The Purpose-Driven Nancy

Intentionality.

That's weighing heavy on my mind.

It's why I purge.
It's behind my attempt at the 333 Project.
It's the purpose behind my porch time.

I've lived the day-in day-out life of status quo and excuses and negativity.
It didn't work for me.
My life crumbled as a result.

And I learned the value of Intentionality:
Living every day - and moment - with purposeful intention.


I often fall short.
The housework builds and bills stack up and the children...
Why oh why must they be fed every.single.day?

But there is grace.
The precious gift of redemption.
That whisper that reminds me that tomorrow is new and fresh
Filled to the brim with another cup of mercy to strengthen me in my weaknesses.

And I refocus once more on...
Intention.
Purpose.

Making conscious choices rather than falling prey to the "it is what it is" mentality.

These past few days the Spirit has whispered over and over to me...
"Intentionality."

It's time for me to dig a little deeper into my heart to search out my purpose and focus.
To allow Him into the depths that I've hidden away as I've taken on new roles and assumed bigger responsibilities these past couple of years.
To allow myself to be stretched once more deeply out of my comfort zone so that I can be more fully His.
To put my money where my mouth is.
To let go of my attachment to 'stuff'.
To ensure my treasure is eternal.

Intention.
It's mind and heart transformed into Action.
