Today is Women’s Bible Study. Our new Pastor’s wife started to run the group a few weeks ago. She’s a great leader and really has a heart for women’s ministry. I’ve been attending every meeting since she took over the group.
Yesterday afternoon I got a call from Peanut’s Title 1 Parent Educator that we were having our bi-monthly Family Interactive Team Meeting (FIT). It was being held at the same time as Bible study. I had a dilemma on my hands. And it was truly a “world” vs “faith” dilemma.
Knowing how important attendance to the FIT meetings are to the funding of conferences for the school and that they are held every other month I didn’t have much of a choice. I admit that I didn’t pray about it which wasn’t very good on my part. I’m working on that aspect of my life.
I made the decision that I’d be attending the FIT meeting. I called Pastor’s wife to let her know and to apologize. It was good that I went because we only had 5 parents there today. The other schools had a lot more parents attending.
I’ve got to go back to seeking what God wants before making decisions. This is a tough area for me. I’m used to being independent and I make quick choices. One thing I’ll need to do is stop and then act, kind of like stop before opening my mouth. I have a huge problem with that too. Thank goodness for God’s forgiveness!
