Leaving the Midwest for Puerto Rico | An Emotional Moving Vlog | Episode 7

Leaving the Midwest for Puerto Rico has been one of the most emotional seasons of our lives. In this vlog, I’m sharing a raw look at what it’s really like to pack up your home, sell furniture filled with memories, say goodbye to your church family, and trust God through every step of a big move.
God called our family to Puerto Rico as my husband stepped into a new role as a lead pastor, and while we are incredibly excited, obedience hasn’t been easy. This video captures the in-between moments—the tears, the overwhelm, the gratitude, and the faith it takes to let go of one season and step into another.
From packing boxes and empty rooms to emotional goodbyes and moments of worship, this is a small glimpse into our journey of following God when it’s hard. If you’re walking through change, transition, or a season of uncertainty, I hope this video reminds you that you’re not alone—and that God is faithful in every step.
