Folks, please pray for us:
we are trying to do God's will and we are trying to do the right thing.
Here are the possibilities:
- We're still waiting to hear on Rick's PhD proposal that would send us to Austria for about three years
- We have the possibility of helping to grow a parochial school (where we would be able to move two blocks away from a Parish with perpetual adoration and a really good pastor)
- Stay where we are and continue to try to "bloom where we're planted"
- We could look further afield -- Colorado or Wyoming come to mind
Please add us to your prayer lists that we may know the will of God and discern correctly.
THANKS!

Elizabeth -- yes the parochial school is in SC and dh would teach and help grow it. This is one of the reasons we originally came to Sc was for dh to help build a Catholic middle school (where he still is teahcing) but the school has shifted to not being what we orginally "signed up" for.
Blessings to one and all and agian, thanks for any prayers you can give.

Prayers for you and your dh...I hope you find peace in your decision soon.
I'm in a similar situation as we may seriously consider a move to the Tampa Bay area. There are so many things to consider.

Leonie -- thanks for the prayers. I love change (thrive on it actually) but I also worry what is God's will. I've started a novena to St. Paul -- God had to knock him off a horse and strike him blind to show him what He wanted! I'm hoping St. Paul will intercede and God won't be so harsh on us  , but will show us the way!
Thanks folks for the prayers....keep 'em coming!

Hey y'all -- if you get a minute today and over the next few days, would you please storm Heaven. A few things are coming to a head today and we'd really like ot know God's will for us over the next few years.
THANKS!

Well, I have to ask for a few more prayers ladies --
Last week we found out that two of the possibilites are definite -- Austria and helping grow the parochial school. Now we have to discern WHICH ONE -- I'm for the parochial and dh is pushing Austria. But we'd really like to do the right thing and what God wants!
Please pray this week that we figure all this out -- discernment is so hard! Also, if you have an extra minute my godson is discerning which college he should go to next Fall -- pray that he discerns and makes the right God-directed choice.
Blessings and thanks for all your prayers folks -- we'll elt you know as soon as WE know!
