Doodle, scribble, write and sketch! You may already keep a journal of some kind or you might like to start one as you participate in this Award. It can be a helpful method of processing yours thoughts and experiences, capturing insights and a way to keep track of how things (and you) have changed, and if prayers and questions have been answered.

In this activity you will go for a walk in nature and engage with the Holy Spirit.

In this activity you will choose one or more worshipful songs that speak of the character and work of the Holy Spirit.  

In the Bible the Holy Spirit is pictured as a dove, a flame and as a wind. In this activity you will choose one of these symbols to reflect on.

Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?

If you have been inspired by the Ridley Award podcast conversation so far, perhaps you could record your own? Or even video interview -one to one or with a group.
Most smartphones or mobile devices can be used to record audio and video, and their are many free apps you can use to edit and produce satisfying results.

For this activity you will be identifying and spending time in ways that bring rest and regeneration to mind, body and soul.
