Hawk Nelson recently announced that frontman Jason Dunn is leaving the band to pursue a solo career. As the group is in transition, they will not be part of the program at our 2012 Revolve Tour Dream On events. Although Hawk Nelson will no longer be with us, Dream On events will continue to include a terrific concert by a fantastic music artist. We’re still working out some details, but we can tell you that we’ll welcome KJ-52 back to the Revolve stage at several events. Stay tuned for specifics on who will perform in which cities.

Happy People think about Their Future

When you think about your future, you are doing all kinds of things to your brain and your heart and your body that you don’t understand. There’s a fun little exercise I do with kids sometimes. I give them a broomstick and tell them to hold it in the palm of their hand. I ask them to focus on the bottom inch of the broomstick in their hand, to stare at it up close and then to try and balance it. And they can’t do it. The get mad. They think it’s a trick, especially the boys. But then after I calm them down, I ask them to do the same thing but to stare at the top of the broomstick instead. With almost no effort, they balance the broomstick perfectly. Then I ask them to turn the broomstick sideways and think of it as a timeline. If that bottom inch represents right now, and you only focus on it, then the future has no balance. But when you have your eyes set on future ideas, today usually finds a way to balance it self out. When you set your eyes on something greater, then you do better at today. And you usually enjoy it more too. I know it sounds like a paradox—something that can’t possibly be true— but almost anyone who has ever accomplished something great didn’t just fall into it. They dreamed it and went after their dreams. So dream a plan. Your day will be brighter and your future will glow.

Hey, I gotta “duh” comment for you.
You are alive.
“Wow, Jenna, so profound,” you may be thinking with some slight sarcasm.
No, but let’s think about it.  I don’t know about you, but a lot of times I forget that I’m breathing.  I forget that my heart is beating.  I forget life is a gift.  If you are alive (which, I’m guessing you are if you are reading this right now), what are you doing about it?  Are you pouring life into a flat screen, a trendy store, a sport, a phone, an unhealthy relationship?  Want to make something of your life?  Well, then read this next comment.
God is alive.
No sarcasm allowed after this comment.  I don’t want to hear any “duhs.”  Why?  Because if we really, I mean REALLY, believed this statement, then our lives probably wouldn’t look the way they do now. There would be less insecurity, less selfishness, less laziness, less media consumption, less confusion.
See, when we experience a relationship with a LIVING God, then we begin LIVING godly.  Our actions, decisions, words, dreams all change.  In a good way!  We live with confidence, selflessness, motivation, relationships, and purpose.  When we get to know this God who loves us inside and out, then we begin to change from the inside out.  We begin living for what we were made to do:
Make a Difference!
