I’m glad to hear that.  They’ve been asking if I’d heard anything back from you yet.  I assured them that you’d call if you were interested.  So, when do you want to get started?”
    “How about next Monday?”
    “Next Monday works for me.  I will let them know and we’ll meet you at the office, say around nine?”
    “Nine is great, Ted.  Thanks again.”
    Denise dialed the front desk.
    “Yes, Mrs. Chatman?”
    “Keisha, can you have Jonas come see me, please?”
    “Sure thing, Mrs. Chatman.”
    “Thank you.”
    Denise looked at the book covers Jonas had designed.  He really does have a gift.
    Knock Knock
    “Come in.”
    “Mrs. Chatman, you wanted to see me?”
    “Have a seat, Jonas.”
    “Thank you.”
    “After looking over these book covers I’m very impressed.  I like them all.  Tell me something.  Why’d you apply for the runner position and not something in the graphic design department?”
    “Well, one of the requirements was a degree, which I don’t have.”
    Denise nodded.  “I understand.  Well,” she stated removing a piece of paper from her desk.  “I’d like to personally offer you the position of Graphic Designer I.”
    Denise slid the offer letter across her desk.
    “Mrs. Chatman!  Are you serious?”
    Denise nodded.  “Unless you’ve changed your mind about wanting the position.”
    “No!  No!  I want it.  Oh, my God!” 
    “Take a second and read over it and let me know if you have any questions.  If you don’t, sign the bottom and then I’ll walk you over to meet Kaleb.  He’s the manager in that department.  I think you guys will get along great.”
    “Mrs. Chatman, I don’t know what to say,” Jonas stated.  He signed the offer letter and slid it back toward Denise.
    “I’ll make sure you get a copy of this, but I believe Christine has already mailed you out one.  Oh, and a simple thank you will suffice,” she smiled.
    “Thank you, Mrs. Chatman.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
    “Don’t disappoint me, Jonas.  I believe in you, You ready?” Denise asked. 
    They stood to walk out of the office when her phone rang.  She looked at the display.
    “Jonas, I have to take this call.  We’ll have to meet Kaleb later today or you can just walk over to the department and tell him who you are.  He’s expecting you.”
    “Yes, ma’am.  I can do that.”
    “Thank you.  You’ll do great,” she assured.  Will you pull the door closed on your way out?”
    “No problem.  I won’t disappoint you and thanks again,” he spoke softly as Denise answered her call.”
    “This is Denise.”
    “Hey lady, what are you doing?”
    “I’m working, what are you doing?” Denise asked playfully.
    “I don’t know what I’m doing in all honesty.”
    “What happened, Aprile?”
    Aprile sobbed harder than Denise had ever heard.  She closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek.
    “Aprile, please stop crying.”
    “I. Don’t. Know. What to do.  I feel so hopeless.  Like I don’t even wanna be here anymore.”
    “Stop talking like that!  You’re not hopeless and you have to be here whether you want to be or not.  God has a plan for your life, honey.  This is only a test and He’s going to use this test as a testimony to help someone who’s going through the same thing you are.”
    “Denise, I can’t eat or sleep.  I keep calling him and he doesn’t answer my phone calls.  I’m dying over here.”
    “Aprile...you have to stop doing this to yourself.  You can’t make someone love you.  You can’t force somebody to be with you if they don’t want to.  I know you want to be loved and like I told you before someone already does love you.  He loves you more than any man in this world ever could.  You have to get back in the Word, stop focusing on Alex, and start focusing on God.”
    “I’ve been praying and God isn’t hearing me.  He hasn’t answered any of my prayers!”
    “How do you know?  You’ve
