Stacy’s* Story: When God Called Me toStay

How often do we pray for God to change our situation? Weland somewhere outside of our comfort zone and pray that God will take away ourpain and that He will lead us down a better path. For me, it was 1986; I had been out ofcollege for just under two years and was working in the technical recruitingindustry in the Dallas area. The company that I was working for was expandingand I was offered a promotion to move to the Houston office. They had a Houstonteam in place but told me that there were a “few issues in the Houston office.”  

Immediately after arriving in Houston I began tosee how difficult this situation was going to be. The first issue was thatHouston was suffering very high unemployment of over 9%. This was of coursemore than a small problem in the recruiting business. My biggest struggle, though, was not theunemployment rate but the other employees in our Houston office.
