Many aspects define our existence: the books we read, movies and media we consume, people we interact with etc... On this site, Allen shares experience and perspectives on life - helping you dive deeper into your IDENTITY, SIGNIFICANCE and PURPOSE. Live out a life imagined… use your gifts and talents to build up others and bring glory to God. Life isn’t always fun… but it can be satisfying. The destiny God has reserved for you is beyond anything you can ask or think! And if you haven’t already - purchase a copy of his book, Transition: Breaking Through the Barriers. It’s an excellent resource that will help give you the tools to be successful in life.

I just learned a big lesson when it comes to the power of “asking”.  Here’s the story:

WRITING RESEARCH 

I’m working on a writing project for an upcoming book about a teenager who loves Track and Field.  I’ve begun doing some research and took a trip (on Friday) to the NikeTown store on 57th street in Manhattan to help me visualize certain aspects of the story.  I went to the store looking specifically for a adjustable Running Vest, which I saw online at Nike.com.  The store itself is pretty amazing and the atmosphere is rather addictive. 

 Running Vest

This is my greatest struggle in life… to overcome mediocrity.

My Greatest Struggle 1

I feel myself constantly at the window of opportunity… able to look out but unable to fully break through.

On the other side of that window is an existence I have imagined my whole life - every day - every breath - every heartbeat…

Even now as I write - tears fall from my eyes because I know the desire is strong to be free.

The first of four installments of the Rwanda-Burundi Chronicles is now up on my Transition Unleashed blogsite! Why is it there? Because I realized, from spending the last two weeks in Rwanda and Burundi, that the people of these two countries are experiencing on a large scale many of the same issues of transition that are addressed in my book. With this being the case, I’ve tied in some selected writings from Transition, that relate directly to what I experienced in Central Africa. So read it and let me know what you think.

The Rwanda-Burundi Chronicles: Part 1 of 4

Hey Everyone.  I’ve been in Rwanda, Central Africa since Thursday May 22nd.  It’s been an amazing experience so far.  I’m already planning a written piece called “The Rwanda Chronicles.”  Me, Leah and Andrew are heading to Burundi tomorrow.  Internet access hasn’t been the greatest.  Be on the lookout on June 3rd for “The Rwanda Chronicles”.

Hey everyone.  I just wanted to let you know that I’m presently in Brussels, Belgium - on my way to Rwanda and Burundi - two countries in Central Africa to do some documentary film work.  More to come in two weeks when I get back (Including photos!)  I’m traveling with two great people, the husband and wife team from Throwing Light Photography.  They produce excellent work!  Drew is a professional photographer and his wife Leah is a journalist.  You can check out their work at www.throwinglight.com.

Stay tuned.

Biola Media Conference Banner 

Just wanted to post an update.  As you already know (see my previous Biola post below) I was able to attend the Biola Media Conference in Studio City, CA.  I just found out that my quote was used in their recap of the event.  Pretty exciting.  Here’s the link below so you can check it out.
