I am requesting prayer for me and my DH today. We are really struggling. He currently works in a very toxic environment (due to a terrible plant mgr that was hired a couple of years ago.) People have been fleeing the place in droves. My DH is the only one left in his whole department. He really wants to get out but has not had much luck finding anything local to us.
He got a job offer about 3 hrs away. We would have to relocate, possibly into the neighboring state. It would be a boost in pay plus the possibility of bonuses, but we would have to move, leave friends & family. Real estate is just crazy right now, housing is a bit more hard to find and more expensive near the new job. I am concerned that we would be stuck in a rental (rentals are very pricy and hard to find) and/or that we would experience the bidding wars I keep hearing about. But this job does pay more and DH is in his early 50's so age discrimination will probably start to be a factor soon, if not already.
If this job were local it would be a no brainer and he would take it but relocating right now is just terrible timing with the housing market being the way it is and also covid has just exploded again in our area and in my opinion, seems to have ramped up even worse that the past several waves. If this were a normal housing market and covid had not happened, I don't think there would be nearly as much angst.
We've prayed and prayed over this decision. We have also been praying for a very long time that God would open a door for my DH to leave his current job. My DH is feeling physically ill from the stress of trying to make this decision. He needs to give them an answer by tomorrow.
Neither of us feel like we are getting any direction from God on what His will is for us in this situation.
We are requesting prayer that God will guide us and make it very clear to us today which path to follow.
Thank you!
