Once the school year ended, Wright began working on her doctorate. She dreamed of going into higher education, and she did — serving for eight years at Montreat College in the education department.


Ten one day, administration called her in to let her know they had to eliminate the department due to budget cuts. She was disappointed to hear she would lose her job.


Feeling uncertain but hopeful, Wright decided to call up one of her colleagues, the dean of the College of Education (COE) at NGU, to see if the university might have any openings. Te two had met several years earlier, and she’d left the dean a copy of her resume.


“I explained to her what had happened, and she asked me if she could interrupt me for a moment. She told me that she had walked up her letter of resignation the previous week — she was going to retire — and at that time, they had asked if she could recommend anyone. She had given them my resume, which she had kept since my initial visit,” Wright remembers. “Te miracle, to me, was that God knew then that I would be needing a job, and He had already begun providing for me. Tat God brought me here is undeniable.”
