Half Full

I will not talk about stress. I will NOT talk about stress. I will relax. I will calm down. I will be fine. Deep breath in. 2. 3. 4. Deep breath out. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me...

I’m Christopher

To catch you up: My life has been crazy for the past several years. So much is changing all around me and I’m having trouble trying to make sense of it all. So, I’m taking a year to myself to try to define who I am, understand life, and...

Home Again, Home Again

Have you ever been away from home for an extended period of time? Maybe it was a summer camp, or college, or something more extravagant. Regardless of where it was or how long, do you remember the feeling you had when you got home after you’d been away? You...

Doctor’s Orders: Rest

Alright folks. It’s time. Here it is, in the flesh (well, in the pixels): the last post about being so stressed out. Now, I know what you’re all thinking “But Christopher, we love hearing you complain so much! What will we do without your whiny posts about how terrible...

Stress: Home Remedies

So, I need to be done talking about stress. I’ve been so focused on stress in these blogs that I’ve had no escape from it in reality. It’s like having a cold that just won’t go away: I just need to go to the doctor and get the medicine...

Reputation

One of the big things I’ve been learning lately is how to be me. I’ve discovered that I have a say in who I am. So, tonight I spent some time jotting down some attributes that I want to posses. When other people look at me, I want them...

What I’m learning from Goodbyes

 Sundays are always great days and today has been no exception. Today started off with me getting a ton of homework done (always nice to feel accomplished). Then, I went home for the afternoon and got to hang out with my family before they left for a show. After...

Balance: Not my Forte

Today was a day filled with all sorts of different lessons to be learned. I mean, let’s be 100% honest here, every day is filled with its own trials, challenges, accomplishments, and beautiful little metaphors for life. I suppose that’s one of the things that I’m growing to learn....

Deadlines and Sickness got me like

Zero words. Zero thoughts. I literally have no idea what to write about tonight. I don’t have any witty comment about anything that happened. I have no creative spin on the events of my day. I have no life lesson to share from today. So, I don’t know what...
