Many times I tried so
hard to be up to date in publishing new posts here in my blog but poor me I
couldn't keep up. With my husband finally commissioned to be the Pastor of a
mission church, we basically come and go from our house to the mission place.
I
know there will be great adjustments and some difficulties and lots of
challenges ahead of us but on top of that I am actually excited to what God has
prepared for us in that new place. Being a missionary family and a missionary
wife post great responsibilities but I know that God had chosen us to be in
that place and God will enable and will qualify those He had chosen.
We
had been living in two places and sleeping in two houses for the past months
since we did not fully move in yet to the new place. We are here in our old
house (staff house actually of the church where my husband is working) during
weekdays and go to the mission place on weekends. It’s not that far but
sometimes travelling is a challenge if we won’t go early in the afternoon of
Fridays. No taxi will say yes to us especially if they see that we had tons of
loads =) (that’s because we are slowly gathering and moving our things and we
carry what we can every time we go there).
So
those are the things that are going on with me and this family of mine for the
past months. And so now we love what we are doing and loving the new place and
loving the new journey God has given us.
And
I am excited to tell you all that finally we had our first Ladies Fellowship
last Saturday. We are using Myrna Alexander’s After God’s Heart Bible Study
Series on Loving and Obeying God based on the Book of 1 Samuel. It’s a great
study and as a Christian Woman it is my desire to be a woman after God’s heart.
I am happy that God had given me the privilege to lead a Bible study as part of
our church’s ladies ministry.
We
finish our first topic, Coping with Pain where we study how Hannah coped up
with her pain of being barren and for being constantly ridiculed by her
adversary. We learn some Biblical ways and principles on dealing with painful
and difficult situations. We also discover about faithfulness both of Hannah
and of God.
And
one thing I could not shake off is the principle that when we are facing life
difficulties, we should turn to God first not to anything or anyone else and just give Him our emotions and tell Him everything.
Oftentimes we seek relief in life’s hardships by turning to people, friends and
relatives or by going out and relaxing instead of facing them and laying them
at the feet of Jesus first.
So
there goes my week =) Thanking and Praising God for His blessings! =)
