TO FIND A RIGHT POSITION
SOME YEARS AGO, RIGHT OUT of college and before beginning my business career, I spent a few years teaching school. I decided to get a master's degree in elementary education, which included getting my teaching certification. As I was graduating that June, I was told that I should expect an easy time finding a job, since I'd done well academically and schools were in need of male teachers.
I'd been used to listening to God for guidance in all areas of my life. But in this case, I did very little to pray to find the right position. I simply jumped into the interviewing process. As interviews came and went, and the summer started to wind down, I was still without a job offer.
