To Everything There Is A Season

“I was always the one searching for work. I practiced interviews until the answers felt rehearsed. I refined my résumé, built experience books, and did everything I was told would make me ‘ready’—yet it never seemed like enough. Interview after interview. Rejection after rejection. All while my husband was fully immersed in building a program and mentoring teenagers I hadn’t even met yet.”
—Becca Moore (Chapter 10)

Job searching in education today is exhausting. You can have too much experience—or not enough. You can do everything right and still be told no. And more often than not, it feels less about qualifications and more about who you know and who’s willing to open a door for you. That reality is hard to swallow, especially when you’re showing up, doing the work, and still being overlooked.

That season tested me. It wore on my confidence. It made me question my worth. And it forced me to sit in uncertainty.

In this chapter, it isn’t just about a job change—it’s about a shift in our entire family dynamic. Roles changed. Priorities shifted. Identity was tested. Because for everything there truly is a season, and not all transitions arrive gently.

Some seasons stretch us.
Some humble us.
And some prepare us for what we didn’t yet know we’d need next.
