Last week I was standing in India meeting kids like Rahul (pictured), who are walking around with scabies on their feet because their bathing in a dirty pond. Today I'm standing on the L train back in NYC & headed into the @charitywater hq for my first day back in the office. Regardless of where your standing, you can make an incredible impact in the lives of the people standing right in front of you. It might not be not be bringing clean, safe drinking water to people or rescuing someone from a stampede of wild unicorns; but simply taking a moment to recognize that someone exists & for that very reason they're significant. #FromWhereIStand #charitywaterindia

Been exploring around NYC today trying to find a place to live. Viewed 8 different apartments, but there is one in particular that I REALLY like in Bushwick & seem like great people. Waiting to hear back from them. Fingers crossed! #tipthehat #vscocam

Back in NYC & searching for a place to live. Been fun exploring new areas & meeting random people. Trying to find something by this weekend & move in ASAP. Let me know if you know of any rad spots or people that have a spare room I could rent in Manhattan or Brooklyn.✌

Remember when I said that I was headed home from India.... 🚀 Well... our 36 hours of travel turned into 63 hours of travel 😉 It was the airport adventure of a lifetime, but I'm sure glad to be home!

A few days ago I posted a photo of Papu & shared a little about his village. Today we returned to his village and I was invited to Papu's house by his dad. His dad came and picked me up on a motorcycle & we zoomed off. When we arrived, Papu & his entire family greeted me with the most beautiful smiles & generous hospitality. Although we only got to share a few moments together the other day, it was so meaningful to Papu that he told his entire family about me. Regardless of your location, you can make a meaningful impact on those around you. Simply take a moment, and let someone know that they're important. #charitywaterindia #vscocam

Meet Dhan! Tonight I got to spend the evening in his village capturing stories with @vikharrison @jamieleighpent @tylerriewer @melissaburm @jeremysnell (pictured) & @thefishaman. It's amazing to know that people like Dhan will have an opportunity to live longer & healthier lives because of something as simple as water. #charitywaterindia

Today @jeremysnell & I went out and visited a village called Patanapalli and got to meet Dhoba (pictured). His village currently drinks from a contaminated water source & drys up during the dry season. But this September we're working to change that! #charitywaterindia #vscocam

Meet Akash! I got to hangout with him and his friends these past few days. We've adventured around the entire village, splashed around their swimming hole & even got to see where they go to school. Because of access to clean, safe water, Akash & his friends are able to spend more time in school & being kids, and less time getting sick from dirty water. #charitywaterindia

Meet Goadi! Today we visited her village and met some amazing women who made some really audacious decisions that have shaped their village for generations to come. Because of their boldness, their entire village now lives with equal access to clean water & sanitation. #charitywaterindia

Yesterday we met a man that's family was outcasted for generations because of their history of skin disease from washing with dirty water. Now his family is free of skin disease & is accepted by others in their community because of equal access to clean, safe drinking water. #WaterChangesEverything #charitywaterindia

Meet Papu Papu! Today we visited his village that used to be divided by the caste system. About a year and a half ago our @charitywater partners here in India began the process of establishing equality, dignity & health with 100% participation in developing a community-led clean water and sanitation project. Now the village lives together in true community and Papu Papu gets to play with ALL the other kids his age. #WaterChangesEverything

My mom is doing great. All of her levels are pretty stable. She's sleeping a lot & has also been doing some lung strengthening exercises. She was even able to walk a short distance today! Still a long way to go & still in some pain, but as always she's being a champion. I've been spending a lot of time in this hospital building 🏥 The first day we came here, my mom commented on how expensive these windows must be, because they don't make squeegees to clean ovals :) Love her so much :)

🎈THANK YOU!🎈 🎈THANK YOU!🎈 🎈THANK YOU!🎈 My moms heart surgery is over & everything went really great! She's in ICU for recovery now. She's on a breathing tube & in a lot of pain because the drugs are wearing off. But she can hear me talking and will squeeze my hand in response. They said it'll be about 6 hours before she's awake. I can't thank everyone enough for all of your amazing prayers and support... (And for the valet driver holding this ballon for so long 😃). Now it's just praying for a quick recovery with zero complications. !! THANK YOU !!

"Your grace abounds in deepest waters Your sovereign hand Will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me You've never failed and You won't start now" // @HillsongUnited ------------------- Thanks again for all of your prayers. We just arrived at the hospital with my mom. Surgery begins at 1pm PST & will last for 3 hours. She told me as we left the house that she's feeling very scared today. We held hands & I turned on some worship music as I prayed for peace. There's nothing like the presence of God in times like this & the peace that He brings. It shifts the atmosphere. My mom is certainly feeling your prayers and support. I can't thank you enough.

Today has been SUPER awesome. Had meetings early today in Seattle, toured the @filson1897 headquarters, had coffee with @brandonhill, quick portrait session with @johnkeatley, awesome chat with @reedt10, and now grabbing a quick bite of delicious food with @theblackanchor / @imstephenjones. All in all, today was super amazing. #ReadyForBed

In the fall of 2007 I met Jairus for the first time in a season of transition in my life. Since then, Jairus has become one of my best friends on the planet. Countless late night adventures, catching things in fire, cycle-graming, camping, dropping hundreds of bouncy balls down five flights of stairs, and even a few MarioKart 64 tournaments. And yes, he's even beat me a few times at MairoKart (once...maybe😉) I would not be who I am today if it wasn't for people like Jairus in my life. Whatever you do, remember that people are not a platform, people are people, and your biggest opportunity to change the world is loving the person right in front of you.
