I'm acting now as the head of our cell group since our former lead will be out of work this coming Friday and may leave soon if she will not find another. Though it might just be for a few months since I am also called to serve as Discussion Group Leader on next month Christian Life Program and usually the leader will also headed the cell group formed. I recalled three years back when I was asked to be an assistant there was hesitation on my part. It was actually a mixed emotions. First I felt I'm not fit and afraid I will be laugh at if they learned (the new members) that I have mental illness. That feeling I overcome when I stand and shared my life story last Recon. It was a testimony of God's love that transform me and has been healing me. Afterwards I can feel the admiration and acceptance of the community that I felt confident I can still fit in and be accepted. The next apprehension was that I felt why given me the role of assistant head where in fact I'm a former Catechist which means I know a lot about the faith and being outstanding in most of what I do. I learned through the years the word 'humility' and 'service'. The headship in the community does not mean prestige but leading others to Jesus. I learned to value and build relationship instead. It is by treating each as a part of the family that make things worthwhile. Truly when God calls He will equip you. And I will also keep in mind that many are called but few are chosen.
