I just got word that I was accepted for a scholarship to get certified in Pop Pilates! Along with my U-Jam and Bootybarre certifications, I will continue being able to teach awesome classes that also double to keep me in shape!
I was marvelling today at how good God is, working through our different circumstances. As a fat kid in college and beyond, I never in a million years could have pictured myself being in shape, much less teaching fitness classes.
I always marvelled at fitness instructors. I figured they must exist on some higher plane (I now laugh heartily at this notion). We are just regular people who enjoy getting our butts kicked and kicking other's butts at the same time. I'm far from super fit, but I am maintaining a good, consistent workout and eating routine because I have to.
Much like God kept me in church by giving me a church job, God has kept me in shape by giving me a gym job. Over the past year, the emotional roller coaster I've been on could have left me much worse off if I had allowed depression to sink me. Normal Amy would rather lie in bed for hours after work than haul her yoga pants to the gym and smile at people while sweating and calling out cues. But it is good for me. It's good for others. And God is good for giving it to me.
This entire week I've been running around getting things done to start teaching voice. I'm more organized this year, because I know what I expect since it's my 2nd year in this district. It is fun and feels exciting, like the start of a new chapter. I am really enjoying my life at the moment.
Never feel like life is ended. Things change, and we can see them as detriments or jump on it and see change as opportunities. The former is easier. Let's do the later :)
