Don’t Be Surprised

There are some things that shouldn’t surprise us:

Winter blooming to life each spring.
The sun rising every morning.
Our ongoing need for food, water, air, and rest.
Change being an essential part of life.

Likewise, there’s no escaping the fact that life is messy and full of trouble. This beautiful world is fractured. But despite this, Jesus offers us hope:

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33

What “things” had Jesus just told His disciples?

He was honest about the grief and pain they’d endure but also about the future joy they’d experience. He was preparing their hearts for His death and their persecution but also for His resurrection and their salvation. Jesus’ encouragement to His disciples is also an encouragement to us…

We shouldn’t be surprised that this world is full of challenges—but Jesus is bigger than it all.

Following God doesn’t automatically erase the pain of the world—at least not yet. We still have injustice and evil to fight. But God has not left us to our own devices. We have not been abandoned to ourselves. We can trust in Him wholeheartedly as we wait for His return.

So, as you think about the trouble in your life—whether it’s your health, relationships, finances, or other difficulties—remember:

You can still have peace, you can still take heart, and you can still be comforted because Jesus Christ has already overcome the world!

37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti was identified as the person fatally shot by officers from the Department of Homeland Security in south Minneapolis on Saturday. Family members say Pretti worked at the VA hospital as an intensive care nurse and cared deeply about people. Officials described him as armed and resisting attempts to disarm him, but city leaders and residents are condemning the shooting amid heightened tensions over immigration enforcement actions in the city.

The Gym will be open tomorrow only at 10 am.

Little tip for Kickboxing.
A typical kickboxing exercise regimen might include a warm-up, followed by a combination of techniques like jabs, crosses, hooks, kicks, and knee strikes, interspersed with cardio intervals like jumping jacks or burpees. It's important to also include cooldown stretches to prevent injury and improve flexibility. Depending on your fitness level, goals, and instructor, the intensity and duration of each segment may vary.

Kickboxing exercises and reps for weight loss
For weight loss through kickboxing exercises, focus on a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) approach. Here's a sample regimen:

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of jogging, jumping jacks, and dynamic stretches.
Technique drills: Perform various kickboxing techniques such as jabs, crosses, hooks, front kicks, roundhouse kicks, and knee strikes for 30-60 seconds each, alternating between punches and kicks.
Cardio intervals: Incorporate 1-2 minutes of high-intensity cardio exercises like burpees, mountain climbers, or high knees between technique sets.
Circuit training: Create circuits combining kickboxing techniques with bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges, and planks. Aim for 10-15 reps of each exercise, repeating the circuit 2-3 times.
Cool-down: Finish with 5-10 minutes of stretching focusing on the arms, legs, and core muscles.
Perform this regimen 3-4 times per week, gradually increasing the intensity and duration as your fitness improves. Remember to stay hydrated and listen to your body to prevent overexertion. Consistency and proper nutrition are key for effective weight loss.
