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.

Scotty, I think you need to trust yourself in hearing God. It's okay to be prudent in your decisions. If you don't feel right about it, listen to that. If it stays on your heart, possibly pursue it. If it is supposed to happen, the place will stay open. God is good like that.
Is what you have now just too small? Is the place you are looking at what you are looking for? God does want to bless even the little things that we desire.
Scotty, where are ya at? I'm anxious to read about what's happening.
Oh Captain, my captain.
