Answer 1

prov. 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understandings. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.

The Lord speaks to us through prayer, community, and the Word. Besides prayer, consult God through your family in the church and the numerous examples from the Bible.

From what you've disclosed, you don't seem to be faced with a right or wrong decision; rather it seems to be one of wisdom- a good decision or better decision. Evaluate the choices you have, consult with your brothers and sisters, and make the best one possible, because if your heart is in God, he will always make straight the road which we made crooked.

Answer 2

God always wants what is best for us. So, which of the two choices is best for you?

We are formed by our choices. God will take care of us no matter what. Sometimes we can be presented with several choices, none of which are bad. Each deciscion has its merits. Some decisions, of course, may be better than others, but in your case, your decision making comes from trying to choose the optimal situation. God will bless either decision because you are trying to make a good choice and you are trusting in Him.

To move would be taking a big risk, but you obviously see some advantage in moving, or you wouldn't be thinking about it. Staying put is more secure for you at the moment. You have to weigh out the pros and cons yourself. (Keep praying of course) Which can you accomplish and which will be better in the short term and/or long term?

Answer 3

Praying is all you can do.
But, your husband should send out resumes and go to your hometown and find a job before you move there. You can go with him and visit but, your pregnant now and you should concentrate on having the baby. Stress is a true 'killer' on marriages, and pregnant women! I know, I have been there and done all of what your living through.
Relax for now, and let your husband do the foot work to get everything set up. Or wait until the baby comes, and then move.
I would never again move while pregnant again! It is so uncomfortable!
Enjoy being pregnant, and have a healthy and happy baby!

Answer 4

Have you ever thought that maybe, in certain things in life, there is no one "right" thing that God wants you to do-- that he has presented you with options simply because they're there and he's not a dictator? That he'll be happy for you no matter where you choose to live?

He's given you the opportunity to make some choices. Do your research, explore your options, have a discussion, and make a decision. I know how scary it can be uprooting and moving, I've done it, but even if you fall on tough times as long as you work hard you get past them. Sometimes it is smarter to stay put for a while and work and prepare better.

Either way, you'll get through it.

Answer 5

Its been my experrience that even when you dont think God is guiding you and helping you through each day, he is...Just because you are still unsure doesnt mean he is not holding your hand and leading you towards the best answer...As long as God is in your heart and you have the best interest of your family (esp. your child) in mind you will make the right decision...I know any sort of change is scary, but if you hold onto the faith that you have shown in your actions and prayers thus far you never have reason to fear...
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear" (Psalm 46:1).
Best of luck and God bless!

Answer 6

When we were faced with the same decision, my pastor told me that the will of God is not so much about where you are, but who you are when you get there. Sound counsel. My advice is to gather all of the facts, the pros and cons, weigh your options, and make the wisest decision possible. Don't cheat when doing your research. Even if you make a mistake in your choice, do you think God will condemn you for it, and not provide your every need?

Don't want to influence you by telling you what we decided.

Answer 7

God will talk to you when u least expect it. First of all, pray that God speaks louder to you. Tell him to let you hear him and know what his will holds for you and your husband. Tell him how much he means to you. Dont just talk to him when you need something talk to him when you just want to talk. He likes to hear whats going on with you not just want you want.

If you have been having dreams about things then go with it. Sometimes God puts messages in our dreams. If your consiouse is telling you to do it then it might just be God whispering in your eat.

Listen where you dont expect it. God is great he will come to you.

Answer 8

Well first of all you need to have your heart right with God. If your heart is right then you would not need to ask this question. I do not mean to sound rude or mean.But think about it. When the heart is right with God - the Holy Spirit leads the way- and you would know the answer.
And too God will answer you in his own time.Maybe it's not time for you move yet.When it is time ( if ever) the doors will open for you to go.

Answer 9

I would suggest you pray and meditate frequently. Many times you will find the answer in this manner.

Or you could simply trust your instincts. It usually works for me when my Goddess and God wants me to find my own answers.
