The job would allow me to do what I do while being much more open about who I am, but the money is significantly less than I currently make and I got 3 in college. I need a major NUDGE from the almighty if this is what he wants me to do.
U-Dog,

The beauty of our holding this in prayer for you is that we don't have to go through the agonizing process of discerning and deciding. It's almost like a cop-out, but I'm just as glad I don't have to struggle with you. Anyways, I'll offer this in my daily prayer, knowing that God already supports you in whatever decision you make.

Zerbie is right. Submit the whole matter to the process. Poll the family, especially your spouse. Read up on the job. Search your own heart. Then let go for awhile. At least that's how I have to do it when I get stressed by a major decision that's not clear. You will know what to do at the right time. Then follow your gut. Think of us as watching your back for you.
