Exodus 4:10-12

Exodus 4:10-12 "But Moses pleaded with the LORD, 'O Lord, I'm just not a good speaker. I never have been, and I'm not now, even after you have spoken to me. I'm clumsy with words.'
 'Who makes mouths?' the LORD asked him. 'Who makes people so they can speak or not speak, hear or not hear, see or not see? Is it not I, the LORD?  Now go, and do as I have told you. I will help you speak well, and I will tell you what to say."
With the different interviews I've had recently, I remember thinking this before I would go into them.  "I can't speak in front of people" or "I don't know what to say." "I'm just not a good speaker."  I think this on a daily basis; however, before I went into my first interview, I said a small prayer to God, "Lord, I've practiced for this and done all I could to prepare for it...now it's up to you Lord.  Put the words into my mouth so that they are glorifying to you. It's all you now, Lord."  Even I was surprised when I left that interview.  I made eye contact, remembered to have a firm hand shake, and answered all the questions and even had documents to show for some of the questions they asked. I know, without a doubt, I couldn't have done it alone.  Like I said before, I am not a speaker. I'm not  a good interviewer.  I have never really interviewed for any of the jobs that I have worked; therefore, had a feeling if I did get called for an interview, I wouldn't know what to say, but God took care of me.  He provided the words and even the documents.  Yes, I had the documents in a portfolio ready to show, but it was God who helped me plan out the right documentations.  He knew before I did what questions were to going to be asked and what answers I would provide.  He knew I was going to need that portfolio and actually use it. Honestly, when I made portfolios for college classes, I thought it was a waste of time and energy, but it was so easy to pull from those portfolios to use for a professional one to use for interviewing now.  I can't thank God enough for that interview or the two I had today! God truly is amazing and when you give HIM yourself, your time, HE will provide! HE always has provided for me and always will! It truly does take faith as small as a mustard seed. Luke 17:6
