Needless to say I was nervous. It was like going on a lion hunt. I continually told myself that I wasn't scared, I told myself to be confident and sit straight and rehearse responses. And for the most part I was doing fine, even doing well at times.
But there were times when I got a tough question. And all of a sudden I got a big mind block. And I would feel like this block was getting between me and my lion - the teaching job.
As I've heard when we're met with challenge, we shouldn't run away from it - God didn't give us a heart of fear. And I've also heard that we can't go over it, and we can't under it so we have to go through it. There's no avoiding some tricky situations and we have to live through them. Even with my mental blocks, I completed the interviews with a slight smile on my face.
That's because I prayed before I went in.
It's also because I had several others praying for me as well.
I couldn't have done it without God's interlocking arms, pulling me through it.
I have confidence that God will help me reach an end goal, that satisfies His purpose for my life. And because of that I'm also pretty sure that I'll be able to handle the goal as well, and won't just run away from the scary lion.
