Dwayne,

If you're filled with fear you will only see what enhances and nurtures that fear. But if you're filled with the peace of the Holy Spirit, you will see the new opportunities God is presenting and how He is working to finish spreading the Gospel. I'm excited to see how God is working to raise-up more voices to bring people into a saving relationship with Him. I know several women who are pastors and God is blessing their work for Him, sometimes more powerfully than through the male pastors around them.
