Job opportunity

As if I didn't already have enough difficult decisions to make...I received an unexpected phone call today. The director and founder of a local not-for-profit contacted me. He is resigning his position tonight to move on to other business endeavors and due to some changes in his family. He wanted to know if I was interested in the director position.

Interested? Yeah! But should I jump at the opportunity? That's a different question.

The organization has an international mission I can support and build on. It has a strong reputation in the community. It has a supportive board. It has financial problems. I told the caller, "I'm not even sure what my questions are yet, can he give me some time." We are meeting for lunch on Monday. They are looking to hire in the next six weeks. I think I can legitimately say I was just thrown a curve ball - an unexpected opportunity in the midst of my other life-altering decisions about the future.

I request your prayers for wisdom and clarity in this decision.
