How Do I Know This Is for Sure an Open Door

You answered your own question in your email. You said that you don't want to switch departments. Also, if your supervisor is trying to make provisions to keep you, see what happens with that first. If they will match the pay and hours, stay where you are. However, you can not be concerned about making others mad. You have to do what is best for your family. As long as you give them notice and leave on good terms (if you decide to), they should respect your decision. Hopefully, they will make you happy so you can stay where you are now.

I am also a woman of faith! I am a stay at home mom and reading your question I was thinking I am not able to answer this question until I reached the bottom. You say you are trying for another baby, I think this new position was given to you for the fact that you are ready to try for another. Better hrs & schedule is going to relieve your stress levels and make it easier for you to conceive. God does put trials and obstacles for us to overcome but He also rewards us as well. I say take the new position and be confident in your decision!

Hey,

Have you ever considered becoming an Independent Consultant for Arbonne. You could still stay at home with your daughter and earn a supplemental income while doing it. I began my Arbonne business just a few months ago and am having an amazing time meeting other people and building a home based business to boot.

Check out my site www.abriggs.myarbonne.com.

My number is on the site please feel free to call or email me with questions.

The compensation plan is amazing.

I really don't belileve that someone else makes our destinies for us, but it sounds like you want to switch, so go for it!

Hey S.,

Something I have learned about discerning God's will is that sometimes He does give us the choice. This may be why you can't hear a clear answer - because God is telling you that He is pleased with your heart, he knows that your motives are to give Him glory in all that you do, and you can do all things (in any department) with Christ who gives you the strength. It is kind of like Joseph, no matter what situation he was in, he always rose to the top because of his faith. Maybe that is the situation you are in.

I believe that the Lord wants the best for our lives and the lives of our families. Also, there is a verse, I can't remember where, that says as much as it has to do with you, keep peace with all men. I would go to your supervisor and thank her for the opportunities to learn under her. Just explain that you would like to further your experiences, but that you will always be grateful to her. That takes care of your part of the deal. I believe the Lord can take care of her heart towards you.

I hope all goes well, and as soon as I get done typing I will say a quick prayer for you. Blessing to you and your family. I'm sure your faith is a blessing to all those around you!

I've read about others in the same predicament. Please go to www.arbonne.com, look at success stories at the bottom of the page. Look up the name Korn, Dana and Premier, Karen. Please email me and let me know your thoughts.

Hi S.!
I'm a firm believer in God and his works and that things happen for a reason. Is this something you have been praying about? The only person you need to be worried about making mad is God. You know what you need to do but don't do anything without praying about it first!
P.

You have to do what is best for you and your family. You can't control the actions or reactions of other people, and you certainly can't depend on others to do what is best for you. I have switched departments in my job several times over the years- I was nervous each time and I think this is normal when you are starting something new. Just don't let your fears make decisions for you- have faith and listen to your instincts. Neither will let you down and will keep you on the right path.
Go for it!

S.,

I really don't know what to tell you about which decision to make for the job situation, but when I have a problem making a decision like this, I try to look at it differently, almost like looking at it backwards.....

I ask myself which decision would I regret the most or least?

For example, later down the road, would you regret going to the new job in CCU or would you regret staying in the ER more? Which decision could you possibly regret more?

Looking into the future this way usually helps me figure it out....even if it is a kinda kooky way of figuring it out!

Good Luck,
Pam

take the job. It sounds like you want to and it will be better for your family. If people are professionals, they won't be mad, and if they are so what? Are they really your friends if they are mad at you for doing what is right for you and your family. Take it
