A Letter of Gratitude to the community of Ocala ALIGN

 Philippians 2:1-2

Reflections of Love

I filled the subject line with “blessed journey” because I truly feel offering fitness classes with you has built and formed ALIGN into what I am proud it is today. You are some of the most gracious I’ve ever shared space with. You fill the room with determination, love, laughter, and the presence of your spirit fills the room with the light of the Holy Spirit reflected on your faces. I’ve enjoyed seeing those faces all scrunched up at times trying a new funky pose or flipped upside down smiling like we did just last week! And then calm and serene while joining in community to conclude class in the moment of centering prayer.

A Surprising Journey

This thought-filled reflection is one I hope isn’t new news to you! I’ve been gushing about how wonderful you are for months now J. We are at a junction though in the journey, and I wish I could talk to each one of you about it personally but my timeline doesn’t allow it. On Friday, I was offered a position in Orlando at an architecture firm. My degree and experience is in this field so I believe it is wise for me to take and I will begin on Tuesday.

We WILL have classes this Wednesday at PAC & a special celebration class next Monday at 5:30pm, more info on that later. This certainly doesn’t change how much I cherish these times together. I look forward to someday seeing you all drop by at my sometime-in-the-I’m-not-sure-when-future space in Orlando! Please pray I continue to find time and opportunities to share and express ALIGN fitness classes in the Winter Park area while I return to architecture work full-time. My heart absolutely loves sharing ALIGN! Many have already asked that I keep you posted on that. If you’d like you can help out now by going online to submit your recommendation!

Looking Forward

How will I continue to care for you? Well you bet I will! I wish I could have had someone trained by now to help guide you in future classes, but at this point there is not yet anyone in Ocala who has risen to offer this unique type of fitness classes with a Christian foundation. However, one of my training experiences was with the founder of WholyFit, Laura Monica, and while we are very different people, I can attest strongly that our time together was Christ-centered and her ministry focused. The movements of WholyFit provide challenge and spiritual encouragement many have come to love. Some videos you may enjoy are offered by WholyFit (I’ve done the Psalm 63 one and enjoyed it).

As you explore other options in Ocala, please make sure that you are sensitive and biblically discerning to very slick and clever deceptive philosophies. Many studios don’t even realize that is what they are sharing. Enjoy the movements, but protect your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. And when one day I get connected with a video set-up, YOU will be the first community to receive MY premier ALIGN video! Do you hear “group video class?!”

The heart of man plans his way,

but the Lord establishes his steps.

I pray you will continue well on your journey to living a life centered on Christ, that each day you find rest in His loving arms as you walk in His strength the life God has given you – wherever the road may take you as well. Keep me posted on how you are doing and where life takes you. If you ever want ALIGN at a women’s retreat, we’ve done those, so you know who to call!

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.”

With love and abundant gratitude,

Becky
