Alright, well, look, I know I already asked this but I really need your guys' opinion here cause I'm approaching the fork in the road and I gotta turn left or right. My parents are about to move to another state into a new house and they wanna know if I'm coming with them or if I'm going my way.

See, my parents and I we're really close. We're all we got. So if I were to leave them, they would be really sad and would only have each other.

I am 25 years old and if it were up to me I would kind of want to move out because I love the idea of moving to my city of choice, getting a cool little apartment and dressing it up with furniture and having freedom and eating whatever I want and inviting whoever I want over and all that.

On the other hand I would feel guilty knowing I left my parents and I would be sad and I would miss them too.

Either way I would get a job and be financially independant but--it's just a matter of whether I live with my parents or not.

I don't know, the most important thing to me is to be a good Christian in whatever I do.

I would like to know all of you guys' opinions? What would you do? What is your opinion?

In all things, go to the Lord in prayer and seek His will in this. Otherwise, there is nothing that says you shouldnt be on your own. You will not be dishonoring your parents if you move out.

I think if you are 25, have a job and are supporting yourself, you should be on your own. I love my Daddy more than anybody, but there is no way I could live with him again, unless it was for health reasons, and we are very close. But be in prayer about it.

Hear DOK,

With the subject matter of all the questions that you have asked, I would say you need FIRSTLY to get right with GOd and grow in HIm, then let HIm lead you in all things. This is what you need most. BEcause if you don't take the time to really know GOd, and how He wants you to live in HIm and HIs Ways for you and afrim knowledge of Him and the Bible teachings; you may not like the paths you find yourself in.

Blessings and prayers,

elkie :)

How about doing both?

Move out of your parents place, but find a place nearby? In that way you get your independence and you not to far to say "hi" to your folks.

Move with your folks to the new state, city or town. Then once you're there find a place of your own nearby.

This is wisdom. Heed the words spoken here. Especially 'LE2W'. The LORD led you here. I think this might be why. Stay close to your folks. No matter the distance. Cherish each moment. Since they will never come again.

To move out does your parents no dishonor at all. In fact, I would say that striking out on your own is doing them a great honor. It shows that they have taught you well. And that you learned well, too. It means you have been good parents. But I would encourage you to stick close to them. But seek HIS will first.

Do you have many friends where you are? Friends that you want to remain close too? Then you may wish to stay close to them. Make sure that you have access to Mom and Dad. And in this day and age. The world is smaller than it once was.

And MAY G-D BE WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!! :wub::wub:

Thats what we're here for. If the memories are some you would rather forget. Than the desicion is closer to being made. Glad to help. Heck, if you and the family are moving to New York City. You got a friend here waiting for you. :wub:;):wub:

I would like to know all of you guys' opinions? What would you do? What is your opinion?

A fork in the road is a serious place in one's life for it will determine your destiny whether good or bad and should by no means be taken lightly. The Word of God tells us that there is safety in a multitude of counselors so I applaude you for asking advice. However, for one to make a good choice at a crossroad in life it takes good sound judgment. This good sound judgment in which I speak of is having a good sense in knowing right from wrong. For if one knows the right way and choses it then their path will be blessed by their good and right judgment. But if not then the opposite is true and bad judgment in choosing the wrong over the right will be disaterous not a good turn out.

The closeness in which you speak of having with your parents should have no bearing on the choice you make here for it is not about them it is all about you and your destiny where are you going in life. If you will notice that your parents are doing the same thing with their lives choosing their destiny in what they think is best for them not you.

I see from your post that you are 25 years old and are an adult and you seem to have a general sense of what you really want to do. Which from my understanding it is #1 move out #2 move to a city #3 get a job #4 get a place of your own #5 eat anything you like and #6 choose your own friends.

The numbers 5 & 6 of your plans lead me to believe you are in search of freedom in which you do not presently have within your parents place you feel controlled. You must be cautious in seeking your independence and freedom because temptations will defiantly be pulling you in this area and if not careful you could make an unwise choice based upon those temptations in which the enemy(Satan) has put into your path to possiblely deceive you in your walk with the Lord. Your choices in life should never be made on silly things like the kind of friends you want or the things you eat (not that you are doing this) I am just making a point. Those type of things should have nothing to do with you wanting to be a mature adult.

As long as you live with your parents you will always be treated like a child and it will never be different as long as you continue to live as a child (even being 25 years old) under your parents roof. To be an adult it means being mature and taking the responsibility of being an adult which means taking on the work of your own outcome in life. Which from my impression of your post you still seem immature at this point but at the same time you seem like your ready to take the plunge into adulthood which may come for you at age 25 some people mature faster than others.

When I first read your post I was reminded of a passage of scripture in the book of James 4:13-17 where it speaks of a type of person that had made their own plans and had decided that either today or tomorrow they were going into such and such a city (their city of choice) and that they would stay there for about a year and make a lot of money then they'd be rich basicly they would get gain.

But then there was a warning for nobody has a promise of tomorrow and that we should say If it be the Lord's will we will do this or that. The point I am making here is that you to have made your own plans in what you want to do with your life at this point 1-6 above move out move to a city get a job get your own place eat anything you want and choose your own friends this is the plan that you are boasting about. I am deeply concerned that you have left the Lord's will out of your plans and that these current plans of yours is solely based on selfish reasons which is your own will not the Lord's.

I would strongly urge you to reconsider your current plans and include the Lord into them then make the right choice about your own destiny. Which I believe is becoming a mature adult. For it is the Lord's will that you have your own family one day which will intail having your own household run by you and your husband to be if marriage is in your future. Don't fall prey to selfish desires and temptations you may have in your mind about what it will be like having your own way in life eating whatever and having the friends you want. Those things is not what it is all about so please pray and read God's word for He will guide and give you wisdom in this matter if you include and seek His will in this important matter.

God Bless

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
