Lil Shauna has been so busy since the end of last year. Her social calendar is filled to the brim including meetups and cell group meetings with 2 different youth groups. One was with Faith Methodist that she grew up with and another with CNL, her kindergarten church, whom she re-accustomed as a result of volunteering at the church camp.
She is so busy during the weekends - she sometimes have lunch with one cell group friends, then cell group meeting, following by cell group with the other youth group plus dinner. We literally dont see her for the entire Saturday. This went on for a while and it took a toll on her. For a while, she was upset that she is so busy yet didn't want to make a choice to leave any of the youth groups. Mummy knows best and told her that one day, she will naturally year more towards one group and decision making will be easier then.
The "one day" has come. I was hoping that she would choose FM over CNL so that the family can continue to attend the same church but she seems to lean towards CNL. The group is smaller and likely to forge stronger bond. My desire aside, I come to realise that it is more important for her to find the best environment to grow in the Lord; we all part ways one day, isnt it?
Her choice? CNL youth group - she said that she is able to relate better to the messages taught. She made the decision of attending FM for last x times before she moved fully to CNL and responsibly informed her FM cell group through messaging; teenagers no longer know how to carry phone call conversations.
The day has come for her to attend the FM cell group one last time. She came home with a heavy heart and a whole bag of sweet farewell gifts and messages. Awwwww... Her cell group mates are so sweet!
Time will heal, mummy knows best. I am sure she will soon move on and embraces her "new-found" extra time on weekend. God will honor her choice too and be with her as she gets to know Him more. Amen.
Mummy Lim
