If you could just keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I'm having to make one of the biggest decisions in my life right now and I'm not sure what to do. I have my heart telling me one thing and my gut telling me another. Either way I'll get hurt. Not a good time to be me right now :(
 
My prayers are with you.
 
praying for you, know there is light at the end of the tunnel, someday.

You're in my thoughts and prayers to get through whatever this is. Have confidence that you'll make the best decision possible. Is there anyone you can talk this over with? Have you tried making a pro's con's list of each choice?
 
You and in my thoughts and prayers as well.
 
Wow, that's rough. Prayers to you!
 
Praying for strength to get you through this hard time.

My sister has been right there beside me! I haven't made a list yet only because I know what I really should do but I'm still torn!
 
That's a tough place to be. I pray that you receive the guidance & strength that you need to make the right decision.
 
Aww, I'm sorry to hear this! I'm praying for you!
 
Praying for God's will and that He will give you the strength to make the decision you need to make. God does not give us anything we can't handle it only helps us become the person he created us to be.
 
((( HUG ))) Trusting that you will find peace in the decisions you need to make/
 
Praying for you and asking for strength and comfort through this...
 
I hope everything works out. Is there any way we can help sort it out with you?
 
Praying for you

I wish I could tell all on here and know I'd get some great advice but I'm afraid of what I want to/don't want to say publicly! I'm still struggling with the choice I have to make. I just don't know what to do.
 
thinking of you - wish you a clear mind and courage. :)
 
I have this quote on my computer at work and my bulletin board at home and it has helped me tremendously this last month.

"The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you."

Still prayer for strength for you.

I totally understand. You could always PM me or someone you are comfortable with. Good luck! You will make the right decision.

Got say that you sound like I did several months ago. All though I am totally sure what you are facing is quite different from what I had too. However, I had a Saturday to myself and I was totally in the dumper. I had e-mailed everyone in my cluster that prior Friday that I had decided to quit PC. I was so depressed and down that I was already considering several very STUPID options. One included a one way trip to Montana the other, well, let's just say there was no turning back from. I was so confused, tired and so completely discombobulated that I just could not handle it. And everyone I asked, gave me different answers. Anyway, I decided that on following Saturday morning to put the question out there to God. Then I shut up!
About half way through that Saturday, I got my answer. It is funny how the answer came via a TV program I just happened to stumble upon on Satelite, which I normally do not watch, but there it was.
Anyway, the following Monday I made ther phone calls and appointments i needed to make and since then, all is right with the world.
Put the question out there for God to hear. Then shut up and listen. You will get the guidence you need if you truely "let go and let God."
My thoughs and prayers are with you.
Oh remember something else, the answer may NOT be at all what you expect. I know I ended up doing things to make things right that I had never had any intention of doing. But I had to in order to "fix" me.
