Hi Alice! Thank you so much for sharing this, it is truly insightful and beautiful. I also enjoy the book if Esther and through the courses and your response it has encouraged and brought clarity to my life. As a woman in political science I often wonder of the role I am in or am to do and I want to highlight your second point of reluctance of power. I think for those who fear in this field and are in a leadership position to do so should always go about it in faith. I will definitely apply this and the book of Esther to my life more often. I will soon do a Bible study as well so this is good insight.
