Discernment

I'm at crossroads. I have big decisions to make and bigger problems to solve.

As you know, I am on working visa here in the US. My contract is expiring mid next year. The economy is bad and of course, my current employer is also suffering from this economic downturn. I am leaning towards not renewing my contract and just move back to Manila where I know I can get a good job. My GG does not want me to move back. Period. Now he wants us to get married so I can stay here legally which anyway he's been planning to do next year. Getting a greencard takes time and money. Yes, it is difficult!!!

I spoke with my parents and they told me that any time that I want to go back home, they'll be happy take me. I love my GG. I love my family too. I just want to make the best decision. Getting married still scares the hell out of me. I know that my GG will be a very good husband but I am scared that I might not be a good wife. =(

Discernment for marriage means marrying for the right reasons.

This too shall pass. Whatever you decide, it will be for the best given the circumstances.

Hayyy kung pwede lang umuwi ng Pinas and stil enjoy the same salary...

Mamahalin na rin mga bilihin sa Pinas. Pero mahirap na rin buhay sa labas ng Pinas. Kahit saan ganun naman talaga.

True! Kung pwede lang umuwi ng pinas. It doesn't matter if I make the same money or not. I know being with the family is far more important than what lifestyle I live here. Kung wala lang bf factor, madali sana mag-decide umuwi. Hayyy... Oh well! Still praying for discernment on this.
