This winding, crazy cool story of how we decided to move back to the South after 11 amazing years in the North East. This is our journey of letting go, having faith, and seeing God's plan unfold in miraculous ways.
My husband Jeff and I have lived in New Jersey for 11 years now, but we're originally from the South - I'm from Texas and he's from Louisiana. During the pandemic, we stopped booking weddings for our photography business. Instead, we pivoted to health coaching, which ended up being really successful. But then God told me to start shutting the doors on that business. Actually, shutting the doors on quite a few things!
In January 2023, after getting COVID, I felt God telling me a "great unraveling" was going to happen in our lives. And things did seem to start unraveling over the next few months as I got another round of Long Covid. This year has been a great challenge on so many levels but God has been faithful. About 5 weeks ago, Jeff and I had a huge disagreement and went to separate parts of the house to help diffuse the situation. That's when God spoke to each of us about needing to move back home to Texas. (That was WILD!) Suddenly we both felt this urgency to return to Texas, after loving our life in New Jersey for the past 11 years. Within just 72 hours we were looking at houses in Texas, calling our real estate agents, and making plans. This was moving VERY fast.
So many things quickly fell into place, which I see as confirmation from God. The word behind my eyes was URGENCY, not to be confused with EMERGENCY. We had expedited availability of a lot in the sought-after neighborhood we wanted, agents who were Godsends and actually lived in the neighborhood, and everything started to fall into place for us. From the beginning, there was a sense of urgency. Later the timelines would reveal this is because of our son Trace - he needs to integrate into the school system in Texas by April so he can make friends before summer. Things were moving FAST and in our FAVOR. We were hanging onto our bootstraps and trusting God’s plan.
Jeff and I have already started packing up and selling things in our New Jersey house without having contracts yet! We were fueled by faith and trusting this is what we should be doing. We're listing our house in mid-February and hoping to move to Texas in March. God has been in full control of our hearts and timeline. We continue to follow His whispers as we keep closing doors to open new ones. Despite all the uncertainty, I have faith that this is our season to reunite with our family and start a new chapter back home in Texas.
