, I made the decision to live intentionally. I want to be intentional in EVERY decision I make.
I want to live intentionally and I want to love intentionally!
I want to intentionally tell those around me that I love them. I want to be intentional with my time. I want to be intentional with my finances. I want to intentionally be in The Word and most importantly, I want to intentionally tell everyone I know about Jesus.
I haven't been real good at the whole blog thing. I love the idea of a blog, I love to read blogs and I think blogs are a great way to chronicle the journey of life. . .but, I am not so great at it. I have decided my first step to living intentionally is to begin to record it in a blog. This is my journey to living intentionally. I hope you join me on the journey!
This blog is in honor of Patricia "Pappy" Joan Welch Hedges 1929-2014
