How's Your Soul By Judah Smith Overview

-





I read How's Your Soul with my fiancé about a year and a half ago. We would go to our favorite park, bring some bread for the ducks, and after walking around we'd sit and read this book.
It brought strength to our relationship, we created a good habit and awesome memories, as well as connecting with God differently (besides the usual going to church).


These are some of the things that I learned from this book:

1. Your soul can't be satisfied without Jesus: See, people get this one mixed up. No partner, dream job, dream house, etc can fulfill this part of you. There is something that comes before any of these people or things, and that is, your personal time with God.

2. If you keep number one number one, then everything else falls into place:
What do I mean by this? Well, if your soul is content, you can focus on making others' day! You'll be a more positive person, more lively, and more secure of who you are. Not only who you are in God, but who you are from within. You can start your day with a different perspective, quit the pettiness, and find meaning in the little things!

3. Stop beating yourself up so hard: I am trying to learn this everyday. I look at my monthly calendar and I start to freak about all the important things coming up. I'd beat myself up for not reading the bible often (we should be concerned about this, but never losing sleep or joy because you haven't had time)

4. God's opinion about you matters the most:  Of course you want to have a good reputation, but sometimes no matter how much you try, people will always have all these perspectives and negative views about you. Can't help it. Focus on this, and your soul will be much happier!

So there it is! I got this book at Barnes, but I've seen it cheaper on Amazon from time to time. Definitely have to check it out!

1. Testimony before the trip -Keysi Cordero Hello everyone!!! On July 16th, 2015 a team and I will be going to Chiang Mai, Thailand to share the Love of Jesus! Here's a little bit of how all of this unfolded and the things the Lord did and still is doing, in order for this trip to happen: This year the Lord put in my heart to start saving money, in my head I was like yeah... I really need to because lately I've been wasting my money unwisely (Movie theater at least once a week, dining out on weekdays etc.) But in reality the Lord had something else in store for me and I didn't understand yet. I started saving money with the idea of going to France in the summer since I was going to start my French program this fall and thought it would be good to come back with more knowledge of the language and culture, yet the doors were totally shut! The french courses weren't available for the Spring or Fall, I was told I might not be able to keep my position at work...

I Could Die In Peace I could die in peace... I've traveled the world I've experienced true love And I've served the Lord I could certainly die in peace Close my eyes and see His bliss Yet there are many other places to go There are new reasons to love And serve the Lord even better than before I could definitely die in peace Had Jesus not come to take my place I'd be lost & far from grace His abundant love that'll never cease Brings me hope so I fall in awe on my knees KC

My experience at Cyclebar (indoor cycling studio)

A Brief Overview on Fitness   So I've always disliked gyms... I haven't been to a gym since 2014. Not my style, not something I'm into at all! I played soccer my whole life or danced, and this was literally how I stayed fit and healthy for years. When I moved to the city, it was much harder to play outside or ride my bike to school. I've always been conscious of my eating habits, and the fact that I needed to do something in regards to my physical health. I took yoga this summer with my best friend and it was truly a blast! However, I didn't feel like I was sweating enough, or burning enough calories. I was worried about what my future in fitness would look like, especially with my upcoming wedding & getting closer to winter time, which limits you from any outdoor physical activities. How I got plugged in I saw different ads about Cyclebar, and I didn't really consider it till I saw that one of my classmates from high school was an instructor the...
