If you read the Bible often enough, you may notice that there is really no right or wrong. So many prophets have done so many wrongs. There are so many examples of good men who had to suffer. They made blunders and got into all sort of situations.
I guess it is a clear message to just take things easy and believe that whatever we do, there is a reason for it. Even the wrong paths we took will someday lead us into the right direction.
I have moved here for a few days already. Although our tenancy agreement starts on the 1st of October, the landlady doesn’t mind we moved in earlier because my children and husband have a whole week holiday. Things are very chaotic because we didn’t even have time to pack properly before the lorry came to shift the bigger pieces of furniture.
So, I was sitting here, questioning if we had done the right thing of moving. We are enjoying the space. Now, I can have a dining table that sits all six of us comfortably. The kids will love going to the beach. The older boys find it much nicer because most of their friends live in the neighbourhood.
A tiny problem is the distance from my regular church. Today, I have contemplated hard and decided to stop serving in the OHP ministry and also asked my lector’s chief to find someone to take over the duty roster preparation. I can no longer zoom to church in less than 10 minutes. If someone cannot do the duty, I cannot just jump in and take over.
Now, I am also thinking of dropping choir because it will be too tedious to rush back from choir practice as it usually ends around 1 pm while my hubby plays badminton from 12 noon. Previously, I feel more secure with my youngest boy at home with his eldest brother. But now, with a house so big, I don’t totally feel secure with only big brother watching.
Today, while we were on the way to catechism class, I asked my #3 son if he wants to attend next year class at IC church. He said he will miss Andre’s Form Two class. So, maybe I will stick to the CEC ministry until such time when he is sure he wants to start anew in IC church.
This is certainly a time to ask Lead me Lord. Because I am sure there is a reason for this. Maybe it is time for me to be closer to Him minus the old roots. I have sort of ‘born and grow up’ at CHS. Maybe it is time I stand on my own in a new church. Or maybe not.
I don’t know, don’t care but I shall trust the Lord with all my heart.
