Difficult decisions

So, I'm adult huh...and well, of course that means more and more difficult decisions to make. Currently, I am making a decision on whether to take a job back in my hometown, where my husband and I are buying a house. My husband will finish his college education, graduate in May and move back then. However, I am looking at a much sooner moving date. I was offered a job that I've always wanted to explore. It is dealing with animals, a passion of mine and possibly some PR work, also an interest. This job means leaving my current position at a newspaper as a reporter. I love my current job as well. (I would do both if they weren't 109 miles away from one another.) I am so frazzled by the decision I am making, and mostly, because there are an equal amount of pros and cons to taking the job. Yes, I even made a pro and con list. However, I will save myself from running through those lists again on here. I have no idea what the right decision is. I just know one way is taking a risk and seeing where it lands me, and the other is playing it safe, which also could be a problem in the future. I can't tell the future, so I must make a decision based on what I know now and the assumptions I have for the future. I pray and hope all works out for the best, and that in the future I don't have such difficult decisions.

Pro and con list in making a decision is a great way of looking at things, but you will want to make sure you are going to be truly happy. I was once was told that I should set my own personal priorities and stick to them. Once you make your priories, decisions become easier and you will be more satisfied with each decision. For example my priorities are; God, Family, Work, then Friends. So when something comes up this helps in making the correct decision.
