woes of being a responsible adult...

it has been no secret that matt and i are considering, in the long term, a move to the kitsap peninsula, for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which include a lower cost of living (about 80%) and higher-paying jobs. plus, with the uncleared acreage for sale, we could buy a piece of land and build our own house, which we really want to do.

but i guess it's always been comfortable as a "long term" goal. today, i feel low, mostly because the naval base is hiring, at a great rate of pay, and we're not really emotionally or physically ready to pick up and go. i know it's cheaper to live there, and we'd be making more money, and we feel called to live there - we're just not feeling called to go *right* now.

i just feel like if we don't go now, we'll lose out on the opportunity to go. the truth is that if God wants us there, He'll make the way. i'm just very uncomfortable with change right now. and i hate moving.

It's ironic that you last post talked about the loftiness of being a child and then you have such weight as an adult. Moving is a big decision at any time in your life. Good luck to you with this one.

What a tough decision! Like you said, God will work out the details if it's His will for you. :)
