Six Weeks

Many years ago, I began a quest to attain a job I believed would be perfect for me.  I was working in a bank at the time and while I didn’t mind the work, the schedule was not what I wanted.  I decided I wanted to work in a church office and applied for a job I just knew I’d love.  I went through the interview process and it dragged on for a while.  Ultimately, I was not chosen for that position.  I was pretty disappointed and some months later had another chance that was a sure thing, but I had to turn it down because the health insurance plan was lacking.  I gave up on that dream as I continued my life, marrying, having children, moving across the country.  As time passes, things we once dreamed of can be all but forgotten, as was the case for me.  A few months ago, I was offered a position in our church office and my forgotten dream was not only remembered but finally realized.  I was so thrilled to be invited to be apart of the Crossroads Team but I was also VERY nervous.  I have been a stay home mom for many years and the thought of going back to work outside the home EVERYDAY was daunting.  I’m still making adjustments as I try to balance work, motherhood, and home but I can say that I LOVE working at Crossroads.  It isn’t just a job in any church office.  Crossroads is a fantastic place filled with truly wonderful people and I thank God that He led our family here to worship and that He provided my dream job at the right time in my life.
