You won’t go wrong anywhere in the South as long as it’s in the bible belt.
My parents moved us here from New Mexico in 1970 when I was 9, and except for 15 years in Michigan, I have lived here all my life...52 now. I like it except for the weather. But you cannot have everything.
And if you are not sure God is with you, then why not ask Him? That is what I do....I know He is with me, but when I have major life choices to make I ask Him to make them and then tell me thru His word. He always does.
I posted a thread on a man named George Muller that lived his entire life this way. You should read it and then watch the youtube video. Extraordinary and that kind of answered prayer is available to every believer in Christ. You can never go wrong when the Lord is making your choices.
God bless you,
