I don't have a funny feeling in my tummy anymore... BUT

[PinkCow]

I still don't know what to do!

Okay, so I was 100% going to "throw the towel in" on this Nanny job for a while BUT something happened!

On um Tuesday I sent a prayer upstaris, not sure if I did it right, but I think it worked

Yesterday I got a message from a family saying they wanted to talk and stuff. Well the mom and i talked for um an hour yesterday.

The only problem is... it is a live in position and I was looking for live out and I said when I first started looking for a nanny job that if I found the right live in position then I would considerate it. Well I think I have found it, BUT the other problem is that its in ANOTHER city 2 hours away.

When I think about living with my Dad and getting a position where he lives, I get this funny feeling. (Maybe my funny feeling is hunger?)

When I think of this new job, I don't have the funny feeling.

I don't know what to do. Take it, or don't take it?

Anyone have a magic potion that I can buy off ya so I can skip this year?

I really like these forums. LOL

they are good to write your problems on.

And the people who answer arn't that bad either!

It sounds like you might already be getting your answer when you get that funny feeling when you are thinking about the option of moving in with Dad.

I think a lot of times we want to pray and ask if we should choose one choice or another... Its a lot harder to get a response to an open ended question in my opinion.

I would recommend making the choice and then pray about only that decision and not the alternative. Remember the answer doesn't necessarily come during or right after your prayer. I think your example of the funny feeling later on when you think about moving with your dad is a great example of that.

I agree with Chad.... think you already got your answer Pink!!! pick the one you feel best with and pray for an answer don't ask for answer on one or the other! that way the answer will come more clearly.... as far as magic potion well I WISH !!!! lol

It sounds like you get your answers like me! I don't know if you've heard about "having a stupor of thought" when praying about something. That means that what you're praying about is not the correct decision, but I have always gotten sick to my stomach when a decision is wrong, so I call it "a stupor in my stomach". Years ago when my husband's friend was begging him to come to his company, it sounded good in every way, but I told him, "Every time you mention it, I feel sick to my stomach." He ended up taking a position with them a couple years later and it has ruined us financially. There was another company I felt good about. He didn't know anyone there and I think he was just more comfortable going somewhere where there were people who already thought he was so awesome, but his first jobsite was horrible. So many things went wrong between the last guy making waves with the city inspector, a crooked tenant who verbally abused him, and it only got worse when I broke my foot and was on crutches for 4 months. He wanted to be home to help me, but he didn't want to get fired, and he had to work his butt off on that job to make sure he got everything done he could. Our kids were 6, 3, and 2. After I got off the crutches, I had a miscarriage and he still couldn't take off of work because he was still on that site and feared getting fired. I thought, "WHO HAS TO DIE FOR HIM TO GET A DAY OFF???" Around Christmas, he said, "You didn't want me to take this job, did you?" I said, "No, but I told you that a long time ago and figured I'd just let you make the decision." He has learned now that just because everything looks good on paper with a company doesn't mean it's going to work out. Once he signed up, we found out there was no gas reimbursement (and we were given the impression that there was) like there was with his last company and our health insurance was double the cost. At first I thought we were struggling because of my broken foot bills and convenience food we started buying because I was having such a hard time getting around, but I was horrified to learn that we were netting about $1000 more a month with the old company. We had saved $10,000 and now we have $1000 in savings and almost $7000 in debt with more debt to come with more medical bills.

Anyway, I definitely wouldn't rule out a live in Nanny position and though living with your dad might be nice, you never know why Heavenly Father might want you to do something you didn't plan on. I think we all receive answers from the Spirit in different ways, so the feeling in your stomach might be yours.

Good luck making your decision! Prayers for you.

No, it was the prayer that I sent up for you that did the job not yours. You're welcome
