THE GYM membership of SOJOURN REVOLUTION

Have you bought a gym membership but only showed up once or twice? Well, you’re not the only one. Gyms pray on customers not showing up. Just do a research and you will find out their smart business strategy. The businessman knows that humans are complacent slackers.

Just having a membership to the gym doesn’t transform us into Arnold Schwarzenegger or Anja Langer. If it was that easy then we would all look like him or her in no time.

Sojourn revolution comes by constructing new habits, and by being willing to experience discomfort through the process of becoming. It’s building a new reality and erasing the old one.

Sojourn revolution is buying the gym membership and pumping weight every week.

What is your sojourn revolution?

Going to the gym? Quitting smoking? Buying the diet book and sticking to a diet regimen? Buying the prescription and actually taking it?

Or could it be changing your attitude towards your family and friends?

Transformation is the hardest thing in life. But it’s a step forward from something bad to something good.

Today, make a decision to “be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” Proverbs 4:23, and allow Him to transform you as well.

NO CAN DO

~~~NO CAN DO~~~
At Walmart, I saw a lady at the cashier paying with a check. Nowadays that’s unusual. But a few years back that was the way to go.
The cashier would ask to write your phone number on the check. If you had your phone number printed out on it, then he/she would ask for more—like your driver’s license number, and sometimes even the social security number. The cashier would request the information because she looked closely to the check and wanted MORE personal data.
The point is that we always seem to give what is requested…and everything becomes a proof that our patience is a river of infinity in this chaotic red tape world of ours.
In our world, friends, family, strangers, are always asking for something else as if they didn’t have enough as it is. Funny thing is that humans want from others instead of asking from themselves.
Saying no, then, is not such a bad idea…it's a boundary of finiteness.

“…but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No…” Mat 5:37
At times, "no can do,” is an item.

PERFECT, IMPERFECT OR COULD BE BETTER?
An English professor asks each student to write a short bio and submit a picture.
God asks each of His followers to write a short bio and submit a picture.
Would the bio be written the same?

HURRY UP LIFE!!!

HURRY UP LIFE!!!
Why are we always in a hurry thinking that the next minute will be better than the one right now?
Hurrying up life is like taking life for granted.
We hurry up a goodnight kiss as if our loved one will be there tomorrow for certain. We forget to appreciate the people that are closest to us.
We hurry up moments in life because we take the little special moments for granted, while in actually, the little moments are the most special ones in life.
So today, make some room to smell the flowers, love the one next to you with all your heart, and appreciate being alive.
SLOW DOWN!!!

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT NUMBERS

EVERYTHING IS ABOUT NUMBERS.
Do I have the right number? Do you?
…the right number of siblings, children, cars, and of course- credit cards?
With the right number we compare what we have with our neighbors, and then we calculate if the grass is greener on the other side.
Then if the neighbors' grass is greener, we will be unhappy, and if our grass is greener we will falsely think we are happier.
That's measuring it the wrong way. That is a trap of mirroring our value according to the one next to us.
Measuring our value should not be a reflection of how others see us, or how we measure up according to our neighbors.
Measuring our value should be a reflection of how God sees us and our walk according to His decrees. That is the only way to have the right number…
…the right number of love, giving, perseverance, endurance, trust, and faith…
Our grass will be greener if we water it with-- God.

THE APPLE TREE

There was a dying apple tree planted on a shady side of my yard.  Attempting to save the tree, I grabbed a shovel and dug in the dirt around the roots.  After long, I dragged the heavy tree to the top of the mountaintop, where there was plenty of sunlight. I dug another hole in the ground and transplanted the tree.  Months later the tree lived to produce tasty apples.

The tree was 2/3 taller than me, yet I was able to drag the tree to the top of the mountain by myself. I wanted to give up the task because the tree was very heavy, but I kept going on. I had the mentality that no matter how hard the job was, I could going to get the job done. I didn’t get discouraged by the obstacles. I was able to outstand the difficulty of the job by not giving up.

I was able to eat spring apples the next year!

How many times do we give up on something right before a breakthrough?

“Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.” Proverbs 4:26

One day your greatest supporter could turn into your greatest enemy.
One day your vast assets could turn into bankruptcy.
One day your stable health could turn into illness.
Life is a journey of uncertainties.
Have faith.
Trials are the bread of faith.
Leave yourself in the Hand of the One who doesn’t change.

FOGGY MIRROR

FOGGY MIRROR

"Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?" asks the villainess wicked Queen in Snow White…

Most of us can’t resist passing by a mirror to check how we look. Then we wonder: “Do I look fat, thin, pretty, young, attractive; how’s my hair, my skin; will others like how I look?

But do we know how we look through other’s lenses? Nah…

Also, do we know how others interpret our lives? i.e.: happiness, sorrows, love, hatred the way we know ourselves? Nah…

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Interpretations are subjective for the mirror of our lives are always foggy from other’s angle and even through our own eyes.

"Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?"

“The fairest?” The mirror answers: “It is as the mirror face reflects face, and the heart of human reflects human, as the face reflects God.”

What do you say to your best friend whose dream door has been flung closed?

You don’t say anything…you hug, listen, and love.

A hug gives your friend a chance to feel secured and loved.

A listening ear gives a chance for your friend to reorganize her/his thoughts.

Love heals every tear, for loves comes from the heart of God.
