Yep still have a job and they will give a relocation package of some kind...just got a lot family here which makes it tough...i told the wife she would be closer to the beach... LOL

Mostly we just want to make sure its God's will for our family. if it isn't then i don't want it. praying for a sign.

its hard giving up what you worked so hard for especialy now a days, we'll pray that it works out for you all. I just hope if you move you get back to the level of preparedness you are at now. its always so hard after moving, 2yrs and we're still trying....

Maybe this is a sign of the the Lord's will by giving you this opportunity to move to a better place.

Either way, hope and pray for the best for you and your family.

I wish it was just that easy...don't get me wrong I think that moving out of IL would be better...we just want to make sure that is His will for our family...I can justify moving all day long and I can justify staying all day long.

Whatever His will is for our family we want to be there. We are praying for wisdom to know what sign to pray for on His will for our family...not easy.

I appreciate all the prayers!!

asking that you be shown clearly. but isn't it great that He gives us choices.
asking that you will be able to see clearly all the ramifications of each choice.

rr - it is great that He gives us choices...He doesn't want robots, He wants a relationship, this has definitely increased my communication to him. A shame that I had to be brought to this so that I would talk to Him more. I just want a big neon flashing sign right next to the choice He wants me to take. Leaning not on my own understanding is tough to do.

Thank you for all the prayers and support. Once I came to the decision not to relocate I was at peace. 12 days after my original post I applied for a position so I wouldn't have to relocate my family away from our extended family. On the morning of my Grandpa's visitation, this past monday (see my other thread in this section), I got a start date from the other company.

This does not mean that I prefer Illinois over Texas. Besides the new job came with a pay raise, sign on bonus. and 5 more days of vacation time starting off. We just refinanced the house dropping 2% in interest.

In the midst of the sorrow of losing my Grandfather (God's mercy) God gave me another job. God is good all the time.

"God is good."
amen.
congratulations.
staying near the family had to have huge benefits.

[Lowdown3]

Amen and amen!

RR - "all the time God is Good" :)

The whole process took almost 3 months to the day. The waiting about broke my patience bank...lol

We always have choices to make. I am getting the distinct impression that God is wanting us to leave. My new company is expanding into 3 new locations GA, TX, and AZ. I have relatives that are retiring in the next year and they are planning to relocate to FL.

I find it interesting that 2 employers in a row are putting jobs in other states and that I could move with them. This situation is a little different, I would actually have to apply for the position and be offered the job.

After seeing the previous relocation package the new company offers a better overall package. As I have been praying and meditating over these locations I seem to have more peace over one location than the others. I pray that God's will be done and that He leads and directs our steps.

We have decided that I will apply for the job in Georgia.

If that's where your meant to be, he'll put you there. ;)

"Have you ever been to Georgia? Beautiful State Georgia. Very Green." :cool:
