God's Direction

** this post was originally written in 2011_ just never published - mainly because putting my dreams out there might be a little daunting. Oh well.**

God's Direction is an interesting verb. 
I have given much thought and devoted much prayer and many prayer requests to what God's direction is for me, my family, and my life.
Just when I think I know, something else comes up.
I should be an EXPERT in being content in all situations, but evidently I am missing a few classes and am repeating the course often.HAHAHAHA!!
Personally I don't always find it amusing, but today it is - I learned recently that Paul had his conversion experience 20 YEARS prior to being able to claim contentment in "all" situations.
This gives me such HOPE for myself! WoooHooo!
I have recently been in a season - and in some ways I think I still am - of God just having me learn to be still.  To be still and draw near.  Interesting that I know the EXACT date I was given the verse Matthew 6:33 - July 9, 2011.  This time of learning has been VERY good and also painful in ways. 
I am ecstatic to report that God is AMAZING.  All the time.  Never failing - always providing - patiently waiting.  Loving, Loving, Loving. 
So, as I am taking what I have learned and putting it into action - I am drawn back to something He laid on my heart months and months ago. 
To use fitness as a ministry.  Not just ZUMBA, but fitness in general.  To become further certified and pursue the dream of owning my own place for others to come.  Not just others for working out - but to lead their classes, lead their parties, lead their group.  I don't know all that it will entail, but I do know Christ will be center.  I can't even fully put into words what is in my heart, but I know when the time is right and the season (so to speak ) is right that everything will come together. I am so excited!
