Living intentionally

This afternoon we went for a ride around Pukekohe, after all the rain we made the most of some summer sunshine at last!  The boys took turns to "be in charge", to decide the route.  It was lovely watching them be the leader, heady with the control!

I love the whirringclicking sound of my wheels as they spin and it made me think of another blog I read today about living intentionally.  I have been thinking about that word "intentional" a lot and think it might be my word for 2012.  In life, like riding a bike, you have to actually pedal to move forward and yes, it is hard work but there is a power in it too, feeling your muscles burn and then the freedom when you get to freewheel down hill with the wind on your face.

My grandfather always used to say "A car is easier to steer when the wheels are moving".  He was a wise man.  I guess that's the same principle.  And I think that God helps us along our path when we are making an effort to move forward too, you can't steer a parked car.

Yes, I think that's my word for 2012.  Intention. x
