Even if we conquer it, we seem to walk right out of it again. I know the Lord will give your the answers that will give you peace and contentment, whatever it may be. There is much to consider, so take your time. I have become discontented with various parts of my life, and have thought about making changes, but in the course of praying and waiting, the Lord showed me that my decision would not bring the peace that I wanted. I love the saying "bloom where you are planted"...it speaks to me when I think I have to "wait" or "move" or "change" before I will be a better Christian, or a better mom, etc., but I have been learning to accept things the way they are, and trusting God to make those changes in my life. He knows your heart and He knows your needs...listen to the Spirit within, and you will know what to do, and when to do it. <br /><br />Will be praying for you!<br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15369867469773842215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761103468165795612.post-32395512131119417422010-05-16T17:05:30.161-04:002010-05-16T17:05:30.161-04:00God bless you in your decision.

However it is my husband that works (my work is mostly done in house) and ready to retire. We too are asking for God's directions. I am reminded of something my mom use to say often. "It's only stuff and you can't take it with you." <br /><br />As I pray for direction in our lives I will remember to lift you and Cliff up as well.Daughter of the KINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700578169937369907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761103468165795612.post-54422452515884745232010-05-16T15:02:24.123-04:002010-05-16T15:02:24.123-04:00Praying that your dream will be realized.

Since retiring I don't have the money I did but what the heck. We only buy a take-way meal about one a week, cooking isn't hard...cheaper and probably more nourishing. God is good. As long as you are with the one you love, what more could you ask. The important things in life are free.
