On the Day I Interview Myself

By Wendy Stewart-Hamilton

One day I will interview myself.

I�ll ask me all the hard questions and

Not accept �no comment� for an answer.

I�ll ask questions that lead me

To think beyond the limits of the present;

The confines of the past;

And the desires of the future.

I�ll not accept that all is out of my control,

For I know Free Will is a choice given to me.

I can choose to be inspired.

I can choose to be motivated.

I can choose to be the one God

Designed me to be.

On the day I interview myself

I�ll ask me why I waited so long.

I�ll ask me why I keep waiting.

I�ll remind myself that it�s not good to wait.

By now in my interview, I will have thoroughly

Convinced myself of something I knew all along:

Today is life�s present gift.

On the day I interview myself

I�ll ask myself what really makes me, Me.

I�m sure at first I�ll respond with

An answer like �God�s design�, that

I know will not be enough.

I then will lead more with my heart

And talk about how I love people.

How their victories make me smile

How their losses make me weep

And how I need them as much as

I think they need me.

I�ll talk about my burden.

My dream.

My vision.

My idea,

To create something so adventurous

That I wonder how I could even think

On so broad a scheme.

I�ll sit back and smile knowing that

My interview has hit the heart of

My fears, my insecurities and has

Declared them all relatively unimportant.

Because I, too, have a dream.

By this very act of possession I am listed

Among the greatest that ever walked

On the face of the earth, who thought

Themselves to be the least.

On the day I interview myself

I�ll realize why big dreams

Are given to the little Man,

Because we trust not in ourselves

But in a bigger God.

As I answer, I will realize my burden.

My dream.

My vision.

My idea.

Weren�t really my own at all.

They were taken from a book in Heaven

Called �Herein Lies Your Story�

As I talk, I�ll realize that my life

Is being checked off.

Been there, done that.

And I am eternally grateful

For a second chance.

I�ll pause for a minute

Smile my favorite smile

And turn tables on my Interviewer

�Do you think God has neat handwriting?�

I�ll laugh with myself at

My inside joke and the interview will

Continue and continue.

On the day I interview myself,

I will realize that I must always

Ask questions, seek answers

Find knowledge, Hunt Wisdom

Keep treasures, Guard Secrets

Be faithful, Be noble,

Honorable, Worthy, Precious,

Gracious, and a good steward

Of all I�ve been given.

On the day I interview myself

I�ll lean forward and whisper

�You know this interview isn�t over?�

I�ll answer back, with the same

Favorite smile,

�I know.�

�God�s not finished with me, yet.�
