an interview for Dr Tay Eng Soon Gold medallion award

Yesterday when i recieved the call from my teacher informing me of the interview for the Dr Tay Eng Soon award. I felt both joy and fear .Joy that i am chosen to represent my nursing cohort to compete with 2 other top students from their cohort for this Gold medal and fear of failure. But thank you Lord for reminding me of your promises. Your word in hebrews 10:35 > therefore do not cast away your confidence which has great reward" kept ringing in my ears from yesterday till this morning ! thats why i totally love the word of God, it always gets me past any situation!
Im also very touched by my dear Sistor eliza! We were discussing about how to answer certain common questions for the interview. Thou its her time to relax and watch tv, she still sacrificed it to help me. I feel that she's always with me in my joy and stresses. She also quickly dug up a very nice suit for me to wear to the interview and even found a pair of black shoes (which i tot i lost long time ago ) for me to go with the suit ! I looked so smart this morning that my director was impressed and happy. This is sth i learnt from my sistor. To dress appropriately as a form of respect to the people we are meeting. When tristan came to my home at 10plus, Eliza also made sure the food was warmed up for him to eat and even asked my aunt to cook an egg for him. ( she knew he hadnt ate) . We both agreeed that she is very nice ! Im very thankful for her (and also thankful her nagging has decreased alot ...izzit coz im neater areidi?!! hahaahah)
I prayed to God for wisdom and discernment. Wisdom to say the right things and discernment to know what each interviewer expects from me when they ask provoking questions. And sure enough, the panel of interviewers (registrars, professors, directors ) asked many many questions that really needed me to think and dig and speak right from my heart ! I felt the holy spirit guiding me in my answers such that i was able to speak with boldness, confidence, assertiveness and full of passion. I never spoke with so much passion before, not even for my overseas scholarship interview. For a few 'dangerous' questions, i felt the Holy spirit prompting me to answer them in a certain way! Its so amazing because in the split seconds of comtemplating how to answer, the right words just flowed out from my mouth. And i knew they were the words the interviewers wanted to hear because i could see the delight and smiles from them. One of them even muttered " intelligent answer " . Before i left the room, one of them said " you know its going to be very very hard for us to choose 1 from the 3 of you. Because all of you are very good" ..
I replied and said that i know. In my heart i may not know if i really got the award but one thing i do is tt i have given it my all and fought a good fight. I have no regrets because whatever it is, I would love Nursing all the same and I know God has a great destiny for me.
