So as many of you probably know, I'll be moving up to Massachussets to be with my boyfriend. The original plan was to build up some money over the next year and then start looking for jobs and be up there for January of 2017. However, today I got an e-mail with job listings for up there, and one of the jobs is exactly what I do now! I meet all the qualifications, the hours are great, and overall it seems like it would be a perfect match for me.

I feel as if I don't apply for this job, I'm going to lose out on a great opportunity. Who knows if something like this will be available in a year from now? On the other hand, if I do apply and get the job, I'll be moving up there a year sooner than planned. It's just crazy cause it's literally the same job...I currently work for my local Board of Elections and the job up there if for an Elections Coordinator with the same responsibilities and duties I have now.

On top of everything, my family wasn't really thrilled about me telling them I was moving up there in a year. I'm worried if I get the job and have to move sooner, they will hate me. But I'm 30 years old, I need to do what's best for me, and being up there with him is what's best for me. There's just so many things to consider, but could this be it?  Could this be the opportunity I've been waiting for? Is this God's way of saying it's time? Any and all input from you guys would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Are you planning on moving in with your BF and living with him and not being married to him?  If yes, then NO it's not God telling you to do this.  Living with a boyfriend/girlfriend before marriage is sin.  God will not tell you to sin.

Good luck froggylover227! If you feel that moving ahead of schedule is the right thing than follow your heart and you won't go wrong. I hope your job opportunity works out for you and is everything you hope it to be! I live in Massachusetts, lots of history here, weather is better than a lot of other states, you'll love it!

Thank you everyone for your responses and wishes of good luck! I did apply for the job, haven't heard anything back yet, but it's only been 3 days! If/when I hear anything back, I will keep you all updated!

Whenever I have been faced with a difficult, possibly life changing choice, I have asked myself this question:  What is the worst case scenario?  be realistic about the possibilities - e.g. what if you and the boyfriend split up?
If you can deal with the "what ifs" - then go for it!
