    When I decided that I’m moving to Texas, there was the energetic shift and calm that came over me and my current apartment.
    I can’t wait until I hit the road.

    Marquita, this vid was so encouraging! I visited last year by prompting of The Holy Spirit and have been praying for a year. I'm finally making the leap this June and I have to say.. I see SO many beautiful women flocking to Dallas and specifically saying that they came by faith. So interesting what God is doing. Blessings to you and thank you for sharing your experience!!

    Thank you for this delivery on this beautiful Sunday 🙏🏽 I don’t have the best credit & I have had back to back letdowns these past 3 years. They have been the hardest of my life! A trying time. But you give me and my family hope that it’s possible, even more confirmation for us to move to TX. I have found a few properties I would like to rent and I’m praying I have the same outcome to get a new beginning ✨ God bless you for sharing your path and story!

    There's alot of people coming to Dallas from Cali, NY, and farther south, (due to cheaper real estate than other larger cities and the job market), so traffic was already bad in DFW, with the migration it'll be worse. The halfway good news is that they have been working on the freeways i35, 121, and 67, so that helps. Just remember if you're every driving around and get lost, I-20 (aka LBJ) becomes 635 when you're north of Downtown and it's mostly I-20 South of Downtown. But overall, I-20, Beltline and Loop12 /Ledbetter are all one big circle within a circle. So if you stay on either, you'll eventually circle the city. Welcome to Dallas-Fort Worth. I never liked it here personally (capricious seasons, and other stuff) but the amount of real estate you get and the overall cost of living compared to some places is decent.

    I’m in Baltimore and the city is draining me so it was god that led me to your channel so relatable…you should do a q&a about moving to another state I have a lot of questions like did you have a job when before or when you got there ? What area are nice areas? Schooling ?i know you said driving on the highway is a must but lol I get anxiety so I stay off of them so like is that a dealbreaker…hopefully not I’ve really been drawing to Dallas

    • @marquitabraids

      My main advice is to stay in prayer, always ask Jesus what should I do, what area should I move to. Where should I eat? you see where I’m going with this right? I asked God and he showed me exactly where I should go. I’m so glad I put him first because I almost ended up in the hood no lie.
