Why I Can’t Say No to His Calling

My family has been Feast Valle Verde attendees since 2015. However, it was only around 2019 that I started serving in the production team.

I was very hesitant at first since I have a super clingy 5 year-old boy. I prayed for it because I felt I was being called. It was like God telling me, “Anak, just say Yes, Akong bahala sayo!”

I had so many concerns. How was I going to arrange our family schedule? How can I manage my son’s cling to me? Will my husband be there to help me?

True enough, God responded and calmed my worries. I was finally able to say yes and serve as stage manager and director in the morning session of Feast Valle Verde.

Yes, there are extra sacrifices to have be made. I had to stay up late to prepare for next day service and wake up early to make it to call time. Despite the sacrifices, I was really amazed how things fell into their right places. I felt so loved when my husband supported me as he knows that serving is one of the desires of my heart.

Fast forward to pandemic time. I was still able to serve the production team for Feast At Home. I directed the zoom/streamyard sessions and edited our worship videos. Serving became one of my outlets and “mommy me-time” during the lockdown period. It helped me keep my sanity as well.

Just like before, there were challenges and worries but our God assured me again, “Anak just say Yes, Akong bahala sayo!”.

As we finally resume our face to face sessions, I’m awed how our God has arranged everything in our family so that my husband and I can now serve together in the Feast. There are still many concerns and hindrances but God is there, reassuring us. He is always proving to us how He honors our “Yes” and even sends people in the community to bless our family. Truly, how can I say No to His calling?
