{good intentions}

   looking back at the past month, its been a blur! i think its so easy to forget priorities in life, and let life just fly by. being sick for 2 weeks didnt help, but still...
   the last few years, its been my goal to be intentional.

• intentional in taking note on lifes lessons
• intentional on knowing good deals at certain stores/restaurants (growing up!)
• intentional of conversations and how i converse with people
• intentional with my relationship with God and how it needs to constantly be improving
• intentional with my relationships with family/friends
• intentional on being uplifting and encouraging
• intentional with prayer and intercession 

   last night, we had an even called FORWARD at The Vineyard Church. it was so powerful and so amazing. we did a lot of "crazy prayer" (thats what i call it anyways). full on, heart/mind/soul indulging prayer for our area. we went all out and it felt great. it just reminded me of how much more intentional i need to be at being a CHRISTIAN. i am in a divine romance, and i need to be intentional in all i say and do for my Jesus. hopefully, this month, i look back and think to myself, "wow...Jesus did a lot through me!"
   on another note, please join with me in prayer for Narumi, my brothers girlfriend. she lives just outside of Tokyo and hasnt been able to sleep the past 2 days due to the many aftershocks. she is terrified, and it breaks my heart! its our jobs as Christians to intercede for the world, so lets do it!
Psalm 4:1-
Answer me when I call to you,
   my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
   have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

"Answer, Narumi, when she calls to you, my righteous God.
Give, Narumi, relief from distress; have mercy on, Narumi, and hear her prayer!"
"Answer, Japan, when it calls to you, my righteous God.
Give, Japan, relief from distress; have mercy on, Japan, and hear their prayers!"
