Embracing Change →
Change is a part of our every day lives. We change schools. We change jobs. We change our minds. We change our views on life and ourselves. We change where we live, where we shop and what we eat. We change friendships, relationships and love. We change our routines, our habits and our thoughts. Change is inevitable. It’s part of what it means to be alive. Most change we accept. We love...

I need more water!
The average man needs to drink 13 cups of water a day. No wonder I’ve been feeling dehydrated. I’ve only been drinking the traditional 8. Time to up my water intake!

Life of Change →
Change isn’t easy. It requires us to give up the comfort of the known. It pushes us into things we’ve never done before. It forces us to reexamine the course of our lives. It makes us wrestle with a new schedule, new routine and meeting new people. It breaks in, interrupts our neatly planned lives and throws us a curveball. We don’t tend to like change. We may want it. We...

Inhabiting Rest →
We tend to view rest as the absence of work. Rest is laying on the couch watching our favorite TV shows. Rest is going to the park and enjoying the nice day. Rest is taking that vacation to someplace exotic. Rest is reading a book, playing games with friends, or having a conversation over coffee. Rest is getting away from it all, kicking up our feet, turning off our phones and computers and...

Finding Value in our Rest →
Rest doesn’t come easy for us. We’re told to work for what we want. We’re trained to give our all in everything we do. We’re taught to pursue our dreams every second of every day. We’re convinced taking a day off, a week off, a month off will cause us to fall behind. We have been programmed to see rest in a negative light. It’s why we struggle to...

Human Be-ings, Not Human Do-ings →
Last week, I took some time off. I didn’t write. I didn’t read any blogs. I didn’t have any meetings, spend time mentoring any young people or trying to find ways to make Ignite better. I stayed up late. I slept in (on my non-work days, of course). I read. I worked out. I took up a new hobby. I worshipped and prayed and went for a few bike rides. I spent time with people I...

Went frisbee golfing today, in the 90 degree heat and now I’m wiped out. But it was a good time :D

What defines us?
christwalk: Is how we react to situations and obstacles that arise to block the path to our goals. Simply life is NOT easy. Tough decisions have to be made. Don’t be stagnant. Step up and seize the movement to truly change, stop waiting!
