Even in the bad times he's there and it is the bad times that bring us closer to him. Worry only that you are right with God and if his plan includes becoming an officer, then you will. No one person, officer or otherwise can compete with God and the working of his plan in your life. You have come a long way and I am extremely proud of you and feel that much closer to you. I know you probably get sick of hearing me say it (especially when I'm struggling myself) but pray, rely on God. Seriously, what else is there? We need to do our best to give up control and come before God with everything. Remember to keep your eye on the prize. As hard as things may seem, always trust in God.

I can attest first hand, that the person I came in as is far from who I am now. Not that I have changed personally (like my personality, etc) but in terms of my confidence, my gifts, my way of handling things, etc. You go to CFOT to become equipped, not because you are equipped (well, a little bit equipped but not completely....we will never be completely anyway, will we?) Anyway, I am glad this hasn't shaken you to the core beyond functioning. Continue to grow - I am encouraged by you, Jackie! :) You can’t possibly be all that you can be before CFOT.
