I have only been here in NC for about 10 months. I've been going to MCCW (Military Council of Catholic Women) for about 7 of those months. And I've loved every minute of it...but in the life of Fort Bragg residents, I am still quite the newbie. However, it has been requested of me that I take on the role of President for MCCW next year, especially since we found out that we won't be moving in Dec like we thought. (now it looks like we will be moving next summer, if at all). I don't know what to think. But I haven't been able to sleep the past few nights since the spiritual pressure has been turned up...its midnight here, and I can't sleep because I keep thinking about it. Keep thinking about my reasons for trying to turn the position down, inexperience being the largest one of all, and lack of organization coming in as a strong second. I know I was the point of contact for a similar group in Italy... but it was a much smaller group, and we didn't do much beyond meeting weekly. Here, being that Bragg is so darn huge, MCCW does lots and lots of stuff. I would hate for something not to happen because I didn't know about it, or am just not organized enough to make it happen. And I've mentioned this to the women who have approached me asking me to consider the position...but the thing with Christians is that they can always say that God is speaking to them, and laying me on their hearts...and that several of them are having the same feeling. And to tell the truth, I knew before they even asked, almost when the discussions first started that I needed to think about it. That God was laying it on my heart as well, and yet *I resist* (said with French accent!) And now I can't sleep. Grrrrrrr......
I guess therein lies my answer. I suspose if God can annoint a small shepard boy to lead His kingdom,(David) that maybe He can lead me too on a much smaller scale (No giants to fight for starters!) Pray for me.

You don't have to be perfect in the beginning, that is what growth is about. This is exciting and I know you can do it. It may not always be easy, but you will grow and eventually master this!
