My life has been quite busy recently. So much so that the blog has taken a backseat. Between finishing up the youth basketball league that I run and planning for the summer (we host over 23 different camps in our gym/building), I have had a lot of my mind.

Sometimes when life gets so busy, I tend to forget to slow down and enjoy life. But slowing down and enjoying life is what’s most important! Every day is a new opportunity to make a difference in the world. I want to be more present where I am. Does work need to get done? Of course! But it doesn’t mean that I can’t be the best Allen I can be.

Sometimes I need this reminder. Otherwise I get so caught up and distracted that I miss the little (and big) opportunities to truly impact the world around me. May we not get so busy that we forget this truth.
