this is the hardest part. if he was here, we'd be laying down right now. instead, i'm here in our room bored. he's over there in a hotel room bored. the last two days have been busy for me (which in a way was good). i went and chaperoned a football game with my son on fri. sat, we buried our pet and then spent the evening over at my mother's. today, i'm just chilling out really down and out. now he's telling me that he has a chance in being promoted to a lieutenant position at the unit he's at now. he wants my opinion on it. how can i have an opinion? i don't know what's available out there. this is my son's last year in high school. i really don't want to move to another location. i told him i needed to pray about it. if it's meant to be, then it'll happen. but i'm not wanting to move to another location. he's just not thinking about the rest of us. my son doesn't want to move out. my daughter doesn't make enough money to live on her own and she doesn't want to move. i know that he can't pass this opportunity up but the timing is off. i just have to put it in God's hands.

i don't really know your exact situation as I haven't followed on your posts. But seeking God first in any decision is the best before moving any step, I know God would never put you in a place where you won't be happy. For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11 NIVUK). I hope everything will be ok for you and your family.

thank you. i think God talked to my husband. he decided not to turn in the application for the promotion. i hate that he's passing up an opportunity but when it comes down to it, the timing is just not right. i'm glad that he came to that conclusion on his own. i did remind him that this wasn't the only opportunity. he's only been there 6 months. his last good job, he was there for 5 yrs.
