 <\/p>\n

INTENTION & DESIRE<\/strong><\/h1>\n

YOUR \u00a02018 INTENTIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Set your Intentions & Desires\u00a0 for the Year<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t put it off \u2013 we are at the END of January.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Begin FEBRUARY with a NEW START for 2018<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

PLANT YOUR SEEDS NOW<\/h2>\n

Intentions are the SEEDS<\/h3>\n

Prepare the ground now for your harvest this year.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

“He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,<\/h2>\n

and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.<\/h2>\n

So let each one give.”\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a02 Corinthians 9:6-7<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

What to dp?<\/h3>\n

Record YOUR INTENTIONS for 2018<\/p>\n

Write them down<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Put them in a word document on your computer so you can look at your list from time to time during 2018.\u00a0 You will see them growing and blossoming as the year goes by.<\/p>\n

Be sure your intentions and desires fit into God’s plan for YOU.\u00a0 Try to set aside a little\u00a0 QUIET\u00a0 TIME\u00a0\u00a0each day to DISCOVER God’s plan just for you.\u00a0 You’ll find Gods plan for your life when you stay connected to HIM through your daily prayer and Bible reading.\u00a0 God’s plans for you are far more than you can even imagine<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The KEY:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0SPEAK EACH INTENTION OUT LOUD<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Yes! Speak them out loud! Say “Thank you” to your Creator as you speak your ihtentions.<\/p>\n

Consider them as already manifest in my life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What it is\u00a0<\/strong>NOT:<\/h1>\n

Your List of INTENTIONS is not a wish list<\/h3>\n

Not a list of New Year\u2019s\u00a0resolutions<\/h3>\n

Not a goal plan<\/h3>\n

Intentions have WINGS.<\/h3>\n

Speak them out loud and consider them as already manifest in YOUR life. It is not a wish list or a list of resolutions and not even a goal plan. It is far more. Intentions have WINGS.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Join me in 2018…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you considered setting your intentions?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just ONE MORE WORD:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

While you are setting your INTENTIONS, why not also give yourself ONE WORD for the year?<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u201cONE WORD\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0you choose will become your reality in 2018.<\/p>\n

My \u201cone word\u201d for the year is\u00a0\u201cABIDE\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is my 4th<\/sup> year to embrace ONE WORD that will be for ME during the entire year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Word<\/strong><\/h3>\n

2015 was Exuberance<\/p>\n

2016 was Extraordinary;<\/p>\n

2017 was Intentional<\/p>\n

2018 is ABIDE<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also LIKE this book:<\/p>\n

Deepak Chopra\u2019s:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven Spiritual Laws\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>for\u00a0Success<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success<\/a><\/p>\n

In particular, Chapter 5: \u201cThe Law of Intention & Desire.\u201d<\/h3>\n

In just over 100 pages, Dr. Chopra covers all bases and lays down a clear path to follow. I return to this book again and again. I find it to be useful for all areas of life.<\/p>\n

ONE FINAL THOUGHT<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Caution: Do NOT tell anyone about your intentions or what they are!<\/p>\n

Keep them to yourself.<\/p>\n

Next year at this time, you\u2019ll be so happy to share them and let your friends & family know how you achieved the wonderful success you have.<\/p>\n
