Intentional Living | Tea Time with Amber [Episode 2]

In a world that often feels chaotic and hurried, living intentionally can help us focus on what truly matters. Intentional living is about making deliberate choices that align with our faith and values, rather than just going through the motions.

Figure out what will please Christ, and then do it.

Ephesians 5:10, MSG

Ephesians 5:10 is such a good reminder to live with purpose. As a homemaker, intentional living isn’t only about organizing my schedule or decluttering my home—that’s not the objective; it’s about aligning my daily actions with my faith and values.

Earlier this year, I lost my job. Amidst the transition, our house started feeling chaotic and messy again, and I was overwhelmed. So, I overhauled my home management routines to further simplify them, and I started an entire house decluttering and organizing project.

Implementing these changes has been a tremendous support in my pursuit of a slow and simple lifestyle, and it’s brought me so much contentedness. It’s bringing more freedom into my life to live it on purpose. It’s giving me the space that I need to reflect on what truly matters, like what I can do today that will bring me closer to Christ and help me to live out His love to those around me. Whether it’s through prayer and meditating on God’s Word, spending quality time with my family, or even the way I care for my home, I’m aiming to be purposeful in every moment.

I want to hear how you practice intentional living in your own life! What steps do you take to align your actions with your faith and/or values? What’s your favorite way to practice intentional living? Do you enjoy planning, decluttering, mindful homemaking tasks, reflecting in your journal, or something else? Please share your thoughts in the comments or you can join this week’s discussion on my YouTube channel’s Community page!

Thank you so much for joining me for this episode of Tea Time with Amber! Remember, living intentionally with Christ at the center can transform our daily lives into something truly meaningful. Until next time, take care and be blessed!
