May of 2023, my husband and I decided to officially leave our home state. The place where I was born and raised. The place where all of my close family resides. The place that holds key places & landmarks that unlock so many core memories for me. My comfort zone.
To say that this was an easy decision would be a far cry from the truth. To keep it completely real, this move was something that I fought tooth and nail from the beginning. My husband would bring the subject up and I would immediately combat it with all of the things that could go wrong. The first being “I don’t wan’t to be out of the will of God.” Eventually, he started catching on and started using the same words that I would say to him whenever he was facing a difficult decision; “There’s no mistake that we can make, that God can’t fix”. Those very same words play over and over in my mind when I’m doubting that we’re where we’re supposed to be.
Granted, my husband is not a man that likes change. Hearing these words from him gave me only a small sense of comfort knowing that deep down he was feeling the same sense of uncertainty and doubt that I was. Needless to say, after spending time praying and fasting, we made the move.
I would be lying if I told you that I am completely certain that this was the right decision. I would be lying if I said that all is peachy. I would also be lying if I didn’t say that we have both received opportunities that we more than likely wouldn’t have been presented in Miami. And although the things that I left behind were some of the most important things and people in my life, I’m yearning for more, bigger and better.
To sum it all up, I’m genuinely seeking the face of God to go deeper than I’ve ever went before, to experience an encounter with Him that will change me from the inside out. I want to experience the words in the Bible, off the pages, if you get my drift. I want to walk in a level of freedom in Christ that will push me to walk boldly and go forth in His name. Let me not leave out that my spirit is craving for holy and genuine friendships; for community and for accountability. In a world where everyone is screaming that they don’t need friends, that’s not my story. We were not meant to be alone.
I’m believing for God to do what He does best and align things as they are supposed to be. If you’re in your waiting season, keep the faith! While we’re waiting on God, let’s speak to the mountains that need to be moved. Let’s speak hope to the fears that may be creeping in. For God is not a man that He should lie. Amen? Amen.
