Frances read the words written behind her journal once again on the drive to her new place of work

She recalled a few weeks ago when she got the letter from the head office of the company she worked for, to inform her of her transfer and promotion

Frances had always done well as a Personal assistant to her previous bosses over the years

"I don't think I'm fit for this job" she had told her friend Agnes

"You won't know unless you tried Frances, and if they picked you, then they must see in you the potential to become a leader" Agnes said as she held firmly Frances' shaky hands

"Maybe you are right" Frances hands stopped shaking and she felt the tension in her neck ease

Now she was on her way to the head office at Ikoyi.

"We have arrived at your destination ma'am" the bolt drive said bringing her back to the present

"Oh, thank you" Frances replied, she made her payments and made her way to the reception, where she informed the receptionist of her reason for being there

Few minutes of sitting in the lobby, the HR came for her, and took her to the manager

"Hello Frances, it's wonderful to have you on our Team" said Mr.Ayodele the Manager, he had a firm handshake and a soothing smile that was enhanced by his fair complexion.

Frances was introduced to the Public Relations team that she would be heading

"Hello everyone, This is Frances Johnson and she is the new head of the PR team"

A round of applause roared through the room, Frances looked at the faces of those should would be working with, they were all of different age groups

She had only had to work with one to three persons most of the time and now she has a group of twelve people

"Ms. Johnson?" She saw Mr.Ayodele staring at her and she knew she had been spacing out again

"Good Morning everyone, My name is Frances Johnson, I look forward to working with you all, and I would also like to know your names"

They began to introduce themselves one after the other and what role they played in the team.

In the weeks to come there were times she felt she was doing the right thing and at other times Frances wanted to run away like a dog with her tail between her legs

It's been two months now, she opened to the back of her journal where she had scribbled a scripture she found when she initially got the promotion

It was her ritual, everyday for the last two months, Frances would open up her journal and read "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."

She loved to read about Joshua, like her, he never wanted to fill in Moses's shoes, but he found himself in such a situation that he had to step up and lead the people of Israel

Frances learned to remind herself daily that she was no longer in the comfort zone of being someone's faithful assistant

She had to learn to be strong and courageous everyday she stepped into the office

Frances looked through the window of her office and she saw the PR team going about their own activities for the day

They had come a long way together as a team and she hoped to achieve greater things with them

Only if she would keep fighting her fears and doubt, if she could be more courageous and trust that everyday God would lead her by the hand.

Just like Frances, every person has things they fear and doubts that makes them want to shy away from challenging themselves to do more.

There is strength that comes to continue when you are conscious that your courage should be in the presence of God that is always with you

Be confident of your abilities, be courageous in whatever capacity you lead; even if it is leading your children, those younger than you, etc.
Do this and watch yourself grow in Leadership.
