A Stewardship of Money

 

Today our family builder cell group hosted a talk "FAMILY FINANCIAL FITNESS" and by God's grace, He sent the mentor from Indonesia, Raymond Hanjaya.

As I was the person in charge for this event, I was excited and nervous in the same time because I was alone with three kids while hubby had a class somewhere else.

There's anxiety how if there's a hiccup or how if the turn out was not like what we expected or how if it didn't go smoothly etc. As the days drew closer, I have planned and prepared every thing the best I could. 

Then there's a voice reminded me again "What is my real motivation?" "Is this to prove that I am good?" or "Is this purely for God's glory ?"

If my motivation is for God's glory, I should not be worry too much. 

Imperfection is the best because we are not perfect and God doesn't pressure us to serve Him in perfect condition.

I should give thanks if there's imperfections means God will handle everything after we have done our best.

After listening to this voice, I have peace and prayed so that I had this humility even if this event will be ended in the worst scenario.

The D-day has come, my hubby accompanied and drove me there before leaving for his class, I felt being loved and encouraged by him even though he was not there in the event.

There's a hiccup during morning preparation but it's finally solved.

Long story short, everything was going smoothly, I saw joy in the audience's face and I believed that Holy Spirit has been working during the talk.

We received positive feedback for this talk and I was so relieved that finally it's over. 

But most importantly, when I learn to let go and do the best I could, God will take over and multiply it the way we don't know.

I just hope those who have attended will have the inspiration and empowered to do the right thing in managing God's blessing and became the faithful steward.

Meanwhile, we also have this Kid's Builder while the parents listened to the talk and they did art and craft, watching movie, games and sing and dance.

Towards the end of the talk, the kids were performing to the parents, this to build their confidence
