During my undergraduate years I made up my mind about my future career. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. With all of my heart I had made up my mind that all I would ever do would only revolve around and be along the path of what God has graced me to do.
Perfectly enough, right now I am listening to my Pastor teach on "Consistency". The courage and focus to remain within the thing God has called me to do. That leads me to what I am about to say.
Last season I reluctantly had to sit out of my dance company's performance season. For now I will omit all of the details but in summation, my choice to sit out was as a result of following The leading of The Lord. During this past year there were a couple of instances I became tempted. I was tempted with the thought of veering away from the path God has set me on. In what way, you may ask? Mostly like me thinking of getting random, odd jobs. What's amazing is the one "odd" job I'd held during time away from my dance company was truly a means of provision. Imagine my surprise when I was literally, randomly fired without cause (LOL). It's funny now and it was funny then. Once I received that weird phone call of a random woman saying to me "you've been let go" I literally knew by The Spirit not only did I have nothing to worry about but God had approved that very random phone call. The funniest part was that I had worked earlier that same day and there was no inkling that that'd happen 🤣.
Here's the point of this piece. During that time away from the company and being randomly fired from a job (one that had nothing to do with my calling) The Lord set up a tailor-made connection and career opportunity for me. It happened effortlessly and seamlessly. Not only did this new venture replace my old provision (that IS A WORD) it also placed me in a unique hub within my industry. Fast forward to today. As I walked into the dance building and back to change for class I noticed a magazine subscription laying on one of the benches on the first floor. When I realized which magazine it was I had a moment with God. I could not contain my smile nor could I ignore the pieces God connected for me as I stood there in awe. Such a full-circle moment! The very place that forced me out subscribes to a magazine of a corporation God has placed me in. In that moment I was also comforted by God... how sweet.
