“Believe “

So the word Believe seems to be quite prevalent in my life right now and it's not an accident. It came up today in another devotional reading. Interesting.

And here's the funny story about why I believe everything happens for a reason.

A few years ago, I learned about a movement where you find 1 word to be your word of "intention" for a year and you focus on just that word. So I read a book about it and then set about finding my "word" for the year.

Well I had just read Martin Luther Kings speech and it really moved me. ( pun intended ) So I chose my 2018 "Word of Intention " -" Keep moving " - ( ok that was 2 words ). I had a bracelet made. Wore it every day. Looked at my "word" for 2018 and thought nothing of it.

I had intended my "Word of Intention" for 2018 to mean - keep moving forward emotionally, health-wise, psychologically, intentionally! You get the picture. Move past the BS ( you recall the mean hockey moms ). And move away from negativity and negative thinking.

Well. With absolutely zero pre planning or fore thought really , in June of 2018, we moved away from a town where my husband had purchased a business in 2013 and from which we had just moved TO in 2013 , pulling kids away from the only place they had ever lived for 15 years. Not easy. The decision to move was abrupt and very emotionally driven but ... looking back ? It was absolutely the right decision. For so so so many reasons.( Sadly they are much too personal to really delve in to here. I need to respect my family's privacy. )

My point ? A- Believe in yourself , trust your gut and know everything happens for a reason.

And B- choose your word of intention very very carefully. Because it can and will change your life in ways you did not see coming.

My word of intention for 2018 is BELIEVE ! And I can't wait to see how it changes my life.
