I never regret hanging on
It is truly indeed that overflowing of JOY comes when we overcome certain struggles that we go through. One thing that I’ve got to say is, “What else more is too hard for the Lord? NOTHING! PRAISE HIM FOR ALL HE HAS DONE!!”
Last few months, ever since NP was split into 2 groups under 2 different leadership and objective, it had been tough for me. I struggled through comparison, dwelling in the past ministry, own spiritual life, overloaded of members to take care, and the list goes on. Many things came trashing down and I feel so lost and alone. I felt as if no one was there to help and understand. Although I have some sisters whom I’m close with, but ultimately they are only a listening ear to me hearing me out solutions does not comes from them. God just seems so far from me and that everything seems so impossible.
To be honest, there are many times and incidence that made me want to give up but one thing that always held me back was the relationship that I have with God, the goodness of being with Him as compared to being without Him. It is really far much worst to live a life without Him. Yes, definitely things are going to be easier and lesser challenges but at the end of your life you’ll just miss the purpose of life and you’ll not have eternal life too. God is good and faithful! He never tests us beyond what we can bear and I can give thanks and praise Him for that.
And when I turn back to God again and work hand in hand with Him, what seems impossible become possible. I see how God move in my group, in the hearts of the people. I see how God can work through me when I picked up courage to do what deem right in God’s eyes. I just do whatever I can and anything I know to build the group and myself too.
It was really a success that 17 out of 18 members in my group actually signed up for camp. It is a miracle as half of them are not really regulars and I am really proud of them to take a step of faith in wanting to know God more and seeing themselves gain something from the camp. I am really anticipating for the work of the Lord’s hand to be even greater in my group and of course I pray that the same will happen for the rest of the group. I pray for God to use me even more, in a greater measure.
God you are good!!
Just want to say thank you to Gabrielle, Daphane, Nel, Ace and Isaac who were there for me in tough times. I appreciate you all to be there and to really listen out and help me out. I know that at times I can get really emotion roller coaster and can get quite out of hand and hard to handle. But thanks for your patience, grace and tolerance on me. Thank you! :)
