Descisions

[Deepblue]

Hey guys, I know I don't come on here much anymore, but I am looking to different places for a little input. There's a chance that I may be getting a hook-up with a new job. I make minimum wage now ($7.25 an hour), but with this new job I may be starting out at $10 an hour. I am a little afraid of leaving my three and a half year position though, but sometimes we need to take chances. Besides, I really want to do some studying abroad when I transfer to Winthrop University in January of 2012. That brings up my next problem. I seriously want to study abroad in Spain. The total cost of the trip (not including tuition, meals, and room and board that student loans and financial aid will take care of) will cost a little over $4k. This new job will help me muster up the money before year's end, but if I go live in Spain for four months for educational purposes, I will be coming back unemployed. I really wish I could go to school and not worry about working, but I need to have some sort of income. It's a dream of mine to travel and study abroad, and chances like this may not come again.

Do It While You Are Young

And Without Children

Rejoice evermore.

Pray without ceasing.

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

And Trust God With Each Step You Take

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17

He Has No Trouble With Doors

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Have Fun~!

And Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING

If you have been there for 3 1/2 years and are only making minimal wage, I would move on without even blinking an eye. You have goals to reach and plans to make. As you said, the new job would allow this to fall into place. I agree with Joe, trust in the Lord. If He is moving you to study in Spain, do it. You can always find a job when you return.

I agree with Joe and OneLight. These kind of opportunties may not come again.

I'm hoping to go travelling next year or the year after myself - the thought of coming back to no job is scary but I don't have children or a mortgage and if I don't do it now, I may never get another chance and I know I will end up regretting it.

If this is something you really want to do and you have the chance to, I think you should go for it.

Thanks guys. I am going to go for it, scratch and save with all I have in me. Prayers needed. FresnoJoe, thanks for the scripture, and God can definitely sling doors open. I want this...very much.
