What's Up With The Wilson Family?

Most know by now but just in case you haven't heard - Stan, Cammie & Zach are moving. That's right! We're moving. Where? You may ask. Well, just look at the name of our blog site. We've got Carolina on our minds. I know we said we'd never but you know what they say about that. (Never, Never say Never!)

Here's the scoop. It's a God thing and it's a good thing! Simply put - God spoke - we listened and now we're being obedient. Nothing more and nothing less. We have an irresitable urge and calling by the Holy Spirit to go back home.

It all began two years ago. A summary of the process would be to say that two years ago, while in NC, God and I began to talk about our future. He clued me in that there would be conclusion to our season of ministry at Sonrise and it would be a good thing. I didn't sense that it would be anytime soon. In fact, I felt that God said it would at least a couple of years away.

With that in mind I, much like Mary (the mother of Jesus) pondered these things in my heart and held on to them privately for two years. Early this summer I knew it was time to share with Cammie what I was sensing. One evening after dinner, with a bit of fear and trembling, I began to share with Cammie. It's so nice how God works. He had already begun to share it with her about six months earlier.

From that point on it all began to move rather fast. We committed to conversation with God and with one another. God spoke plainly. The word He spoke was a word of release. We understood that He had called us to Sonrise for a specific purpose and that purpose had been fulfilled. The greatest part was when He spoke and said, "Well done!"

So - we had a understanding that we had been called out. That was easy. Now - how about this. We didn't know exactly what He was calling us to. Well - we did have a sense, I suppose. We knew He was calling us back home and we found ourselves so excited about this call.

I'll skip a few parts and say that September 30th was our last Sunday at Sonrise. September was a great month with a lot of goodbyes. On our final weekend the church gave us a sendoff that was truly honoring to our family.

On October 1st Cammie and I boarded a plane and headed for NC. We took about 6 days to scout out the land. We went desiring greater confirmation, clarification and direction. God was truly faithful. We will keep you posted as we continue to move forward.
