P3’s: Private, Proper, & Pure Barre

June was full of a gentle intensity.

By gentle I mean an intensity that did not come full of force but a consistent nudge on how to implement and how to be…differently.

That this phase of my life demanded privacy. Not a boastful private life full of ego and exclusivity.

But both a challenge and an opportunity for me to hear declarations from God regarding my life and which way I should believe. This type of private life forms protection from doubt, misalignment, and unbelief.

Movement in this newfound private life required a decision to live proper.

A proper life not to be conflated with appropriation or a “what’s-widely-acceptable” life.

But proper defined as a stance that shows God my heart, mind, and spirit are under submission to things He’s spoken to me…even though those things I cannot yet see.

A stance so intentional every action of each days curated design has a sensitivity to what God has in mind.

Pure Barre I found to be a sanctuary.

A place where the mind, body, and soul could align.

A room full of other women who too committed to get in tune. Craving a body they loved, full of discipline, and free range on how it moves.

Success in this sanctuary, insisted I commit to running my own race. Moving as if it were only myself and the instructor in the room.

Full of gentle intensity and that was just June.
