How do you know if something is Gods will? I am going though something right now I feel its God will but maybe its my own will that wants it.

Does it violate Scripture in any way? If so, it is not God's will as God will never want anyone to violate His Word. Do a lot of praying. List all the reasons for doing it and all the reason for not doing it and look for Bible verses that support these possibilities. You need to look at verses intheir correct context and application and not try to make a verse fit. Go to someone who not only knows the Bible but also is a strong Christian (look at Matthew 7). Ask them to pray about the situation and study the circumstances. Later, discuss with them how they see it and why. I would suggest doing this with two or three other people and meet with them privately to discuss it.

I had a friend who made a very poor decision. They wanted to do something and were looking to find any possible angle to justify their decision. IMO, there was much evidence what they should do, but they chose to do the opposite. From what I know, this person still regrets their decision; and they are very unhappy.

I have two things going though one is this woman been talking with and should I expand my business. So each doesnt violate Scripture. Well guess all depends on how I go about getting these two things. I am questioning the woman more. I feel its Gods will for me to be with her or maybe its my heart wanting it.

I suggest taking it slowly and really getting to know her as a person. Can you do this being just friends for a while? Find out where you agree and where you disagree and why. If you agree but for different reasons it couldstill cause a problem later. Just be yourself and ask her to be herself.

How much would it cost for you to grow your business? If you lost that money, could your business still survive? How much debt do you have now? Will you be adding more debt? Can you do the new deal without using your current property or equipment as collateral? If your property taxes doubled or tripled, would you have the resources to pay the taxes? With all the programs the new administration is planning, they are going to need a lot of money - we all know that money is going to come from the tax payers and land owners who are ordinary, hard working citizensand not the big corporations nor those who are here illegally.
