The call to move.

This story begins in my home state of Delaware. I was born and raised in Delaware. I had only lived in Maryland for 2 years of my life from the age of 4-6, which was only about 20 mins from where I grew up. So I don't know if I want to count that in. My husband & I had lived in Seaford, DE in a small 2-bedroom apartment. We knew the day would come to buy or build a house. However, our plans were to stay local. However, God had a different plan for us. I was driving one day and I felt the Holy Spirit move. I felt the Lord was about to inform me where we were going to move. Then I started to have a vision of a map, but it was away from where we originally intend to move to. So, I asked the Lord, is it further away than we thought? Perhaps into a different county? Each time I asked the Lord where, I saw the map in my vision shift towards the west. I asked the Lord, "is it to Maryland?" The map shifted again further out. Then I asked, "is it across the bridge (Bay Bridge)?" The map began to shift south in my vision. I thought to myself that it would be further away than I thought. I asked the Lord, "is it going to be further south?" Once again, the map shifted further south, more like southwest. Then suddenly I saw Tennessee. I asked the Lord, "is it Tennessee?" Then I had tears of joy. I wasn't entirely sure what I was feeling in my spirit, and I was afraid to say something to my husband because I knew he would not agree. He too wanted to stay local because it's where we grew up, it's where our family and friends were, our jobs, and it's everything we knew. I waited a while and continued to pray. But then I felt that I had to say something to him. It was to basically plant the seed and get his opinion and reaction. Yeah, the reaction and his opinion were just as I thought. I told him that I would continue to pray over it and seek confirmation. I told him, if the Lord does say we have to move, you know I want to be obedient to it. 

As time passed, I did pray over it and asked the Lord to give me confirmation. I told the Lord this is a big move. It was not just geographically, but even in life. I spoke to a few of my friends to pray over this for me. One friend, Stan said he kept hearing, "North Carolina," but didn't know why. It did resonate with me based on another vision I had a year or 2 prior to that. But I didn't think this is where God was calling us to move. At least not as of now. Stan said to just keep it in mind. It may be for this move or for something else. One day in prayer, it was like the Holy Spirit was giving me a vision on what to pray for. I saw 2 envelopes; one addressed to North Carolina and the other envelope addressed to Tennessee. I asked the Lord if He could put a seal on the envelope where we are to move. Are we to move to North Carolina or Tennessee? That sealed envelope would let me know. 

While in Delaware, I worked at the church office I was a member of, which was at Lifeway Church of God. I was the Office Administrator, and I was put in lead over the Hospitality Ministry. I worked in the office 2-3 days a week. We also had a Church Treasurer who also worked in the office. Of course, one of the duties was to check the mail. Sometimes she checked the mail, sometimes I would and even at times when I did, there would be no mail. The next day after my prayer over the envelopes, I happened to be working at the office and checked the mail. Right away, I noticed there was a piece of mail from (drum roll) ....  Cleveland, TN. I was blown away. I felt the Holy Spirit move and it brought me tears of joy. That was my confirmation. Besides this confirmation, there were other signs leading us to Tennessee. I called them breadcrumbs. This all took place last year, 2024. Stay tuned for my next story...
