I imagine, that if one were diving off a cliff, one would have a great deal of faith that once they landed, all would be well. I also imagine that the leap off the cliff is filled with a sense of both terror and exhilaration. Further, I imagine that there would be people on the sidelines cheering one on (go for it, you're awesome, you can do it, we believe in you), and others that are the naysayers (you're crazy, you'll never make it, what are you thinking, don't do it!).
These are the feelings I have right now. After 15 years, my husband and I are exploring the possibility of drastically changing our business life. There are those that are supporting us one hundred percent, and those that are trying to thwart us at every turn. Life is way too short and it is a risk both my husband and I feel it is time to take. As we stand poised to take the leap, I feel both terror and exhilaration. Please pray for us, that when we land all will be well, and that we will be better for having taken the leap.
good luck! we are going through exactly the same dilemma right now ourselves - must be the age (late 20s right?) that everyone wants to make changes ;-) i think we're going to take the risk, hold our breath, and hope all turns out fine - hoping the same for you guys!

Praying for the best for you guys! All will turn out fine, if it wasn't worth doing those who are against you wouldn't even take the time to care!

You've got support in the blogosphere. Good luck with your leap!

Been there, sister.
I can assure you that it is easier for my husband to face the challenges of having taken "the leap" than to face the challenges of wondering "what if".
We've done both.
Praying for you right now!!

All very good comments. You know which side we're on--behind you 100%, with faith you will do well and be SO happy you went for it!

You go girl.
The alternative is living with the "I wonder what would have happened if we had tried?" syndrome.
Life is for living...and challenge and change.

"Pray for a good harvest, but continue to hoe." Pray about it, and then make the very best decision you can. God will take care of the rest.
I will definitely pray for you too.

I'll be a supporter! And praying that whatever you do turns out well. I agree with the Queen B...not taking the risk and the not knowing would be much harder for me than actually just doing it. I hate wondering 'what if.'

Good luck. Sometimes you have to make the big jump to get to the next level.
