im always last minute wrapping gifts for a christmas party. i work so much better under pressure. my dad got me an ipad air. i dont think ill use it much, but we'll see. and i also got a hydro flask thing. And my dad is like, "i don't get it, it's not like they invented the thermos." lol. I think it's interesting how u can know ur family members for ur entire life, and yet learn something new and interesting about them. May sound strange, but lately ive really admired my parents. They're such good parents. They're relational, considerate, and hard workers. I don't nearly express enough appreciation.
in the past few days i heard two little girls sing a christmas song, My neighbor's daughter yelling Jingle Bells, and another girl singing Oh come all ye faithful. there's something about christmas songs that jus makes ya jolly and joyful. Do those adjectives mean the same thing? For christmas i jus gave my little cousin tickles and cuddles lol. And she tried to give me kisses and tackles which i usually need to fight off. music and little happy kids are great.
i already came up with my new years resolutions. sure i make similar resolves every year, and tend to fail by February. but hey least it's a step in the right direction. the reason most ppl dont follow through with their goals is the lack of discipline, accountability, motivation, not really wanting to change, or their goal isnt specific enough, or it's just too drastic of a change.. Most resolves if u think about it are all connected to health. so i came up with one resolution that holistically encompasses the physical, emotional/ mental and spiritual aspects of health.
im only gonna have one new years resolution. and im gonna do my best to hold myself to it. My new year's resolution is to exercise/ or go for a jog/walk at least four times a week. At first i thought daily, but that jus aint gonna happen. if i dont make it to the gym, at bare minimum, i need to go for a walk, it's really not that hard chris. it doesnt even take that long. i dont care if its too dark or late. i dont care if u feel lazy or wanna nap. i dont care if its hot or cold. ur excuses suck. mm.. but if it's pouring rain ur exempt. lol. dear God. pls make my mom let me buy a dog to walk with this year.
the old married couple i used to live with for a while used to go walking for a few miles every morning. and they're 80! and then they'd listen to the audio bible while eating their delicious cooked breakfast every morning. talk about healthy habits.
Here's why even taking a 30 minute music walk can help our health. 1) Going to the gym to exercise or going for a jog around the neighborhood is obviously great for physical health. And for the most part i think i eat pretty healthy, i think? 2) It's good for emotional health and probably one of the best ways to relieve stress. If u have a mental job u need a physical hobby outlet and vise versa. 3) exercise is somehow correlated to spiritual health somehow. It triggers meditation, prayer, and at least for me it's so much easier to connect with God. and 4) relational health if i had friends
When i go for a jog, which eventually turns into a walk, I go to my favorite place in the world. it's jus an average park. but it's much more than that. There's only one big tree, a baseball field, and a scenery that looks over all the city lights, pearl harbor, and i can usually catch the sun setting behind the west side mountains. All that's missing is a bunch of puppies to roll around with in the grassy field. There's jus something so soothing and calming about that park. It's where i find the most peace.
My friend always says, "Stay with God." And i kept thinking about what that meant. Staying, being, not removing from, belonging, dwelling, waiting, abiding, remaining and just enjoying the presence of God. "Remain in me, as i also remain in you." - John 15:4 I always saw "devotional time" as reading scriptchur or a devotional book. but no. simply offering your heart and being with God is devotion.
At any moment, anywhere, you can be with God. You dont need to be in deep prayer or reading the bible in church. You can be with God no matter what you're doing throughout the day. And sometimes exercise helps clear out things that may be distracting your mind. And when ur body is pooped out because u did too many squats and lunges, sometimes it makes it easier to commune with our loving God. i dunno why, it jus is. so chris. workout / exercise at least 4 times a week. do it.

First off, I received an iPad Air last Christmas and felt that I wasn’t going to use it either, but actually, I hardly touch my laptop anymore because of my tablet. I literally take it and use it everywhere. I play my music on it when I’m trying to workout (it’s really light!) and write most of my blogs on it. You can take it anywhere! Also, I have a cool case with a dinosaur surfing on it, soooo….it’s awesome.
Also, I LOVE MY HYDROFLASK. It stays cold for days and I have literally not gone a day without it since receiving it. You’ll be amazed.
Good resolutions. I need to come up with mine too. My mom, sister and I do this thing where we come up with one to encapsulate the new year. This word embodies what we need to work on/focus on. Maybe you should try that too! It’s great motivation to be better. Good Luck!
