    Thinking about moving to another state? I sat on this same desire for years... until God said move. In this video I share my detailed tips for relocating to another city, adjusting comfortably, and growing faith to overcome your fear- because let’s face it, moving alone can be scary! In this video I share why you shouldn’t let your fear keep you complacent! Enjoy 😉

    Ohhhh sis this was so timely. I’ve been praying about relocating since March. And it’ll be my first time leaving and moving to another state. I loved this and appreciate you. Like yourself, I’m single with no kids. It’s just me and Jesus. I was feeling guilty and doubting myself about this decision, because I didnt want to leave friends and family. But now, I’m staying focused on spiritually preparing and financially. Much love girl this was needed.

      Crab in a barrel mentality. Your aunt saw that you moving is something that she would be too scared to do so therefore she’s trying to hold you back based off of her insecurities. It’s never going to be a “right time” to move. Life will keep happening regardless.

    I moved away in my early 20s after college and ended up living with a friend and his brother so I wasn't totally alone and didn't know anyone but I still had to step out of my comfort zone to meet new people. I will say try to get out and join some sort of community asap(or you'll quickly begin to regret your decision) whether that be a church or exercise group or anything of that nature, putting yourself out there even if you're reserved you'll be surprised how quickly you'll build up a friend base.
    You can't really put a price on having your family and your life long friends close to you but that all depends on your situation and your life goals. Sometimes just moving away for a couple years can help you really appreciate where you lived and maybe you'll return (I eventually ended up coming back). When you move you're not locked into staying there for life no shame in moving back to where you grew up.

    Thank you SO much for this video. It’s amazing to see a black woman who is strong in her faith talk about similar issues I’m experiencing. I just moved to Baltimore, MD. I’m incredibly frazzled and having a rough time adjusting. God definitely put this move on my heart. I also experienced issues with my job and would often cry at work before my move. Continuing my next degree is something I am positive that God planned for me. Thank you for the reminder that God is amazing and always with me.

    Great content. It definitely takes true faith in God. Especially for those who don’t have money saved, no friends or family, no job or housing lined up. You just trust and believe that God has it all figured out and he is your parachute when you jump. In your case, it would be easier for you to move or relocate simply because you are a travel nurse. You know where your stream of income will come from, you can pretty much pack up and go anywhere and get a job quick and get paid well. You have backup. Not saying you don’t have faith, I’m just saying it’ll be easier for you because we are human. Its only natural to think of our livelihood. For the class of people who don’t have credentials- no money, no job, no housing-lined up, God is the backup-it takes crazy faith, trust and belief in God that he has it figured out. Especially if he’s the one leading you to do so.

I want to live in different places through out my life i don't want to stay stuck in one place I'm just nervous to leave mostly becuase I have never lived on my own before. I feel like the friends I do have out there will become this amazing support system that will help me grow a lot which is amazing! I also want to go to school there as well.

    This video is amazing!! 💖 I’m turned 19 this year and I’m so ready to leave from Detroit. There’s nothing here for me. I want to experience new things and meet new people. So I planned once I hit 22, I should be already to leave, and have enough knowledge about where I’m moving to, the types of jobs they have out there, more than enough money that I’ve saved along the way, and enough time to spend with my family before I leave. I think 22 is a good time frame for me to think, research, and ask and just get to know more about where I’m plan on heading off to. I just think my age is holding me back from actually planning everything because I just don’t want to make the wrong mistake and be all on my own once I leave.

    This is amazing. I got to the point in your video where you mentioned Genesis 12:1. I have had the exact verse shown to me many times by the Most High God. He is making a way for me and it is working out perfectly. He helped me get my passport and now I'm on to the next step. I'm scared of flying on airplanes and I am trying to leave the country, so I just have to push through and do it when the time comes. But just like you said, it is no coincidence that I just watched your video and you mentioned the same verse from Scripture. HalleluYah. Thank you so much, Yahuah (The Father) bless you. :)

    This video showed in my recommendations a few times already and I finally decided to watch it. I graduate college soon and I truly feel like God is calling me to move up North. My very first job offer was for the exact city he's been showing me, in the middle of a pandemic. I've been praying on it heavily, but the fear is still there. My parents want me to come home after college to save ..... but this video was loud and clear for me. Which is partially comforting, yet made me slightly more afraid. But as you stated, i can do it scared....

    Thank you so much for this video. I honestly feel God meant for me to see it and is speaking through you. I moved to America three years ago from South Africa and it was extremely difficult to leave my family behind as well. We have had five deaths in the family since then and it has been heartbreaking to not be able to go to the funerals or knowing I hadn't seen them in a long time before they had passed away. However, I still stand with my choice to leave, because like you said, me being there wouldn't have changed anything other than holding my own life up. And God definitely shows you when it's time to leave. I am now going through a big life change again and am looking to move to another state, however, I am fearful because I will be moving completely alone this time. This video gave me some good recommendations and hope.
