Hello...



If God wants you to go there is no question. You should obey. But I do not know if he would have you to move away from your son. Your personal relationship with God is first then your spouse, then your kids and then ministry..If you are not married it is your relationship with God and then your son....

God knows what is best for you and your son. Trust God to lead you to do the right thing. Your son, because of his age, will have to come first. Any woman who does not understand that is not the one for you.

When you marry someone who has children, whether they are living at home or not, the kids are part of the "package deal" so to speak. If a woman asks you to move away from your son to be with her, she does NOT have your best interests or your son's best interests in mind. Like GL said, any woman who does not understand this is not the woman for you. If God says go, go. But, while I could be wrong, I do not believe that God would take you away from your son at his young age.

Your son needs you now more than ever .. and your ex needs help in caring for him. If you're going to flirt and fall in love with a Godly woman, do it within a very comfortable distance of where your son will be. Right now, he is your first ministry after your walk with God and your life must revolve around building him up after the divorce and not around your own needs. Surely there must be some good women around you that you can find. Stay open to God's leading and to those around you whom He may open doors to.



I assure you that if you fall in love and move away where you only see your son once every year or so, this will be a move he will not understand and you will regret the rest of your life.

I can add my two cents here: God works on His time so wherever HE wants you to be, no matter where YOU want to be, you will be according to His will.



Case is point: I NEVER thought I'd live in California. I got dared...

I told my mother at 16 I'd never live in California, near Los Angeles, I'd never be anywhere near the San Andreas fault.. Well, now I live NEAR Los Angeles, I'm IN California and on TOP of the San Andreas Fault... :)



God places you where he needs you to be, no matter where you want to be.
