What do I know?

The economy is scary right now, there are so many uncertainties, doubt, fears, etc. I have noticed that the real estate market isn't what it used to be a year and a half ago when I was asked to work with my dad and my uncle. Because of this, I started looking for another job, hoping I could find something that would keep me busy and that I didn't feel guilty being paid what I am with what little work and little hours I actually work.

In my job search I accidentally applied for a job in Taylorsville which is about an hour away from where we live right now. If I had seen where it was located I never would have looked at it twice. Long story short, two interviews later they offered me the job. It was last Friday and I asked them if I could take the weekend to think about it. Over the weekend I decided that I was going to accept, but then for some reason on Sunday night, I was thinking "what am I doing?!". Why am I giving up a job that pays great, has amazing flexibility and is way closer to home? So Monday morning I called the HR guy back and left him a voice mail saying thank you for the offer but I don't feel 100% right about it.

Thank heaven's for my mother, I called her and told her and she reacted differently than I thought she would. She actually told me she was disappointed which took me by huge surprise! When we got off the phone she said a prayer for me that I would either feel at peace with my decision or I would have a strong feeling and have the courage to act on it, and that is exactly what happened. I felt like I was going to throw up for the next hour and I started searching for another job and just felt hopeless. So somehow I got up the courage to call the HR guy back and luckily leave another message. I told him that I thought it was just nerves and that I really did want the position. How embarrassing! I felt like a complete idiot.

I waited all day for a phone call and it never came. I thought for sure he had already given the job to someone else, but then this morning he called and spent a lot of time with me going over all of the benefits and the great things about the job. I accepted and will be starting on the 16th.

I am so grateful to have a mother that is in tune enough to pray for me and I am so grateful for that sick to my stomach feeling I received from the Holy Ghost. I guess his still small whisper wasn't enough to get through my thick skull this time ;).

This job decision may not make sense now, (Bryce works in Brigham City, or town-home hasn't sold yet and the market is aweful) but I know for sure that it is right. I know Heavenly Father is looking out for us and guiding us in the right direction. Change is in the air, I can feel it.

I loved listening to conference this weekend. I felt hope and optimism. Things may not always make sense to me but what do I know? :)
