Thanks. I already validated my domain by adding the TXT record to the DNS host in my current hosting (hostdime). Would I need to do this again?
Since I bought my domain from godaddy, can godaddy act as DNS provider? OR better yet, can Microsoft act as DNS provider since I'll be using Office 365?

Hi Vaughn,
If you have your domain from godaddy, they can act as DNS provider if you have services with them.
Microsoft has the DNS Service in Azure.

Like people already stated, GoDaddy can host your DNS as well. You might want to look at your original DNS settings and copy them to GoDaddy. You might use your DNS for more than just email. If not, Office 365 provides integration with GoDaddy as well.
