The cat is officially out of the bag. I'm moving to Tallahassee. I wanted to do my best to bring everyone up to speed. I will admit to being afraid to tell a couple of you I was leaving. This is part of the reason for the public forum. Well, here we go.
The story begins 3 years ago. My favorite cousin blessed me with tickets to an FSU game. I went with one of my best friends. I had the privilege to visit one of our sister churches (Greater Blessings Tabernacle of Praise) while I was there. I felt an instant connection. Over the past 3 years I have visited often, but recently I started to feel different.
A few months ago, I almost joined the Greater Blessings. I had spent the night before talking to friends about God, prayer, and purpose. I was uncertain about how they were receiving the words, but when we went to church the next morning the word was confirmed through the pastor. I was so full of God's love and presence. I felt like I was supposed to be there so when they opened the doors of the church I almost stood up. I stopped and laughed to myself because I am a member of a church. I am a member of the church that is where Greater Blessing sprung forth from. I brushed it aside.
In the months that followed, I continuously felt like I was supposed to go there. I didn't make any movements because I never wanted to live in Tallahassee, I planned to go back to Atlanta with my uncle, and I already had a church that I loved. None of it made sense to me so I just left it alone. The thoughts didn't leave me though.
Last month while visiting Greater Blessings I received a word from the man of God. I was told several things. One of the things that sticks out is about an occupational change. He told me that I was holding up someone else's departure and that when I went to get the job it would be given to me. He also said that God was leading me to the place that I should go. I knew in my heart the word concerned Tallahassee, but I still just didn't want to go.
On Monday, I applied to Leon county schools in Tallahassee. On Tuesday, I was called for an interview. On Wednesday, I was hired on the spot. This is a testament to obedience. There is so much more that can be said about what happened yesterday. My dress broke just before the interview. I had to go to the interview in jeans and flip flops. I was so unsure about myself and about how things were going, etc., etc. The point I'm trying to make with all of this is that when God wants you to do something, do it. Don't hesitate. Don't rationalize it in your mind. Just obey Him and watch while he shows out.
