more on kickboxing

Managed to be at kickboxing class today. Hurray to me! This instructor has a tendency to use graphic ways of getting us to exceute the moves correctly. Which i admit helps, cuz you know then how to aim and kick/elbow/punch accurately. But it means commands like:

"the head, the head! u're taking the head down and smash it. like that! [action: knee up]"

"shin kick! then the head! yeah, u do the shin kick to make him stumble, then kick the head!"

"box, up down up down. four times, aim - head stomach head stomach!"

and so on and so forth. Isn't my kickboxing class action-packed! Hahaha.

This week I thank God for reminding me time and again to "be still and know that [He] is God" (psalm 46:10) and to also just sit at His feet and find my rest and refreshment there (luke 10:38-42) just as Mary did.

Yes, that is what I have long forgotten to do. And that is what will be sweeter to my soul than mere ventilation and griping and passive moaning. Dear God, continue to remind this forgetful child!
