God is GOOD!

A little while ago, I shared on my blog about my need to cease from being too active in church but to re-focus my attention towards my family. Initially, when I found that I'm carrying a new life within, I thought that I would continue to serve in The Marriage Course (TMC) Season 5, which will end in October and from then on, take a sabbatical leave. However, I have been plagued with continuous 'problems' related to my pregnancy that I seriously doubted I could muster up the energy for TMC, I could barely function as a mother and wife as it is.

When my pastor shared that revival for the church needs to start from revival in the families, because without families, the church wouldn't exist, I felt a strong conviction and the confirmation that my decision to cease active service is the right one.

So I silently prayed that God will help ease me out of my 'ministries' for as those of you who have served in church committees will understand that once you are in, it's not that easy to get out!

When I went to the TMC Task force Meeting this morning I fully intended it to be my last one although I wasn't sure how my decision would be taken. But I need to give praise to God that He prepared my 'colleagues' well, because they were most supportive of my decision and my portfolios were handed over to capable hands in no time and little hassle.

God prepared the way for me, all I had to do was to step out in faith and obey.
