God's voice?

i dunno about everyone else, but sometimes for me hearing God's voice is reeeeeeeaaaly hard. Its hard for me to find the line between what I want to hear and what God is really saying for me. I know that in the end, no matter what I do, God will work it out, but that doesn't meant that I don't want to hear what He's saying and respond to it the first time.

The reason that I bring this up is that we've been trying to move for at least the past year, but we haven't been able to find the right place just yet. We found this place, it was just about everything we've wanted but there were still a few things that we were'nt entirely comfortable with...like the price. totally off subject, but santa cruz county is incredibly expensive....i think it's all the rich people. what i'm trying to figure out is what's the line of trusting God to come through with the money to pay the rent and locking yourself up in a 2yr lease for double the rent you pay now? Am I being a "good steward" of my money by saying no to this place because I'm not entirely sure we can afford it or am I closing off a place where God wants to bless us by providing in an incredible way?

There's a verse that I always lean on from Proverbs (16:1) that says that the plans of the heart belong to me, but the answer of the tounge is from the Lord. I know for me I can be kind of fickle when it comes to making a decison but I've definately learned from my past experiences when my answer was from my heart or God's and thankfully I haven't messed myself over too bad so far.

The worst show ever

So I was watching American Idol...cause my wife likes it (at least thats what I tell myself) and I saw another commercial for "The Moment of Truth". Heard of it? I'm not gonna lie...I've watched an episode or two. I can only handle the easy questions they ask though. That show is brutal. I think that FOX is out to ruin our country....I have no idea what the people who go on that show are thinking. I like reality TV as much as the next guy...probably more, but I don't like watching someone's marrige disolve right before my eyes just so that the "contestant" can win a coupla hundred G's.

Why cant we just go back to sitcoms where the worst thing that happens is Theo piercing his ear or Jessie getting hooked on sleeping pills for a week so she can pass the big test and not break up the band?
