Since September ive been taking an additional course to Performing Arts, AS Level Dance. I was supposed to have my exam tomorrow but throughout the year since September at various points ive ended up in tears because I think im a terrible dancer. On Sunday evening I just burst into tears, my solo choreography wasn't finished, I knew I'd get a bad grade and i just didnt feel ready. Yesterday morning i must have cried for two hours because i just wanted to leave the exam. I was about to go and tell my teacher that id decided to quit AS Dance and something inside my head just went "if you quit AS Dance I'll take dance away from you" and I know this sounds ridiculously stupid but I really couldnt work out whether it was God saying that or Satan telling me lies. I went to ring my mum and ask her but she didnt answer so by the time she got in touch with me I'd quit the exam and got changed. I asked her and she said it was Satan telling me lies but its just played in my head ever since. I really want this, I want to be in the West End or in a professional west end linked touring musical being a professional dancer, singer and actress but yesterday just really did make me feel confused. God wouldn't ever take away someones dream and threaten them would He?!

I can only help by relating a true story of a Christian singer called Keith Green.......he loved music and singing and that pretty much was all he wanted to do......when he became a Christian, he felt challenged by God to give up this dream.......I guess maybe it was to see whether or not God was first in his life or the dream.....to cut a long story short......eventually Keith felt right about singing and playing again.....God used him mightily before his death at age 29......

Abraham had always wanted a son.......and as we know he was 100 when he saw the fruition of God's promise......then when Isaac was older, God told Abraham to sacrifice his beloved promise/dream on the altar.......only to discover that God was testing to see if Abraham would obey Him no matter what.....

Maybe God is seeing whether or not you are prepared to serve Him regardless of whether or not you get to do what your heart desires........I don't know......but looking at my above examples....it certainly is possible :)

Thank you :)
I don't feel as though I made a mistake not taking the exam, infact I think it was the right thing to do. I couldnt see what the point was in getting myself all upset over an exam that wasn't even going to make much difference. If it had been a full A level then yeah, I might have just stuck it out. I definitely wont stop dancing though or performing, I just want God to make me better, not worse or take it away
