And God Did The Rest

I finally made it to Indiana and this time it’s permanent. The journey here was a rough one for sure. It required a boat load of faith and trust in the Lord. Here’s what happened:

When I first met Paul, he wasn’t completely happy with his job. He was a music producer in a not so great part of Tampa. He wished for better hours and pay. I wished a better clientele for him. Out of the blue he found this crazy amazing job in Indiana. He applied, interviewed twice and got hired within a week. This is the job of his dreams and it checks off everything both of us wanted for each other. For a second I thought this was the perfect outcome.

Then the long distance definitely got to me and I questioned a lot of things. I was leaning on my own understanding and had no idea how moving to Indiana could possibly be good for me. I swear I almost had an aneurism trying to figure out when to move, if I even should. I basically put God in a box. Never do that. God is great at proving you wrong.

So I decided to move. Meanwhile, Paul is thriving in his new job. Of course he had struggles, but goodness did I feel like a wreck compared to him. 

After looking back, I truly believe God made me so uncomfortable in Lakeland that it forced me to move.

So I moved. I got the perfect apartment a week before I moved- crazy story. Basically, it’s cheap, furnished, and came with built in friends (roommates). It also has incredible amenities that make me feel right at home! After a few days to get used to the dreamiest weather and having my best friend (Paul) with me again, the blessings started punching me in the face. (Not literally, but it sure felt like it.)



I got offered the job that I really wanted. It’s with the church that Paul and I decided to call home. It’s part time which gives me the freedom to work elsewhere (like freelance) or take a vacation for half the week if I want. This way, I can visit family more often. It’s also filled with incredibly kind and genuine people that I absolutely can’t wait to work with.

While this job was in the works, we ate lunch with one of Paul’s friends from church and work. I briefly shared my past of video editing and my goal for it in the future. That same day he randomly asked me to edit some videos for him!

To recap: Paul needed a job. Paul got a job and moved to Indiana. I followed with no job in hopes that I would come up with something to pay the bills. Within a week, I now have 2 dream jobs that will provide more than enough for next month and a really great community.


It’s funny how easy it is when you’re in line with God’s plan. He really makes sure you know it, too. For a long time I prayed that God would make His path for me so obvious that it would hit me in the face- I am a blonde after all.


Looking back, God has been answering my prayer since before I even asked it. This move was another opportunity that God threw at me and all I had to do was say yes. Nothing about this trip or what led to it was what I had planned for my life. Nothing. Yet, it’s exactly what I asked for.

I was simply myself and God did the rest.
