4Real Forums: Discernment about new job

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My dh has now officially been offered a new position (as I hinted about in another thread).

It comes with a small raise, but potential to quickly move up to a higher management position in his company. His boss's boss apparently *really* likes him.

There are downsides, as with anything - it's a job that many people have held over the years, and there are also some high stress projects coming up. It's in a field he doesn't know as much about, and honestly never *really* wanted to get into (but it's his temporary path to better things, he's been "told"). More travel, more stress, more volatile field, etc...

He is not sure what to do, and I know he would really appreciate prayers that he discerns God's will for this decision well. He's supposed to give them his decision tomorrow!

Thanks!

That's my dh ---->

Actually he looks more like Matt Lauer (with glasses). Just trying to help you picture him for your prayers.

Definitely praying to St. Joseph. These job-related decisions are fraught with anxiety.

I'm praying, Amy, with lots of empathy...employment "forks in the road" are exciting and challenging.

Love,
