One Word April Installment— Intentional Pastimes
It\’s that time again as I join the One Word Community monthly link-up hosted by Lisa @ Lisa Notes. Won\’t you join me there to read what others and myself are learning or crafting with our one-word 2022?
Lisa provides many activities and prompts for us to explore our words more. Here are a few of those.
Write your word in another language
Greek: εκ προθέσεως
Slovak: zámerný
Russian: намеренный [namerennyy]
Swahili: kukusudia
Madagascar (Malagasy): iniana
Hebrew: מְכוּוָן
Icelandic: Vísvitandi
Who in the Bible represents your word
God: He is Intentional at its core.
Ways you can Live your life: Intentional
— Stop comparing myself to others
— Learn from others
— Show myself grace and compassion
— Declutter my belongings and intrusive thoughts
— Surround myself with positive people and strengthen essential relationships
— Get organized in my home, time and money management
— Listen to my gut (it\’s probably the Holy Spirit whispering to me)
— Set boundaries where needed
— Pay attention to my health and self-care
Find a quote with your word
\”Intentional living is the art of making our own choices before others\’ choices make us.\”
― Richie Norton

You did a lot of fun things with your word this month, Paula! This is my favorite, “Who in the Bible represents your word? God: He is Intentional at its core.” Amen!

Seeing our words in other languages is so fascinating to me! I love that you chose God as the ultimate embodiment of Intentional. You’re so right. Your journal page is fantastic!

I love what you did here! Also, I note with excitement that your word intertwines with mine. “— Declutter my belongings and intrusive thoughts” This goes well with my word, “Purge.” May we both be successful!

Lol, it sure does intertwine well with your word.
