I DID IT!

And I almost didn't do it. God is so great! The auditions for the Brooklyn Tabernacle dance team was yesterday. For the longest I was worried about if I should do it because of the fact that I haven't gotten any training in techniques. Even the day before I was wondering if I should do it. I am so glad I didn't leave church yesterday! I went to Transitions after a long day at work and I was strongly considering leaving and going home. So glad God spoke loudly through the messenger. The message was about not allowing fear to hold you back from where God wants to take you. It dawned on me while sitting listening to the preaching that I was genuinely afraid of rejection. Not only that but also if I would be able to have the courage to even try out for it again. Even when I woke up in the morning I had the hardest time getting out of bed, I was even more tired that normal. Finally got there and did what I could. Too me a while to warm up and silence the voices in my head but God got me over it. I even felt content at one point of being ok with whatever the outcome would be because I felt like I did what I could do, that even if I didn't get it I gave %100 and not half-heartedly. So excited and honored that I made it! I start in the fall of this year. So just to encourage you don't let the fear of the present paralyze you from your future. Stick it out and Know that God is faithful and able to do the impossible!

Lately.....

Hey guys! So sorry I haven't been posting! I've gotten back on Facebook and just went crazy!!!! Anyway, just to let you all know all is well! So many things have happened since the last time I posted! I got to do Project Dance for the first time!!!!!! It was AMAZING!!!! God really did a great thing that weekend. I feel like that weekend was a defining moment in my dance career/ life! A very pivotal point of just beginning to move it forward. I took a ballet workshop and now I'm gearing up for a summer intensive this summer with the Hip Hop Dance Conservatory!!! So excited to be apart of it. I am still trying to pay for it in full. I managed to save up half (800) so if you would like to give or know someone else who can PLEASE let me know! Here are some pictures of what I've been doing....

A Great Opportunity

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that I will be apart of a flash mob that will be taking place this Wednesday!!! I'm so excited. Not only that but Project Dance is coming up next month and We've been working on our piece in Atmosphere. I'm so excited! I will also be taking a ballet workshop next month. Please continue to keep me in your prayers as I continue to pursue the calling God has placed on my life. Just to continue in it and to not to be lackadaisical in it. Thank you all for all of your prayers!!! I'm excited for what's ahead. God is so good!

New Hobby! (No pun intended)

I'm not sure what started it. Maybe the natural hair care kick that I've been on :) But for some reason I decided to make my own hair accessories. I remember one day just really wanting to wear a simple hair bow and I didn't have one. We'll see how far this goes. Maybe one day I'll make a lot, sell them, then give the money to a charity. For now I'll just wear them. Shout out to Amanda for the glue gun and sticks!!!!

Update

Hi

Hey guys! I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. Prayerfully I will be posting some new things soon. The LORD continues to be faithful to me providing me with everything that I need. It's a bit hard at times but overall The LORD is STILL doing some great things. God did an AMAZING thing at the AMTC audition and divine appointments came to pass. I was even blessed to be a call back for acting dancing and singing but it never seemed to get passed that weekend due to my financial situation. A bit discouraging but through it all the LORD is STILL faithful!! Its crazy how God wires us. I don't fully understand it at times. When God gives you a gift, a dream, a passion, it drives you so much even to the point of frustration. Even when you're not fully operating in it it's in the back of your mind. One of my favorite speakers, Erwin McManus said something along the lines that some dreams will haunt you until you do them. I see it as a blessing. It helps me know I'm still alive. He's alive in me. And these desires  won't be satisfied until He does them. Even as I go through this journey I want to encourage any of you that may be reading this. If you have a passion, a dream, anything of the sort; Don't give up on it until it is done. Way easier said than done but we as believers have to do it. There are way too many dead people walking around out there :) And when I say believers I mean in CHRIST. There is something so encouraging, so exhilarating about seeing a child of God living out there gifting in front of others. It somehow shoots life into my spirit whenever I witness that. And what better people to give that Life to a dying world of broken people. We have The Life Giver inside of us. It will make them curious to know how we do whatever we do. Souls will be written in the Lambs Book of Life.
Before I sign off one thing I felt the Holy Spirit has continued to speak to me is the importance of knowing His omnipresence. His loyalty to His children. The fact that He is there with you. If it was a good day or a horrible one. Lots of money or no money at all. Many friends or just one. Famous or homeless. Loved or hated. He is there with indescribable love just for you.
 There is so much depth in that simple truth I encourage you to seek that out. Anywho, feel free to e-mail me wendy_hobbie@hotmail.com would love to hear from ya, and God willing there will be another video soon!

The Other Side...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I've posted anything. Figured I should drop a quick update. Since my last post I have left Metro Ministries in hopes to work more with Project Dance. The School of Urban Ministry hasn't started but I have been attending their dance company's practices every Wednesday night which have been amazing! So before I left Metro I was constantly under attack from the enemy. I struggled with anxiety and condemnation so much, things got a little hard towards the end and I'm sure it was all part of the enemy's plan. Before I left Metro I wrote this in my journal " The past few weeks I've been struggling with anxiety and depression. Fighting thoughts of what if I fail? God isn't going to use me after I leave here. Thoughts of being a quitter fills my mind. Then I think ' Wasn't it God who told me to take this step i the first place?' I even remembered one day being in tears asking God if He was really going to be with me and if He could just assure me if everything was going to be alright.

 I just want to say this; I feel so INCREDIBLY BLESSED to have made it to the other end of the spectrum! I'm so glad God allowed me to take that leap of faith. Since I have left God has showed up in AMAZING ways! He has blessed my faith in Him! I've had some close calls but my Father in heaven has shown Himself EXTREMELY FAITHFUL! I am flabbergasted at how faithful He is in provided everything I needed from places I would have never expected. It's like I'm meeting Him all over again. My First Love. I pray that it continues and that this Love will continue to grow stronger and stronger. Friends not only am I blessed but I am highly favored :) because He is good :)
AMTC will be in New Jersey next week and I am going to go and audition. Prayerfully if it's the LORD's will everything will work out well. I will also be starting work August 3rd. Thank you guys for all of your prayers and support!
