When to wait and when to jump..

I struggle with this. I know Proverbs 3:5-6 Lean not on your own understanding and trust God in all ways; He will make your paths straight. But the timing is the hard part. When to wait on the God’s answer and when to jump?

I’m struggling with the idea of my retirement from childcare. I made the decision a year ago to get out of this business. And I stand on that decision, the problem I’m having now….is what to do now? Do I take another job or do I stay home and work on other hobbies and interest?

Over the last few months I have thoughts about volunteering more, writing more on this blog. But when I think about it more indepth- I can’t see myself being idle. I like to stay busy and work with peers….

So my prayers to Jesus are to get some idea of my path. I don’t want to go against God’s plan for me- not again anyways.

How do you make decision like this? Do you worry about time and if too much time lapse- you’ll lose the opportunity?

I’m embarrassed to say that I jump before even praying about it. Jesus please forgive me! I have already submitted the job application with an updated resume….. What to do now?

Wait.
