Becoming More Intentional This Year, 2022


 After partaking Communion at my church, there were games prepared but I didn't stay. I had pictures taken to commemorate the fellowship then headed home.

I ended up watching a Christmas movie while waiting for the countdown. I have my champagne glass with pumpkin cinnamon juice. I could hear the excitement from my neighbor to my right side of the fence. They know how to party hard. They have their props for the New Year. They have a long table of food, munchies, drinks, hot soups and desserts. How come I know? They invited me to get a plate but I said, "No Thanks" because I was already full and I couldn't handle any food for that matter.

As I thought about the invitation, I would have been more intentional with my words if I just filled a plate and eat for the next morning. That would have been a better scenario I think because this is the third time now that I refused to their invitation.      

Well, we all have our resolutions or goals to attain this year. What comes to mind is making better judgment on others. Our judgment unto others should not be an indictment just because they failed your expectations. Your ground rules may not be applicable to them. You just have to be intentional. There's no profit in rushing things. With that, I will no longer multi-task especially at home. You can never reach the ceiling of your goals if what you're doing is just the minimum worth of things. That's why we're prone to heart attacks, panic attacks, high blood pressure and many more health issues  that could have been prevented if we just know how to prioritize ensuing good sanity.

Don't be afraid to unfollow  many of your friends, acquaintances, and even family members in your social media if all they do is proclaim vanity. You need friends that will propel your faith in the Lord gaining new heights of wisdom and helping you be a good steward of God's given gifts to you. You know who they are... It is time to take control of the things that you can control but the things you can't, leave it to God. It is also time to render our obedience to God and not do things that would compromise them.

Let's all do better this year...'2022'
