Every so often I get inspired to rebuild or rework to start again fresh on a project. With the start of 2014 there are so many firsts about to happen, such as owning a home and having a baby that it felt like the right time to overhaul JustinHough.com into a completely new design.
When God speaks we should be patient and listen to what He has to say to us. A few years ago during a youth summer camp they gave every camper a pamphlet that challenged them to answer three questions each day after their personal Scripture reading time.
When it comes to working on the web I spend time learning a new skill. Not only is it important to be good at any job, but any worker needs to keep up with the industry and best practices that will help them as an individual to be better at what they do.
The mornings I spend in the Word are the best by far. It allows me the time to recenter my heart and life to the beats of The Lord.
I spent the day with my wife registering for our baby shower and surprisingly it was fun being able to see what things we would need to care for our daughter after her birth. There's no shortage of days or hours for that matter that I don't imagine what my daughter will be like or do.
I tend to be a patient person, well, most of the time I am patient, however most of the time I have noticed that I lose myself to anger.
As my wife and I patiently await the birth of our first child we're each getting excited in our own ways. For my wife she's desperately waiting for the day she gets to feel the baby inside her. Doctors generally call these "pregnancy flutters".
Music inspires me, especially worship music. After hearing a few lyrics from a song titled "Build Your Kingdom Here" I went home found the music video on YouTube and have been listening to it at least once every day, if not more.
As I start writing a new piece I imagine what it'll look like on the shelf of a bookstore. What it will sound like sliding off the shelf? What a reader will see when looking at the cover or casually flipping through its pages?
It has been a few months since I got my first real fountain pen and I feel elated by the whole experience. Now every time I put pen to paper it feels as if only good things can come out (well, not all the times, but the feeling is great).
