Currently we are in dilemma as hubby wants to take Finance course next month.
The fee for this class is a hefty sum for us since we have very limited resources.
At first, I am a bit reluctant because of my own case when hubby encouraged me to take this course last year, I thought I wanted to give it a try and perhaps it could be another source of income, but after almost a year I ended up abandoning it for many reasons or excuses to be exact, either I don't have enough time to study further or it's not my interest in the first place etc and I had this little regret for money that wasted and I called it failed investments.
Thus, when he wants to take this course this year, I have this uncertainty and anxiety if this would be a good or another failed investment.
Another reason why I am reluctant to let go this sum of money for the course is we have already planned to go to Holy land next year and it would take a hefty sum too ; almost third of our saving accounts.
If he takes this course, it almost wipes out our saving accounts and left with few thousand dollars only.
The whole night I am contemplating on this, whether we go ahead with both plans, or sacrifice one of the plans. I thought it over and over again, as for me, Holy Land is not in my bucket list so if we decide to let go this opportunity, I am really fine with that. But for him, Holy Land trip is on his bucket list, so he makes this as priority and as for this financial course, it's something that he wants to learn and enrich himself to find something else that he might find his passion.
I'm praying and discerning for this and ask God what He wants me to do and suddenly I am reminded by this verse from Proverbs 30 : 8 - 9
In short, this verse reminds me to trust in God's providence.
Both have good values, Holy Land trip will help our faith to grow, the finance course will definitely enrich hubby's knowledge and he might find something meaningful in his life other than his day to day office job.
In the end, I just said to God, if we need to let go this sums of money in return to bring more goodness in our faith and family life, I will surrender to God and let it go.
As I always said to him before that He will provide as what He has done to our family over the past years.
His way is too big for us to understand especially in human eyes but with the eyes of faith, there's nothing impossible to God
