Since SS is a real estate broker, he was interested in possibly buying our house. However, he called on Tuesday to let us know that he wouldn’t be able to purchase it himself but would check with other brokers he knows to see if any of them might be interested.
Meanwhile, at work, my boss told me he was leaving the customer service department and moving into operations. He then asked if I would be interested in stepping into a supervisory position.
As he spoke about the opportunity, my thoughts started racing: This would look great on my résumé… I’ve never had a role like this before… What an amazing opportunity! But then, I heard the Lord speaking to my heart:
"Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I still trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10)
In that moment, I knew this was a turning point. If I accepted the position, I would be making the choice to stay employed rather than following God's calling on my heart.
So, I made my decision—I won’t take the position. But I told my boss that I would pray about it and talk with my husband.
