Could God be up to something new? I know a little about the meaning of numbers and I knew that 8 is the number of new beginnings.
What was new? I was loving my life, riding the vapor, running here, running there, sometimes physically, but always in my mind.
But that number 8 was in everything I read, heard or saw. I mentioned it to a couple of Godly people but mostly I simply pondered it in my heart. Then I saw it happen.
Within days my employer downsized and dissolved my position. One of my long-time clients moved out of state, I lost all my email contacts and every day I saw evidence of a new beginning.
Acting logically, because I am a Certified Pilates Instructor and Certified Personal Trainer, I decided to let area fitness clubs know of my availability. I felt drawn to a club whose marquis had sometimes displayed scriptures. A three-minute visit and a dropped off resume resulted in a call from the manager to schedule an interview.
During our conversation, I told the owner and the manager about my past dance experience as a professional ballerina and instructor. They were excited and asked if I could teach barre classes. They had been praying for someone with my exact qualifications to come to them and I had been praying for a new position where I could use my gifts and talents for the Lord.
It was a dream come true, I entered my new position with the club as Director of Fitness Arts only two weeks after my former job had been eliminated. God is so good! He literally showed me that something new was coming and then He placed me where He wanted me. I find this incredibly amazing!
“Thank You, Lord!”
In my niche, I created and taught a Barre Class program, hired and trained instructors, and introduced Ballet for Fitness to the club. Many people were strengthened and healed after faithful attendance in the classes. What a perfect platform this was for sharing Jesus’ love using the gifts and talents that He gave me for this purpose.
