It’s Thursday and I’m getting to bed and I honestly feel wiped out but SO happy with how today went with my teams. I’ve been putting in about 10-12 hours a day lately for Rogue .. between coaching teams, choreographing, managing the gym, private lessons, mixing routine music, updating the website/running social media , networking with other coaches, event planning (we have like 4 BIG events we are hosting soon!), competition travel coordinating, finishing the move in process and literally a bunch of stuff I’m not thinking of.. my days have been FULL and super productive. And I’m SO grateful to the lord for this because He’s been providing me the energy and focus to accomplish so much. Many of you know in addition to being a mom of three kids, I live with a genetic disease that leaves me with only about 25% kidney function (compared to a normal 100%) currently. This can really drain my energy and focus. Lately, though, I’ve had a wonderful streak of good days! I’ve been able to accomplish so much, and that is a huge gift. It’s what I’ve prayed for knowing the work I have ahead of me each day.
The biggest hurdle is choreographing two elite competitive routines and mixing the music for said routines….. but I’m doing it and the athletes LOVE what I’ve come up with 🥹 to see them genuinely so excited for their routine is the best gift ever. It’s literally coming together so beautifully.
Today I feel refreshed and in awe of ALL that all that God is doing through our gym. The joy that is felt in this new building is so special. God truly told me to stop looking back, stop considering things of the past , behold..I am doing something NEW (Isaiah 43:18) ..I believed him for it even when I felt pretty hopeless and grieved….late at night has been particularly hard. But today I can honestly look back at the last few weeks and see all the new and wonderful work that He’s doing with fresh perspective.
I had a gym-owner friend recently remind me to stay the course. He told me to keep my focus on the Lord and the kids (of Rogue) and to essentially not look back. I’ve been doing that, not perfectly by any means! However I want to share and encourage anyone who is reading this that there’s truly nothing better than walking in agreement and obedience to God’s call on your life. Even if it requires you to lose so much in the eyes of the world. Even when your enemies are actively forming weapons against you… It hasn’t prospered and it WONT prosper. Nothing can stop what the Lord has ordained.
Im once again SO GRATEFUL that the Lord put it on my heart and the hearts of some very dear friends of mine to not let Rogue be snuffed out as all of hell intended. It’s been 3 months since we picked up the pieces. Between getting our older athletes to cheer camp, moved out of our old building and into a new building, new teams formed, routines learned, uniforms ordered, new athletes and new coaches, so many people stepping up for Rogue… The journey started with a weary handful of people, focused only on taking the next step and following the Lord’s prompting. Today, however, Rogue is a community more solid, more resilient, and more deeply committed to our faith and core values than we’ve ever been. It’s pretty incredible to witness the abundance—the fruit—that is being born out of a season of turmoil. Truly Genesis 50:20.
Thank you for reading this entry; I felt so strongly on my heart that I needed to share what God is continuing to do in my life and through this work at Rogue. Until next time ♡ Coach Beck
