I had heard of people “stepping out in faith” or being encouraged to and never understood what it really meant until we packed up everything we owned and moved from Houston, Texas to Deming, New Mexico. We left Houston without even knowing where we were going to live, but God provided for us like I had never seen during that time four years ago.
We left Deming a year ago for my husband’s first appointment as pastor at the Methodist church in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It’s been a good year. A year of transition, a year of new things and new faces and friendships and a year of listening to God.
Sometimes I wonder if we made the right move. Did we move too early? Are we where we are supposed to be in the grand scheme of it all according to God?
We went to Deming Saturday and I attended a ladies event. It was so good to see my old friends! But I knew I was not “home” anymore. Not in a bad way, but I knew that I was there for a visit. That our time there had passed. It was a tug on my heart telling me that we indeed were where we needed to be.
Stepping out in faith is scary, but when you do it….when you truly do what God is leading you to do and go where He wants you to go, it’s absolutely amazing.
