Opportunity and Hawaii.....

We have an opportunity to move to Hawaii for about 4 years. Yes I know, how awesome is that! We have been thinking about it for weeks now. I think we are leaning towards no, but the thought that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity keeps playing over and over in my mind.

In order to go we would have to sell the house we just bought, sell our cars or at least 2 out of the three b/c it is too expensive to have them shipped to us, we would have to sell all the furniture and things like that, or pay for it to be put in storage. Our whole life as we know it would change just for a couple of years. I think it would be fun but not sure if it is practical. Not to mention we don't seem to be getting a yes or no from the Lord on it. So we aren't sure what we should do. It is very expensive to live in Hawaii, the cost of living is very much higher than here in Virginia. To get a house over there the size I have now is pretty hard to come by without shelling out a million dollars for the home. No, we don't need a house this big for it just being temporary I am willing to work with whatever. There are so many reasons why I shouldn't go, but I really want a reason or a couple of reasons why I should go. I want the opportunity to be something we can take.

Some of the reasons why we shouldn't is b/c we just bought this house and we got blessed by being able to pay for most of it cash so we would be loosing some money over it plus we wouldn't have that opportunity to get a deal like that when we get back, but then I think what if we go and then we get a better opportunity when we get back or maybe we aren't suppose to come back. We know God has called us to Pastor a church at some point so maybe it will be over there???? Who knows, so many questions... Another reason why it seems we shouldn't is I just started a business here, although it wouldn't cost me extra to stop and start selling the stuff there so I guess that really isn't an issue except I would have to try and get to know people really fast. Also we just hired someone to come and help me with the kids a couple of times a week so then we would have to let her go in a couple of months from now.

But think of the great things that could come of this. My kids would be able to grow up experiencing something other than Virginia, how exciting I never got to do that plus we could have a baby over there and that would be an awesome experience. David would get a great career opportunity from this and he would definitely learn and grow from this, it would look great on his resume'........ AH!!!! So many pro's and con's can't decide.

If anybody has been to Hawaii and or lived there at some point please if you have any info that might be helpful I would greatly appreciate it:):)

Thanks for listening guys:):)
