Praying for direction on my career

Got offered a really good paying job but it would mean traveling 3-4 weeks a month. My family comes first and I know that but the extra income would help us a lot. My wife and I have been praying about this together but I'd appreciate any prayers from you guys too. Trying to trust God's timing rather than make a rushed decision.

This is the real dad dilemma right here. More money is great but traveling 3-4 weeks a month is brutal on the family. I turned down a job with similar hours a few years back and honestly don't regret it. Your kids only get to be kids once.
Have you thought about asking them if there's any flexibility on the travel schedule? Some companies will negotiate if you're a strong candidate. Even getting it down to 2 weeks a month could change the whole picture for your family situation.
