An Adventure like no other...: Tennessee... Here we come!

I am so excited! In a week my beloved and I are moving (along with our sweet Sadie girl!) to our new home... Tennessee!

The original move was to Fairhope, Alabama (we fell in love with that small town last summer), but my husband who is a man who is an amazing leader of his home, told me a month ago that he was not feeling a peace about us moving to Alabama, of course, I was crushed! I wanted to go to that charming little town like we originally "planned" (amazing how we think what we plan will go as planned, when many times God may have planned something quite different for us! ) and begin a family and a home!

But I immediately regretted my pouty attitude I bestowed upon him and a couple of nights later (while we were playing our usual card game of Phase 10 at our local Starbucks), I had to ask forgiveness for not fully trusting what the Lord was putting in His heart! So I asked, "Where is it that you think we should go?", Dustin then said, "I really think we should move to Tennessee.", I paused for a moment then looked at him with a smile and said, "Where Jesus leads you I will follow, let's go!"... Hehe if Abraham could obey the Lord when He told him "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.", then who are we to doubt? Abraham, i'm sure, had absolutely no idea where the Lord would take him and yet he went, the Lord was much more merciful with us by giving us a location before we "went"! ;)

We are blessed that I know 2 friends who live there and I am super excited about moving to a brand new land, and to a state that is not only conservative but has strong Christian values which this country so desperately need!!!

Today, we decided to go and enjoy our last Saturday sightseeing around our favorite spots, which was a local coffee shop (they know us there quite well! Haha! I am desperately going to miss their coffee! Sigh...) and Coronado...

While we were taking photos together (selfies as they call it! Haha!), for some reason a beautiful hope came over me with extreme joy about our new adventure!!! I turned to look at my beloved to tell him what I was feeling that moment, when I looked in my husbands eyes, I saw a future that was full of a deeper sense of joy, love, fulfillment, adventure, peace, comfort and growth, not just individually but as a married couple... more so than what we have now!!! Why? With a marriage founded on Jesus Christ, all things are possible and the Lord reminded me right there, "Elisa, here are the plans I have for you... a plan to prosper you both and not harm you... to give you both a future and a hope."! Thank you, Jesus!

Today, Dustin and I were carefree and full of excitement and enjoying each moment we had together... because in a weeks time... To the east we go, to a promised land we are ready to claim to not just take dominion of, but to dedicate it to the Lord of our Marriage... Jesus Christ!!!
