North Carolina or bust!


We've had North Carolina on our hearts now for 3 years. It's been randomly consistent. And so we've decided to venture out, check it out and see if it's indeed the Lord who is directing us.
We're looking to move to Raleigh (the Capital) of North Carolina, and from there we will seek God's direction on where He wants us to live specifically.
The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all of your heart; do not lean on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."
We have God's Divine promise to lead us! That's all we need...
