John has an old friend here he went to school with. They graduated together. When we came to visit in May we were able to meet her. She was awesome and from that moment on the Lord really gave me an excitement to get to know her.
A couple weeks ago Jenn and I had her over to visit with us and so the little boys can play together (I like to call what they do Mini People Community time). We were chatting away and she asked us "out of the blue" when are we going to start training? I looked at her confused and said training for what? Spanish? She responded exercise...she then proceeded to let me know that she does personal training on the side! Awesome. So we set up a date. Things didn't exactly work out as planned for our first exercise date, but regardless a few days later we were finally able to get together.
Wednesday evening came and after just hanging out a while we decide to do a little exercising. She taught us a few Spanish dancing moves (not pictured for fear of looking like a complete fool to you). We had a blast. We scheduled to hang out again. Friday, 9:30 am, after I had had a pretty rough morning we get down to business and do some real exercising. We did "Insanity" together and really worked out hard. Afterwards we practiced our dancing moves (again, not pictured). Working out together gave us a chance to laugh together, talk together and be vulnerable in a unique sort of way.
So is the beginnings of a new community. Sharing time together doing everyday things and allowing the Lord to use that time for His Glory. Out of my lack of access to a gym birthed a time to spend with someone new. Remember we have lots of things that we "want" in this world but the Lord knows what is best for different times in our lives. Pretty fabulous.
