It’s been about 5 months since I stepped into a CrossFit class and about 2 months since I went to a Fitness class at Legion of Power CrossFit. Things seem to get in the way like not having a job and once I got a job, I was scheduled on the only day I could get to the gym which is Saturdays. My heart couldn’t wait any longer and this week, I coughed up the 15 bucks and popped into the 5 am class even after being sick for a week.
Oh, I wasn’t disappointed! Coach Aaron programmed a mean WOD that included the assault bike and hang squat cleans (one exercise I hate and one I love in that order). The feel of the steel bar coming up to my shoulders in an effortless catch then rising with all the weight to a triumphant stand was incredible even when it came down to two hang squat cleans at 107.5 pounds. The effects on my traps and quads are still felt as I write this! The CrossFit love have never faded and if I could have stayed for the 6 o’clock class, I would have. It has already been decided that I will make it to a CrossFit class every month even if it’s just once. I’m coming back!
CrossFit isn’t the only thing I’m coming back to. At church, I recently joined the worship team. This time last year, I had to stop singing due to vocal nodules and never really went back. I even swapped churches feeling that my time of healing was over and I could now move on. There's something special that happens to me when I open up my mouth and allow a melody or harmony to flow out. It’s like God and I are the only ones in the room and He’s hearing not just my pitch, tone or words but my heart.
Psalm 57:7 My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise.
David talked about being loyal in this scripture. He was facing eminent doom as King Saul and his army were out looking for David to kill him. No matter what was going on, David had to stop and give praise to God because of His mercy that never ends.
Psalm 57:9 I will praise You, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing to You among the nations.
It’s my relentless love for a creator who loves me because I’m me that leads me to sing in any capacity.
I look forward to returning to what brings me joy. Of course, one is more important than the other but it so happens to be happening at the same time:)
