Created with purpose. Called to love.
The best part of learning is just loving where you're at. #AllenStone 😀 Ever wonder what the story of strangers are? I mean you've got to see people on your commute to work, school, the gym - you name it. Strangers are everywhere. Strange eh? 😛 It's always during the summer months that I go [...]
Ever have those days when you sit outside on the porch, covered with a throw blanket, and birds are chirping, hours after the sun has set? I have. 🙂 And it was that summer evening that I came to a realization: I'm not content with wanting to be content because I'm always looking for more. [...]
Same people, same places, same old routine gets boring. Get out. Explore. Meet new people, try new food, discover more of me. I'm stuck in the same story line, looking for a new plot to write. I know I can't do it here, I need to move, see, pave a new path, start a new [...]
Fathers are important. They're the head of the family, they're the leaders of the household. Everyone has a dad, a father-figure, a mentor, or a best friend. An integral lesson about fathers is found in Hebrews 12:7-11 "Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by [...]
...it's time to step up your creativity. Inspiration is everywhere. It's the caricature in front of my desk, it's the calendar hanging on my wall, it's the dog barking outside, it's the dandelions floating in the air, it's the song I just heard on the radio - see, and that's just the closest "everywhere" for [...]
Do you find yourself running back to old, deceitful, ungodly ways? Be honest with yourself, and answer yes. What you spend passive time on, selfish indulgences, and careless action - not good. Take some time and read this post of my friend in Christ, Tavares Grey. #mindfuel (that's not a typo) #faithspiration (neither is that) [...]
What an inspiring video... Maybe I could start my own non-for-profit one day... How much longer until I know what to do?... So. Many. Thoughts. This post goes out to my fellow students/graduates/mentors/anyone-who's-completed-something-significant followers. How did you know you wanted to pursue what you're pursuing? I find that there's so many options, so many opportunities, [...]
You want to be better. You want to "level up". You want to improve. I get it. Since I've been a recovering-couch-potato for nearly 2 weeks, I've actually started to hear my thoughts - mhmm, apparently it's possible. For my fellow students, you've probably made a list of things you want to accomplish in the next 4 months [...]
It's a mindset, an attitude, a lifestyle. My current read is: Everything that Remains, a Memoir by Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, also known as The Minimalists. If you haven't heard or checked them out, I totally encourage you to do so. They've got tons of resources and ideas that focus on minimalism - truly focussing on [...]
Photo: OAG Annex, Ottawa, ON. Ft. Art by Leenie Minifie. Ft. my cousin 🙂 Broken, damaged, cracked, shattered, to a million pieces. Started as a small crack in the mirror, eventually broke. How could the pieces be put together again? How could this broken piece of ugly be assembled back to its original design? Will it ever be [...]
