one life - consecration precedes commissioning

it has been quite a week, but it ended quite well.

Yesterday was the last session where the DG met as a group. After the "much awaited" test, the final one for the whole course (Phew!), we headed to BPJ Plaza Macs to have a proper closure as we will be moving back to the heterogenous CG mode according to our life stations (i.e some matchmaking intention for the singles group, I am sure). 3 of us got a bit emotional and teared while sharing because over the 2 years, we have grown to be quite attached to one another, 2 married mothers with kids, 1 newlywed, one about to get married and 4 singles. It was a heartfelt moment as we reflected on the year plus we have been together.

I learnt something through my DGL once again. I can't thank God enough for her journey she had shared and the life she has been living that truly shows how God has been working in her and through her. While we thanked her for leading us these 2 years, she told us that being a leader doesn't mean that they must all adequate and strong. She told us how she comes to God with trembling everytime with doubts in her head about how to best lead the group, but how God has always pulled through for her. She told us that we need merely to have the heart to die daily that God will use what little we have to honour Him and glorify Him, because ultimately, it is not about us, but about Him. She said that only when we feel inadequate, then we truly know how to lean on His grace, and how He will be able to work powerfully in us. I felt that God is speaking to me through her as I recalled the conversation in the car with J the other night.

IDT started with me being uncomfortable about the sharing session where we have to be transparent and authentic to some degree about our lives, but at the end of it all, that is the part I appreciate most, because through these ladies, I learnt a lot about God. I learnt how to approach God in different aspects of my life I have yet to experience and I learnt how to put God in the equation of life. I pray that as these ladies are sent forth to their respective CGs, that they will continue to bless the people around them.
