God Guides My Steps

    It's been a while since I've posted anything. My life hasn't been the same, but in a great way! God has been guiding my steps. He's been taking me to do what I've always loved to do. Dance!

    I quit my job because I've always told my friends that it doesn't matter how much you get paid but what really matters is... That you enjoy what you do. I wasn't enjoying it. I wasn't enjoying my job and I noticed that one of my motivations was to just get paid. I was doing exactly the opposite of what I would tell my friends. So, I quit!

    When I quit I felt a relief, like I can do anything I want to do. The day I decided to quit my job something came to my mind. It was going to be my next job. Dance class! It just came to me. Of course I thought about it a couple of times before but I always felt like I wasn't ready. But now it was different, like something inside of me changed. I felt ready to take that leap! I knew God would be with me wherever I go.

"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, 
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. 
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."
(Isaiah 41:10)

    The same day I quit my job, a pastor came to me asking me if I could choreograph for kids at her church. She had no idea I was going to give dance class or that I quit my job. It was surprising how God was putting all the pieces together! That was my confirmation! The confirmation that I had made the right choice in quitting my job and starting to teach.

    It's amazing to know that God is guiding our steps. We don't have to beg Him to tell us what we should do. We just have to talk to Him, relate to Him, have a relationship with Him. Remember, Jesus is the way! So we are never out of the path. Just have a deep relationship with God and His desires will be your desires because together with God we are One!

"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. 
He delights in every detail of their lives."
(Psalm 37:23)

"But the person who is joined to the 
Lord is one spirit with him."
(1 Corinthians 6:17)
