Then, out of nowhere, I was offered a great job, but I had to turn it down because I had committed to completing the school year with my students. I wasn’t distraught about the decision to decline the position. I decided to just trust God and ask the Holy Spirit to nudge me toward the positions that I needed to apply to.
And the next thing I knew, I looked up and the school year was ending. My stuff was all packed up. I did not re-sign my lease. I was ready to move, but I had no job prospects or even a place to live. All I had was a promise from God. But, Sisters—that was all I needed! I just chose to believe God.
On the last day of the school year for staff, as I was preparing to say farewell to the colleagues I’d been working with for ten years, I got a phone call. “How soon can you get here? We want you.” It was the job I’d declined just a few months earlier.
Ten days after that phone call, I was at my new job in a new city. I left my family and my friends, and I traveled to a place where I didn’t know a soul. And God has been blessing me ever since!
