That gentle whisper of "it's time"—have you felt it lately? That nudge toward something new, even when everything familiar feels comfortable enough?
In this deeply moving conversation with Andrea Ward Fernandez, we explore the complex emotions and practical realities of knowing when it's time to move. Andrea shares her remarkable journey from living her entire life in Spain to suddenly relocating to America to pursue teaching at a Christian school. Her story illuminates the tension between loyalty and growth, between honoring roots and spreading wings.
What makes Andrea's experience so powerful is the unmistakable alignment she witnessed when the time was right. After years of consideration, everything fell into place with breathtaking speed—a job offer, housing arrangements, and transportation all materialized within days. "It was from nothing to everything in a couple of days," Andrea explains, "like the Lord giving it all on a silver platter."
Yet her story doesn't gloss over the challenges. Andrea candidly discusses the overwhelming feelings of being lost in a new culture, the anxiety of separation from family, and the countless daily adjustments required when transplanting your life across continents. Throughout these difficulties, Andrea discovered something profound about trust—that we only truly learn to depend on God when we find ourselves with no other options.
Whether you're contemplating a physical move or navigating any major life transition, this episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom. You'll discover that moving doesn't always mean running away—sometimes it means finally running toward what's next. You'll learn that you can love what's been and still let go, that you can honor your past while outgrowing it.
If that whisper of "it's time" has been getting louder in your life, this conversation will give you permission to explore it, not hastily, but with intention and courage. Take your first brave step today.
