After graduation I returned home and began the steps that have taken me to where I am today, about six years later, bowling with my parents, and uncle, and two siblings on a Wednesday morning because I’m off “work” for a week. The Lord has blessed me in being able to care for three of my youngest second cousins Monday through Wednesday. I also spend Thursdays with two of my youngest first cousins. All are under age 10 and so often I enjoy the whims and curiosities of a second childhood. Yet, it also gives me great opportunities to expand their knowledge of God and the Bible. Many times they are the ones that incite the talks of what heaven will be like or how Jonah came to be in the belly of the whale or what Daniel must’ve done while he was in the lion’s den.
While there are still days and weeks that I wish to expand my footsteps to other places God is teaching me to be content where I am (Philippians 4:11 KJV). He has asked me to expand my horizons in different ways and with some new people in my life. Isaiah 55:6-11 KJV expresses how life altering the Lord’s ways can be! So I will take a lesson from the mountains and the trees in Isaiah 55:12 KJV so that I can dance and sing as I celebrate the joy God has given to me!

Follow his leading.
You had many more words to work with; I'd suggest that you add specific anecdotes or conversations that will help the reader to better understand your decisions and to feel as if we know you better. For example, even after reading this I don't know your gender or your age. Adding more personal touches and specific events will help you to draw the readers in.
Your writing shows great promise, and I encourage you to keep at it!
I do like your message and I am confident you will succeed at whatever you do as long as you continue following God's leading.
Thanks and keep writing.
