Finding a job for a mom that does it all is challenging in 2025. . . and every year prior. I put in about fifty applications in two months before I was offered a job working as a secretary at a local small business. From the very beginning, I knew I wasn’t going to be good at it, despite trying my hardest to wrap my head around every procedure. I took as many notes as I possibly could and asked plenty of questions, but it didn’t help.

I felt foggy. I thought to myself, “How can you be so incredibly bad at something that should be so easy?” I couldn’t understand how I kept messing everything up. I lost motivation and had to triple check my work to make 1,000% sure that it was done correctly.

Starting last week, I started praying for clarity in this confusing situation. For the last year, I have felt like something different and better is on the way. I’ve felt unsettled and in need of guidance.
This is what I said, “God, thank you for providing but I need guidance. I feel foggy and unsure. Please give me a sign that I will know with 100% certainty the direction that I need to go.”

I walked into work today, and it felt different. I texted my fiancé and told him that something was going to happen. I’m either getting what we southerners like to call a “talkin’ to” or I’m getting fired.

I got fired today. But on good terms. It was relieving. I can’t say that I’ve ever had such a clear sign from God before, but there it was.

So, with that being said, I’m about to head out to put up fliers to grow my cleaning business and focus on growing my farm (we have new baby bunnies! Yay!).
