11th Hour Wind

This morning I was reading in Exodus and was at the point in the story in which the Egyptians are chasing after the Israelites and the Israelites are facing the Red Sea. You need some back history? Ok. Joseph. Remember him? His dad gave him the coat of many colors. His brothers became envious and sold him into slavery. He sits in prison for a LONG time but then interprets a dream that not only gets him OUT of prison- but places him as one of the top men in the palace. He then brings all his family (and cousins, aunts, uncles, great aunts...etc) to Egypt to be saved from the famine. Well. Joesph dies- and the new Pharaoh doesn't know about Joesph and how he saved the nation. So he sees all Joseph's people (which has grown exponentially at this point) and says "They are taking over! Let's make them our slaves."  So now they are oppressed, beaten, and just downright miserable. Enter Moses. He comes in and becomes the famous "Let My People Go" man.

Here are a few things. My grandparents live there as well as my aunt/uncle/cousins Ever since I was in High School- I wanted to move to South Carolina. Every time I actually THOUGHT about it and started to put feet to that plan- fear overwhelmed me. Definitely felt unsettled about it. For the past 10 years, I have revisited that same thought… “Could I move there?” Every time
