Learning to Soar

One Key to Living Long and Strong

Learning to Soar is an important key to learn how to a long and healthy life. This involves many Biblical principles that never fail. In the development of any new habit, consistency is the key of all keys. This has been found to be in the top seven keys of those studied Living to 100 and more.

What is Soaring?

Soaring is a technique used to help oneself stretch to new levels.  It is daily (or every so many days) accountability done via journaling. I recommend doing this daily. It encompasses specific Gratitudes and Praises as well as identifying Negative Drainers that are stealing from you. Learning to soar will enable you to uncover and take action on living by your deepest core values and energy producers.

“All my springs are in You, my sources of energy and life.”  Psalm 87:7

“For God is the one who is constantly putting forth His energy in you, both in the form of your being desirous of and of your doing His good pleasure. 
Phil 2:13  (Wuest Translation)

Here are your Details for Soaring

Have at least five in your daily journaling. You may have 10, 15 or 20

What Evidence am I seeing that the Greater One Lives in Me?
What have I Accomplished, Learned, Become?

Romans 8:2 The same spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in me and
quickens my mortal body by  His spirit that lives in me.

Can we even imagine this?

Today, I praise The Lord for what He is doing in me.  As I think back over yesterday or the past few days, what am I doing, being, becoming  (something I am happy about that I sense has brought energy and joy to my day.)

Energy Stealers

Today, I am aware of these things that have the potential to impact energy negatively (stealing the energy I have).
The Word says in John 10:10 that the thief comes only to steal, to kill, and to destroy; but (Jesus says) I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.  Let’s put a stop to the thief and call on God’s promise of abundant life.

Would it be helpful for you to select a partner?  Someone in the class would be excellent. Committing to having the Lord as your soaring partner is another great option.
