Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.
Yes, amen. Kaythnxluvyabie.

Reading Acts 12
Peter was put in prison by King Herod, and he was guarded by four squads of soldiers. On this particular night, he was bound with two chains between two soldiers, and there were guards before the door- and constant prayer was offered to God for him from the church.
Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up,...

The will of God is a funny thing. Sometimes it is an irresistible force propelling you into a specified course of action and other times it is more or less left up to your own judgement.

Dilemma;
Every time I have a great idea, someone always says something that scares me for a hot second. Then I never know if are speaking solid wisdom in telling me it’s a foolish idea, or if it’s just people being fearful and trying to push that on me. I’m not scared. I realize it’s a risk, perhaps a major one.
I am just sick of waiting and I’m ready to jump.

This just isn’t working out; but I kind of feel like if I leave I am giving up on my family.
Maybe I am just too old to live at home again. I was only supposed to make it work until I was 18. Visits are nice, full time is… another story.
If you could pray.
