Revive Our Hearts

Holiness

“The truth is, holiness is about more than following a list of rules. True holiness is always about a relationship. It’s a loving response to the God who loves us and created us to be close to Him. We’ve been called into a relationship. God’s love inspires us to reject sin and to find our deepest satisfaction in Him. Let’s live in a way that reflects our love for Him.”

Water of Life

“I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.”

 

Water of Life

Florida is surrounded by it. Just this weekend I know some of your families have been swimming in it. We often hear it recommended that we drink 8 glasses of it daily. 50-70% our body is composed of it. You know what I’m talking about don’t you? WATER.

Lately though, I’ve been getting pretty sick of drinking just water to get all I know my body needs. But so many popular options are saturated with sugar, corn syrup, chemicals and or other filler calories that just don’t make my body happy. So I’ve had to get a little creative.

I’m a big fan of mixed drinks. Now, I know what you are thinking. Yes, I like those on occasion too – haha! BUT, the mixed drink I’m referring to is mixing a little juice with water. I’ve seen a lot of my “mom-friends” mix this up for their kids: half apple, half water. So I figured why can’t I do it as well? The combo gracing my glass at the moment is a large glass of water, with less than an inch of 100% grape juice and a touch of orange. What’s your favorite go-to hydrating combo?

Here is an informative bit on water for me and you: http://youtu.be/goBmkTL6rzc

“Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.
The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’”
John 4:13-14

Cultivate the Conversation

Find what works for you

After introductions at an ALIGN fitness classes the first thing you will hear is, “Find what works for you.” We celebrate the creativity of the Lord through the value of our created individuality.

Even beyond our personal uniqueness we commune in a playfulness and exploration of the unique of challenges faced daily, hourly and minute by minute. Those at ALIGN fitness classes encourage each other to challenge our minds and bodies, because without challenge, we cannot experience the bounty of growth.

Within challenge lies the possibilities. As we begin listening to our bodies we develop a constructive dialogue between mind, body and soul that draws in deeper and grows up stronger. Our goal as ALIGN instructors is to help guide you during a small part of that journey in the presence of each other during class.

We dialogue to find what works for ourselves. Some days it’s modifying poses we normal tackle with ease to respect the emotional battle of our hearts. Other days its placing our bodies into postures we’ve not expressed before through and to symbolize the conquering of our minds fears and anxieties. Include the Lord in your conversation. Remember no act is too small for God – whether we eat, drink, workout, or breath deep do all for the glory of God. What magnificent expression we have privilege to be part of daily!

Do not fear the conversation of body, mind, and soul. Conversation is beauty, this conversation is holistic living. Cultivate a constructive conversation. Embrace it!
