For the last six years of being a mother, I have found that I have been reluctant to say “yes” to things outside of my family. I have felt like my priority had to be my family.
While I know there are certain seasons in life when we cannot say yes to a lot of extra activities- I found that there was a deeper issue why I was reluctant. I was afraid to say, "yes". I've been asked in years passed to step into leadership roles and I have usually declined.
The root cause of my declining I have figured out is fear.
This past spring, the call came from a gal with my MOPS group asking if I would prayerfully consider being one of two coordinators for the following year. Me? Coordinator? With all honesty I thought she had confused me with another woman in the group.
I could not fathom standing up in front of the group leading women in prayer and having all eyes on me.
