My testimony is how trauma had to happen to move me where God wanted me to be. In 2019, I was living in Atlanta, working, and living with my fiancé. Then Covid happened in 2020. I took time off from work because nothing felt certain at the time. My fiancé had gotten sick and passed away very suddenly. He was young, we were in love, and he looked and seemed healthy. He was gone! I didn’t know how to feel or what to do. I wasn’t really getting information from his family about funeral arrangements and then found out he had another life. That wrecked me! I took some time off from work, about a year, and wanted to make a change. I didn’t know if it was moving out of the job or position that I had or moving out of Atlanta altogether. I prayed and said ‘wouldn’t it be nice if this position opened up in this city.’ Well, about a week later, I go onto my companies job posting section and I see that specific position in that specific city become available. I knew this was not coincidence because this type of position, especially in a different city never becomes available. I applied to a few positions, including this one and did a few interviews. When I got offered multiple positions, both to stay in Atlanta (for more money) or move to that city I prayed about, I knew I had a decision to make. I knew right then that my prayer, I unintentionally made was being answered. I do believe in God and I talk to him like a Father and Friend. I understood that a lot of trauma was happening in my life because of the death of my fiancé in that season. Sounds almost sinister, but God is very purposeful and intentional. He knows what is going to happen and allows it to happen for our good and His glory. Death is not good, BUT GOD is! God knew that was already going to happen to my fiancé and positioned me in the right relationship, right place, and right time to let that happen so that it would move me into my next position. God always uses people, places, and things to do His will. I ended up accepting the job, driving all the way from Atlanta across the state to the West Coast, trusting God to set up my life. Before I left Atlanta, I met a coworker who used to live in the city and knew some people there. He connected me with someone so that I could rent a room for a few months until I found an apartment. And that next apartment was actually with that same coworker, who is now my friend! Almost 5 years later, talking about this still feels crazy that I moved, and yet I am so happy! I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, if the relationship I’m in right now is what God wants, but I do know that God is my Shepherd and Driver of my life!
