Hi
i only joined the other day, but i am going through quite a tough time at the moment.
basically, i have been given the chance to progress my career within my company however the progression would take me to bristol (i live in london) which means i would be moving and leaving the church that i have spent 5 years at, i am heavily involved in the church and i am stepping down from my responsibilities so that i can concentrate on my songwriting. The problem comes with this, i had a meeting with the leadership at my church and they basically pressured me into not taking the job and staying within the church. I just feel that God is pulling me to Bristol as i have heard news of a new youth movement being setup and i feel that would be something i would be interested in getting involved in. That is one side of the story.
The other is that i broke up with a long term girlfriend about 5 months ago and have since got involved in another lovely girl who is a member on here (dont worry we didnt meet through here) and i am soo happy and in love, however the people who i had th emeeting with do not believe that i am in love and they think that i am just on a rebound. When i broke up with my ex, i went through about a week of turmoil and i was heartbroken, but everyday i prayed that God would just ease my pain and make the healing process quicker, now i believe that He did that and so i was single not looking for anyone, then i met this girl and it was like love at first sight. Now the leadership in my church are telling me that its just the devil tempting me away from the church that i have been going to, however i just feel that i am not growing anymore within that church and a new experience would be great for me, not to mention that the job would include a promotion and a pay rise which can only be good for my future.
I really love this girl, i believe that Bristol would be a great place for me to work. but ijust want some advice, i know that i am to seek wise counsel for advice, but should that be from people who arent going to be directly effected by the decision that i make.
Just some scripture and some advice would be awesome.
If there are any questions that you need to know then please ask.
Thanks in advance.
