For a week and a half, I have been visiting NC. As much as I love traveling, there is no
place like home.
My home used to be in NC, and I have so many memories and
family there. I love to visit and
definitely miss my family when I’m in AZ, but I know where I’m supposed to be,
and that makes all the difference in the world.
I thought I would be in NC forever. However, God had other plans. I was shocked when He first mentioned it to
us. It was my husband at first that felt
an urge to start looking at houses and jobs in the Phoenix area, and shortly
after we were asked by one of our pastors to join a church planting team in
AZ. What seemed like a coincidence was
really God preparing us for our future.
I was so hesitant to give up the good life we had in NC that
I asked God to make it plain and give us at least three confirmations. He exceeded my request in such a way that I
knew beyond any doubt that we were AZ bound.
Looking back those 15 years, I am confident we made the
right decision. Everything has not been
a bed of roses. There's been great
days, but we have had trials too.
One thing that has remained constant is a sense of peace that we are in
the right place.
AZ has been a place I have thoroughly enjoyed. I made up my mind prior to moving I would
love it because it was the place we were “called” to. Our lives have been enriched because we
obeyed the call.
I would love to stay in
AZ forever. However, I’m
hesitant to have that mindset again. I
know God’s plans and purposes for our lives are far better than we could ever
put together for ourselves.
We do make plans, but we submit them to God, letting Him
have the final word.
If you are struggling at all with trusting God’s guidance
for your life, don’t. He can be trusted.
You will never go wrong if you listen to His still small
voice and take one step at a time towards His plan for you.
