Chamissa Anderson - Allowing God to
“I believe God places people in our lives for certain seasons to groom us for what is forthcoming. After college I got a job working in the corporate world and coaching basketball part time. Doing whatever it took to get to practice in the evenings and games on the weekends became an art for me challenging myself to maintain time management. My love and passion for coaching was blatantly obvious to friends and finally one asked me “Why don’t you do this full time?” I had never been asked that before and my eyes were opened to the possibilities that day. It was possible to make coaching my full time career. God placed it in my heart that He would provide a full time job for me in coaching I just had to trust Him. After applying all over the country…I FINALLY received my first college coaching job. God had called me to the middle on Kansas at a local junior college. The job was part-time salary which meant I would need to rely on God to help with financials as well. Did I miss God? No, I had heard from Him and I knew to accept the position and move to Kansas 14
7figure$
by faith. After three days accepting the part-time position the current head coach if 18 years called me and told me she was resign. That very moment I remember my first thoughts being “God knew.” And not only did He know but He had something bigger in store for me that year. Who knew that we would make history that year and win the first EVER national championship for the college. Doesn’t God work in wonderful ways? After winning it all…I could only think - WOW that was a God thing! I remained at the college for two more years and God began to lay it on my heart to pursue another workplace and a new community to impact. I prayed and prayed that He would open what was right and give me peace in the process. I would always tell myself in the waiting period that God had another person’s life for me to touch. I found in fact He did have someone special to Him for me to minister to.
