I Don't Really Wanna Stay, I Don't Really Wanna Go

Ever found yourself in one of those situations? Now I'm not just talking about a significant other relationship, I'm talking about anything:
  • Is it time to quit my job?
  • Am I really ready to move out of my mom's house?
  • Can I really leave my job to go back to school?
  • Should I really leave my home state and move 20 hours away?
  • Do I really have the strength to remain friends with him/her?
Well before you ask yourself that question how about asking yourself these questions:

  1. Am I quitting because I am tired or because I am finished (Have I completed my purpose, goals, and/or requirements)?
  2. What would the world be like if everyone in a similar situation as me did, behaved, or reacted like me?
  3. Has God released me from this situation?
  4. Do I have peace in my spirit concerning this decision?
  5. Would God get greater glory if I stay or if I leave?
  6. Where am I most needed? Where I am or where I am going?
  7. Am I going to something greater than what I have now?
  8. Am I leaving for the right reasons?
  9. Will what I am trying to leave follow me where I am trying to go (this is an issue within yourself – are you trying to escape something)
  10. Will making this decision cause me to regret it 10 years down the road?
  11. Is this a carnal (selfish) or spiritual decision?
  12. What would Jesus do if He were in the same situation?
