For three Fridays now, hubby and I (with our two very young kids in tow) have been actively serving again in our community, the Couples for Christ.
It has been a very long time since we have facilitated, yet alone, facilitate as a couple.
Since hubby and I practically grew up in the community, we are used to facilitating and serving in the community, as individuals. Now that we are serving as a couple to other couples, I am seeing a new aspect of my hubby I have never seen before :)
To make the long story short, I am seeing a partner who is stepping up! :) I am actually delighted to see hubby become bolder in his service. I haven't seen this side before because I have always seen the "shy" and quiet him. I have always seen the hubby who takes the back seat. I was the one who is the more dominant one, so this time I am at the back seat, supporting him. I am letting him lead. I am submitting to my husband's decisions (which is not easy for me ok?). The act inspires me. He inspires me :)
I am also enjoying the fact that we are doing it together. It's like we have a new "project" or a new "baby."
It is a bit of a challenge to do this service every Friday nights (rain or shine), with two very young kids in tow. Not to mention that being facilitators not only require the Friday nights, but more. But we are up to the challenge. We are enjoying our service. I and hubby take delight and are humbled to have been tapped to serve Him again through our community.
We are happy to be back. We are thankful to be back.
