Grab-n-Go's are our summer time snack.  Something short for you to listen to while you enjoy the summer time sun.  We like to joke about pop tarts.  Did you know that there are directions on the packaging that tells you how to cook them.  There are 2 options.  1) You can pop them in the toaster for one minute or 2)If you are in a hurry pop them in the microwave for 2 secs!  And we have concluded that if you are so busy and only have 2 secs for breakfast then you need to slow down. 

Don't be a microwave tart!  Be a pop tart! 

Seriously though, it does seem that life flies by and when you finally get to lay your head down on your pillow you have a brief moment to think about your day.  Was it productive?  Did you accomplish everything you needed?  And most important did you see people?

We do need to slow down and live intentionally!  If you want to lose weight you need to be intentional about it.  Weight just doesn't fall off miraculously (believe me I know - the struggle is real).  If you want to save money you have to be intentional - money doesn't grow on trees (believe me I've been searching). 

Dr Randy Carlson explains what it means to live intentionally:  The Intentional Life is a practical way of living as God would have you live, designed to help you solve common problems you encounter in your personal and family relationships. It will help you make better decisions in every area of your life. But more than that, Intentional Living can empower you to move beyond mere problem solving to achieve your greatest hopes for the future.

We at Give 'em Heaven want to encourage you to be intentional about being a witness of Jesus Christ to the world around you.  But that just doesn't happen naturally, just like my weight doesn't miraculously fall off, or my college saving account  just doesn't grow on trees. 

Jesus tells us to "take up our cross DAILY and follow Him."  In simple terms: 
Daily we should acknowledge our Lord and Savior and praise Him for His incredible underserving love towards us and then we should go out into the world and share that Love with others. 

Don't be a microwave tart - Be a Poptart. 

How are you living intentionally?  We would love to hear from you.  Your story may be an encouragement to someone else.  We are all in this journey together.  Send us a message either by email or voicemail on our website:  giveemheaven.life
