Somewhat enlightened...

Lately, hubby and I have been thinking about many issues pertaining to the future...finally decided to obtain some counsel.

Visited M & M yesterday and had dinner with their children O & T as well. :) We felt very welcomed and at home with the family. I was very touched by the whole session with them...their approach was very similar to that of our 2 other mentors. They listened, listened and listened...and made us feel so comfortable to share our deepest thoughts. They were not hasty to prescribe any formulas/solutions, but assured us time and again that they would pray for us. That meant so much to us...

From our session with them, I discovered a few things:

1. Everyone has a personal walk with the Lord and everyone has a unique experience
2. Every family has its unique sets of circumstances and calling
3. The most important foundation is to make every decision together in unity and walk in step with the Lord TOGETHER

I am a person who formulates many ideals...once I have formulated them, I can become really inflexible...and perfectionist. Some ideals are formulated through comparison with others...etc...

But last night, the both of them helped me realise that some of my ideals may be causing me too much stress and I was reminded once again that God can work and provide in a myriad of ways.

The time with them was so fruitful, precious and encouraging.

Once again, I was blessed with an opportunity to feel affirmed as a unique individual and to be encouraged to reach out for God's unique plans for us.
