And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. “Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. Yes is a small word, but it’s powerful and I am excitedly anticipating inviting Jesus in as I say “YES” to Him! In John 6:15-21 it lays out a beautiful picture of what happened when the disciples said “Yes” to Jesus and received Him into their situation.they were immediately at the place they were going! The year 2019 is just seconds away and so is a new adventure with Jesus as we embark on my new One Word of “YES”!! My goal was to ask the Lord what intentional assignments does He have for me that day to show my husband, Brian, and others He put in my path love and value in a greater measure.Īs I look back on these definitions, scriptures and the ending chapter of 2018 I see where there were days that intentionality was definitely my focus and other days I was not as diligent, but either way Holy Spirit showed me there was great growth that I allowed Him to bring me into.Īs I type this I am minutes away from a new year. To look back and see that I have carried out assignments with His intention rather than flippantly. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” It spoke great importance and seriousness of what He put on my heart concerning intentionality and how He’s modeled it.Īt the end of the year I wanted to look back and see that I have been intentional to live out my marriage, ministry, and all relationships with purpose and intention. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. The verse He gave me to remind myself that He is intentional with me was Jeremiah 29:11-13, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jesus showed me that I am called to birth things with intentional purpose He has asked me to bring into the natural. Not something that is flippant, but to be diligent, strategic and passionate. Intentional means to have intent and purpose. I settled on the word “Intentional” for my One Word. I looked up the meanings of each word, scriptures that Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance that went along with each word and prayed about them both. In 2018 I had a list of 11 words I was considering as my choice and narrowed it down to “intentional” and “present”. This wasn’t something I would be focusing on every day alone, but rather a partnership with Him. The biggest thing I loved about having a One Word is that I allowed the Lord to speak to me what He wanted our focus to be for the year. It took so much of the pressure off my list of goals - making them realistic enough to reach and then having to remember them.
