I CAN do hard things!

I am tempted to but will make no apology for how silly this may sound (because I am on a crusade to stop saying bad things about myself), but I am scared of job interviews! I am scared to go out into the real world and strut my stuff!

Or maybe I should say I was scared. But I have received so much strength, growth, and confidence from the Lord in the past few weeks and now I am relieved to say that I CAN do hard things!

This is the something I think I remember my sister Patti telling her kids to repeat to themselves when having difficulty with a task. And it has stuck with me! I am learning to reassure myself with positive reinforcement (sounds like I am raising myself!) and dismissing things that are not true from my mind. Ryan is an excellent teacher and even more excellent at dispelling all lies that come out of my mouth. What a treasure he is.

So back to the p0int, I DID it! I applied for a job online, got an interview and I went! Even worse, I was LATE! I thought I knew where it was but didn't so I had to go home and google it again. But I didn't freak out, just laughed, and everything turned out fine! It was an enjoyable experience and even if nothing comes of it, it is experience.

I CAN do hard things! And so can you!
