Thanks. Recently (in the last month) I had a choice between leaving my job and taking a good oppotunity, and taking a good opportunity with my current company that would have required my moving for two years. It probably took me 3 or 4 days of before I truly sat down, read the bible, and asked God for his guidance. That is my problem with authority. I feel like I can do it all on my own.
All I would question is why you feel the need to measure the time it takes? I fear that you have some set template in your mind for how all this is supposed to occur in your life. It is a form of control. Are you a control freak? If so, what is it that you are afraid of?
