Update

The interview yesterday went really well. But I didn't get the job so I will just count it towards more interview experience. The principal called me the same day to let me know the position was going to someone else, but he told me that he will recommend me to other principals. With about 300 people applying for one opening this will be very helpful.

One of my best friends called me after I had just gotten the news and she was very encouraging to me. I was having a little meltdown and just feeling confused and frustrated. I started questioning everything in my life. She reminded me that my life is not my own, it isn't all about me. It is about Jesus and I am just one little letter in an entire story. However, she was also so encouraging in reminding me that I am loved and cared about.

Last night I came across this Bible verse...
Acts 20:24
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

I am really getting excited about my interview with World Harvest and I can't wait to meet my potential teammates. It will be so fun to spend the week with people who love missions as I do. Also, a bonus to the week is that my aunt and uncle live about 15 minutes from World Harvest and I will get to stay with them for the week. I haven't seen them in 3 years! So it will be fun to catch up with them and be with family in the midst of a potentially challenging week.
