Don’t be surprised when God changes your desire and connects it to His own desires.

My background has always been in dance. I went to school for it, I studied it, I taught it and I helped others develop a better understanding of it. It was my joy, my way of communicating, my worship, my intimate connection with God. Yet, many years ago, the Lord had me put that gift on the shelf to develop others areas of my life. Gifts that I never knew I had.

It was a hard transition because dance was my voice when I was too shy to speak. It was how my heart was revealed when no one understood me. Yet that was the very thing God needed me to lay down. I was not exactly happy to put it down but I’m glad I did because in doing it the Lord was able to reveal to me that I still had value even if I never danced another day in my life. I still had something to add, share, contribute and minister without dance being my safety net.

I say all this to say that sometimes the Lord will disconnect you from the very things you idolize or deem important and give you new eyes to see a bigger picture. One that when you link up with Him, He will propel you forward into a new walk with Him. One of testing and challenges but one of great reward. Yet, not only financial…… take your eyes off of that and be able to see His grace, His peace, His provision, an increased ability to hearing His voice like never before.

Be one with Him in your walk in life, lay down what He asks you to lay down be it temporarily or long-term but hear His voice and respond in obedience ❤
