I had an interview today for a 6 month internship I MUST complete in order to become a Registered Dietitian. This was my first formal interview. There was every reason for it to be an intimidating situation; I was interviewed by 2 groups of TEN people. So I walk into a room and there are 10 adults dressed very formally sitting around a table. They ask me questions for then minutes then I move on to the next room where I experience the same thing. I've had no practice in the interview setting minus a few tips from my friends and family. I'm not the best at answering questions on the spot especially when I am asked to create a scenario where such and such happened and how I reacted (typical interview questions). I talk way too fast. I have a bad sweating problem, gross I know. I have grown in my public speaking abilities but I'm no George Bush (wait bad example, I'm no *insert great public speaker*). I felt like Moses in Exodus when God was asking him to speak to the Pharoah and that was his greatest weakness.

But I had this overwhelming peace about this interview. I've stressed way too much in the past about things that are out of my control. As I prayed about this weekend I thanked God for this opportunity and ask Him to prepare my heart for HIS decision. I know that whether I completely bombed the interview or blew it out of the water would not make a difference, it's up to God. The page has already been written I am just waiting to read it.

Because of this peace I walked into that interview with so much confidence and BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER! I must have gotten 3 nods with the lip curl as I was speaking about my past four years at Clemson. I didn't fret over every word that came out of my mouth or worry about giving them what they wanted to hear. I was just...me. I left feeling great but knowing that God may have different plans for me and if so they are much better than this internship (and that must be good!). I can't imagine where I would be if Jesus didn't come into my life 3 years ago and powerwash my soul. I know one thing, I would be a nervous wreck right now trying to transition into the real word, feeling completely on my own and that the earth was on my shoulders. Thank you, Lord.
