When God Closed the Door: Why Being Let Go Was the Best Thing for My Purpose

I didn’t plan to be a stay-at-home mom. I didn’t plan to lose a stable job of 5+ years while pregnant. But when God closed that door, He opened a new one — one that led straight to my purpose. Sometimes what feels like a setback is really a setup for the life you were always meant to live.

The Unexpected Shift: Losing the Job that Defined MeGetting let go during pregnancy felt like betrayal. I gave years of loyalty, long hours, and hard work. But in that quiet space after the layoff, I heard something deeper than disappointment. I heard God saying: “Now it’s time to build your own.” What I thought I lost, He replaced with vision.

From Breakdown to BreakthroughThat season stripped me of false security and pointed me toward what really mattered. I didn’t just want to make money—I wanted to make meaning. I didn’t want to build someone else’s dream anymore. I wanted to create space for women to heal financially, emotionally, and spiritually. And I knew the future I wanted for my daughter wouldn’t come from playing small.

Recommitting to the Vision: Don’t Sleep on MeDon’t Sleep on Me was already in motion—but this time, I gave it my all. I poured into the mission like never before, not just for me, but for the little girl watching me. I wanted her to grow up knowing that obedience to God’s purpose is worth the risk. That legacy isn’t about wealth alone—it’s about faith, freedom, and worth.

God Will Use the Unexpected to Uncover Your AssignmentIt’s easy to trust God when life is predictable. It’s harder when the rug is pulled from under you. But the truth is, many of us are too loyal to old assignments. When He closed the door on my job, He handed me the blueprint for my calling. Don’t resist the shift. Let it lead you.

Takeaway: Closed Doors Aren’t Always CursesIf you’re in a season of transition, know this: God wastes nothing. Even in endings, He is birthing something new. Whether it’s a business, a book, or simply a new way of being — your purpose will rise from the ashes if you let it.
