Complete Faith

So now we catch up with where my family and I are today. Tucson Arizona. Summer of 2021 was getting hard for us and we prayed and prayed that God would move us. I started applying to hundreds of jobs in a few different states WE wanted to go to. We were forgetting that WE asked God to move US. But WE weren't letting Him move US. As we kept on doing our lives through the summer and into the fall, it happened that my Grandfather had passed away. It was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. I had a dream one night that grandma needed help and the next morning I called her. That was a few days after he had passed. I decided that I needed to attend the funeral service and I am glad that I did. I bought a round trip plane ticket off I went. It was the first week of December and It was my first time flying by myself. And you better believe at 30 years old I was scared for my life. Upon arriving in Tucson, Arizona; I was picked up by my Uncle and headed to his house for the evening. My cousins and I had almost 16 years to make up for and we had a really nice evening. The next day we all rode down to my Grandma's house, that had not changed since I visited when I was 10 (or so it seemed). One thing had changed and that was the atmosphere that my Grandpa brought into every room he entered. I spent almost 4 days with grandma and my uncle and cousins. Saturday was the funeral and it was up to me to write the obituary and speech for the service. That was the hardest part when I was asked to read it. I choked on the second sentence, and I wrote it. The next day, Sunday, was hardest for my grandmother because he was not there. Grandpa had been a ministering pastor for 54 years. By the time Tuesday came around when I was getting ready to leave, a still small voice said; David here is where you will move to. That was going to be a hard thing to tell my wife, "Hey honey we are going to move to the desert state." When I got home I waited about a week and the first thing out of my mouth was, "Honey we are going to move to Arizona." At first she said, "No, No way. I am not moving to the middle of the desert!" Then one Sunday at Calvary Baptist Church, the Pastor preached on obedience and talked about Elijah. and mentioned a verse pertaining to, "....moving into the desert." I don't quite remember the reference, but I looked at her and she sighed. The next few messages at church preached on obedience, following God's will, and moving where God wanted us. It was the clearest sign to move that I had ever experienced.
