There was a perfect job I found and applied for. Yes, I’m building a business, but we’re struggling now. It was for a church, in the youth ministry, as the assistant to the department. I’ve been in administration for two decades, have professional experience in church and parachurch organizations, have a decade in motherhood, have children that age, and wouldn’t have to put my kids in child care. It was perfect. After a week, I called to follow up and was stonewalled by the receptionist. Tried to email but the listing was closed.

It was like God closed the door that He opened. I don’t understand.

And we’re still struggling.
