When we are in the process of decision making it can be hard to let our feelings guide us...to feel our way to what is ultimately the right choice. <br /><br />I'm glad you were able to come to a peaceful and happy decision. Money will come when we are at peace and joyful. That's part of trusting God too. <br /><br />I know many of us have been in this situation before. I just took a 12K cut in pay to go to my dream house and live where life is a bit simpler.
