As a culture we have taught our young people to follow their dreams, to pursue their career with vigor or fulfill their own ambitions of the “American Dream” as their chief end.  Maybe not in those exact words but by our encouragement  and tacit approval of their interests in temporal things alone, we have. Have we instructed our children to act justly, mercifully and  humbly (the book of Micah by the way) as their chief goal by both our words and actions?  God in his providence has placed us as individuals in this time/space continuum we call life for His purpose and glory.   Seek first His kingdom and every thing we need will be added unto us. Here is a practical blog by Randy Alcorn that might help us when choosing to relocate or simply advising our kids in their own life choices with God’s purposes in mind.  I hope you find it encouraging. http://biblicalcounselingcoalition.org/blogs/2015/01/19/2-principles-to-consider-if-you-are-planning-to-move-advice-to-a-mobile-society/   sola deo gloria
