Technology Challenge Update

Starting My Technology Challenge
Like many people in my culture, I have grown used to being on edge and spend a lot of time playing around on the internet and my phone with little real productivity. I continually check my phone, find myself wasting time on it whenever I am waiting for something or someone, and spend more time on the internet than I realize I’m wasting. It is not what I want to do my life or what I want to become.

The Question Underneath
The truth is that my life was turned upside down for the last few years and especially in the last year and a half. Things changed one after another and I was so busy in that span of time that my soul dried up and I became a desert. In that span of time, I’ve experienced:

Digging In
There is something quite different about owning versus renting. I feel settled here, at peace knowing we will be staying for quite some time.

I’m Everybody Friendly
How can so many people write off such a huge segment of our humanity because of a label? This can be applied to race or gender or any number of characteristics, but none of the labels can ever begin to describe the soul, that eternal light and energy that is so breathtakingly beautiful to behold.

Finding My Roots
Looking around me, I can see that sometimes we get so wrapped up in our business, we lose ourselves. The wind comes, our branches shake, and we forget to grip the earth with the roots God gave us. We don’t remember who we are and why we’re here, we feel ungrounded and become blind to what is most important.
Cover Choice for “Finding Love’s Way”
Picking the cover for Finding Love’s Way was the hardest decision I’ve had to make yet. I was stuck between two options: a brown one with beige lettering and a beige one with brown lettering. They both fit different aspects of the book and I loved them both for different reasons.
