destiny??? or directive co-incidence? thoughts, please...

My husband and I live on the Western Slope in Colorado- as many of you know- the oil/gas field business is at another 'bust"... We had plans to stay here- in the area...moving to LR was the LAST thing either of us wanted or was willing to do-- but things seem to be pointing us in a direction that we did not want to go.... My parents live just outside of Little Rock Ark, so does my younger sister and her husband.... Both parents have been recently on steep decline in their health. BIL works for same oil/gas company there that hubby works for here. The company has offered hubby a transfer to LR- with all seniority, insurance, etc. intact... My parents have asked for me- being the eldest and an experienced nurse/MA... The plans we had for staying here-- an equal/alternate job for hubby , housing, etc. have all fallen through. There are no more jobs in the area where we had planned to move, the home that we were to acquire is not going to materialize- at least not for awhile ( a family member was going to let us live there rent free as they are building a new home-- but they are nowhere near completion). The lease is up on our current rental here the end of this month... We had no definite plans as of recent-- except that we have to move out of here (we can't afford the rent anymore with hubby's limited work as of late) by the EOM... This past Saturday my Mom fell and broke her hip/femur ...Then on Monday- hubby came to me and told me the company was asking for volunteers to transfer to Ark... work is available and plentiful there, yet... He asked if we could possibly reconsider moving there... Already things were seeming to point in that direction-- at least by my perception... so, in order to survive, we decided that we could revisit the idea... On Wednesday they let my Mom go home from the hospital; and hubby came in from work and told me that he was shipping out at 6 am the next day (Thursday) for LR for 3 weeks to work. Thursday morning, Mom fell again at home-- and broke her arm pretty bad.... At hubby's request-- I started looking into housing, jobs, etc in the LR area... I found a local branch of ASU that offers a good nursing program so I could easily pursue the advanced degree I have been wanting, I tried an online search for rental properties- but ended up looking at real estate for sale- and found a nice home that would fit us perfectly... talked with hubby- was pretty certain that we couldn't get financed there ( had tried, and sure couldn't get it here) -- his previous divorce had wrecked his credit pretty badly... but said to check it out- so TODAY, Friday, I spoke with the realtor- she directed me to a bank there, and within an hour- I got confirmation that we have been prequalified for an FHA loan for more than we had hoped for... I had just hung up the phone with the banker- and was scrolling thru my cell phone records for the number to call the realtor back-- just as I stopped on her number-- my phone rang-- it was the realtor... I am SO overwhelmed!!! Is everything happening like this to direct us to where we need to be-- even though it was not where we had wanted to be? I don't know how else to explain it... and I am still in shock and disbelief. All this move/transfer to LR was just initiated on Monday--- today is just Friday- 5 days later-- and we have had so many things seemingly just "fall into place" for putting us down there... ... My question and request here is for mainly support and opinions, points of view from the outside on the chain of events that have recently ensued... I greatly appreciate any and all responses...
Namaste...

This is what I feel as an empath. More than one person needs this to happen right now though.; ▶ Reply to This

My only other issue, that I failed to mention-- is that I have shared custody/limited visitaion time of my 10 YO Son, with my XH here in Colorado... He is a control freak and will NOT let me take my son even for the Summer months here... So how do I maintain a balanced schedule ( as if it ever was) of time with my Son... whom I love dearly... this one thing is breaking my heart; ▶ Reply to This

Best of luck.; ▶ Reply to This

And as MoJo said, maybe doing a type of spell to help soften the heart of your ex and make your life just a little easier. Sorry you are having a hard time. Good luck with everything.; ▶ Reply to This

key thing to remember. destiny is not always what we want.
however whether we want it or not if we buck things can get harder, if we go with the flow it can be fun; like a water slide - try and stop and you get cut and bruised, let go and you have a blast.; ▶ Reply to This

If it was not meant to happen, it simply would not. You are definitely (in my opinion, of course) experiencing some serious divine intervention.

With that in mind, I believe you will see a perfect solution work out in regards to visiting with your son.

Im glad for you that you are experiencing more positive things. ;p; ▶ Reply to This

You are not bound to LR. But maybe it will be the best move of your life. You won't know unless you take the chance. The economy is picking back up albeit slowly. You might be able to use your time in LR to straighten up loose ends before finding the home you truly desire.; ▶ Reply to This

My only thought is try to maybe ground and center if you want to a little more often since everything is a little chaotic. I realize that even an onslaught of good things can seem overwhelming. Blessings to you and your kin...; ▶ Reply to This

We sold and gave away everything we owned that wouldn't fit into a Toyota Corolla, and moved to Utah and started over from scratch. And we were both in our fifties, okay?!?! You'll be fine, Love :); ▶ Reply to This

I'm sure it'll be okay-- just needed some reassurance and affirmation, I guess (?)...
It's a tough go of things at the moment, and ALOT for me to assimilate and digest all at once...
Again- thanks, and any more input in anyway is still appreciated....
