Church Camp - To go or not to go??

After a month of praying and seeking earnestly for an indication, we finally drew up the courage to register for the church camp, despite that I would be in my 36th week of pregnancy. God revealed to Terence through Hebrews 11: 17 – 19

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called, concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

We were encouraged by Abraham’s faith in God when he trusted God for the preservation of Isaac's life. Afterall, it was God who had giventh him the child. We sensed that we need to emulate the faith and obedience of Abraham. I also received another confirmation though James 2:21-24 which also spoke about the faith of Abraham which is made alive by his works.

It was not easy making that decision because God’s way and thoughts are higher than ours and beyond our comprehension. Others cannot understand why we choose to “take the risk”. Indeed, we were faced with much persuasion against it. Even our gynae was not in favour of it. I must say the negative comments did cast some doubts in my own mind and I began to worry if I can withstand the journey there and what would happen if I develop any contraction there.... sigh.

Interestingly, a church friend came to us saying that our retreat site is just five minutes walk away from a hospital and conincidentally, he has a doctor friend working there. This must be another assurance from God
