"Every single thing we do is called to be an act of worship." - Sid Hielema This quote is the inspiration for this blog as I have reflected on it and really thought deeply on what exactly this means to me and my relationship with both God and the people around me. This quote does hold a lot of weight whether or not we as people accept that and realize it. What made me realize this was the recent media fast I had for three days and being removed from most of the technology I use to fill my day to day life. I had the realization that in a sense these devices and such controlled me and pulled me away from the things that matter rather than helping me get closer to what I should be focusing on like I try telling myself they do. In reality, my phone is more there for a distraction when I need it rather than just communicating with my friends and family. Once that was gone, I felt like I had nothing to do and honestly felt empty. From that point on I knew I had to do something abo...

College is a weird, unique and at the same time constraining and liberating place to be for me. Its not the environment I thought it was, but at the same time its a good thing yet a bad thing.

Is God going to show me the way or is he letting me make my own decision? I do not know exactly what he wants for me as of right now, but I do have a strong idea of what it is and where he wants me...

What do you worship? Not only in the religious sense, but also in your daily life? It is a weird question to ask, but if you really think about it hard enough you'll find that you worship things you don't even intend to. What I mean by worship is in the sense of that either controlling your life or being an everyday part of it at almost every second and basically is just an addiction or bad habit you cannot get rid of or stop. This obviously will differ from person to person and will change as we age and go through life because our tastes change and our outlook on the world along with what surrounds us. I know, for most of this generation at least, it is our mobile devices. Whether it be cell phones, tablets, mobile gaming hardware, virtual reality headsets and whatever else they're inventing now a days. I see a lot of people also being in love with the idea of having wealth, but I mean who wouldn't be? I think most of us can agree we would want to live comfortably with...
