REST.

So many people have asked me "Alex, are you okay?" "Is Onwerd still a thing?" "When will you upload more on your site?" "What have you been doing?"

All of these questions and concerns have triggered me to analyze my actions.

Why haven't I uploaded more photos?

Why haven't I created more blogs?

What have I truly been doing with my life?

To answer the questions.... I've been resting!!

Yes, resting! You know when there is inactivity for a particular project, when you are motionless and most importantly receiving peace of mind.

Resting from Onwerd just became happenstance. I needed time to recharge, time to clear my mind, and time to prioritize some things in my life. As the summer begin to end, more and more things fell onto my plate so I basically needed to "Get my life!"

During my time of rest I received a 90 Day Devotional, "Awaken" by Priscilla Shirer. On Day 3 of the Awaken Devotional, Priscilla talked about how resting is not an excuse for the lazy but a wise investment for the diligent. 

Funny thing is, I am so committed to Onwerd that I decided to give it some rest so I can get ready for the upcoming season. A season where everything that I sowed in my resting period will begin to harvest. So no, I did not give up. I just needed some time to recalibrate why I started and rediscover that joy that I received when Onwerd was just beginning.

Nothing is wrong with resting as long as you get up once your resting period is over and move toward peace, move toward growth, move toward consistency and move toward your destiny. 

You Got This!
