Throughout my life, I have had the unique opportunity to observe various instances of supernatural phenomena. It is my earnest intention to provide a comprehensive account of these experiences. Following the successful repairs to the roof and the securing of our residence, a group of volunteers from Carolina generously offered their assistance to our church, contributing to the complete renovation of our deteriorating home. As we undertook this meticulous restoration process, I developed a strong desire to swiftly sell the property and relocate to central Florida. However, it took three challenging years filled with frustration and distress before we collectively recognized the necessity of making this move. Remarkably, it became evident that divine providence had already arranged an ideal home that resonated with our distinct talents and abilities. This experience marked the first occasion on which I recognized the social cohesion that God seamlessly fosters in our lives. Eventually, we succeeded in attracting a buyer for our house. As we commenced our journey to central Florida, I noticed in the U-Haul mirror that the vehicle I was towing had become disconnected. After addressing this issue, we made a conscious decision to temporarily reside at my parents' home while we searched for a modest dwelling in central Florida. During this period, I engaged in profound introspection, earnestly seeking divine guidance regarding our new residence.


As I methodically endeavored to memorize sacred scripture, I cultivated a scholarly practice of engaging in meditation during my drives. This practice became particularly pronounced while traveling through central Florida. During this journey, I visited long-standing acquaintances on the eastern side of Orlando, who had recently begun attending Sprouls Church; however, I experienced a sense of dislocation in that environment. Continuing our westward journey, we arrived at a quaint town situated amidst the rare hills of Florida. This location evoked memories of my childhood, specifically a time when I had mistakenly perceived this town as mountainous while on vacation in South Carolina.


While traversing the town, we noted its picturesque setting, encircled by a series of lakes, which captivated our interest. This observation prompted us to visit a real estate office the subsequent day, as we had allocated a significant portion of our finances from the sale of our previous home. Our objective was to identify a property that would necessitate only a minimal mortgage. The real estate agent directed us to a nearby residence that embodied both the town's allure and the serenity associated with being distanced from the hectic traffic. Upon finalizing the transaction, the attorney, who spoke with a charming Southern accent, humorously remarked, “You’ll feel like you’ve reached heaven.” This comment would later prove to be remarkably prescient.
