we always looked to yours as part of our own.  There's a kitchenette up there too, so you don't have to spend a lot of money on eating out and such.  You can have a whole shelf in the fridge, Miss Plen did.  It's light work if you would take it, just answering the phones, taking down messages.  I'm rarely in the office so I wont be looking over your shoulder or anything.  I know you don't have a lot of experience in this sort of work, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it pretty fast.  The pay is fifteen dollars an hour, you'll be working about forty hours a week."
Josephine's heart almost skipped a beat, she was only making minimum wage at the factory and that was barely enough to eat on.  "Yes sure I'll take it!" she exclaimed, "Thank you!"
Charles smiled when he saw how happy she was, "Well great then you start tomorrow.  It's at the corner of Vine and Frail, see you at nine sharp."  He then nodded to her and walked off.
The next day she arrived with her three children at work, it was an easy enough day, Charles had shown her the phones and explained the routine.  He even had food for her to cook when the kids got hungry.  It was a perfect day, she gave thanks to the Lord for it.
Many years had passed since then, Josephine now lived with her three children aged twelve, thirteen, and fourteen.  She was the head secretary and there were several under her.  The building firm was now a multi conglomerate success, she would sing hymns as she worked and the children would come there after school.  Instead of the old apartment she used to live in she now owned a house, and had a maid.  She thanked the Lord for the things he had given her and she thanked him for speaking through the preacher.  And also for working through Brother Charles.
There was a girl who worked under her named Jessi, her husband had walked out on her and her son.  Seeing how the girl was in the same place she had been so many years ago she offered her a place to stay and helped her with her needs.  They were close and went to church for a little while together.
Soon Jessi was able to afford an apartment, out on her own she decided to stop going to church.  She thought she no longer needed God, and no longer needed help from Josephine.  She had enough work experience to leave this job and get a new one elsewhere that paid more.  She handed in her final notice, Josephine wept and begged her to stay on, promising the Lord would provide in due time.
But Jessi wouldn't hear of, "I need the money now, why should I bother waiting around here, when it's right there right now?"
Josephine prayed for her every night after that, she prayed that all would go well, though she no longer saw Jessi in church.
