thoughtered

so I was pretty convinced. Informed decisions and all. New church.

Was I to look for a new church? Yes; was I to switch membership from FCC to a new church? Apparently not. I remain where I have been for all these years--with a family, full of flaws and imperfections, yet enough love to choke on. I love this family--and I need to love through and be loved in spite of my flaws and imperfections, too... of which there are too many to count (thank goodness for GRACE and FORGIVENESS)!!!!

The Lord closed the door on moving churches. I need to remain where He has placed me for now... until He moves me. Not my emotions or my whims... but His leading. Besides... the pastor rocks out sermons every week. I'm blessed. :)

technologically challenged... C3PO

so i am now on computer number three within three months. first computer committed suicide by jumping out of my hands and slamming onto a concrete floor; computer 2 had a cup of water jump into its keyboard and sizzle the non-sizzleable parts of the electronic world. so now i have computer 3, phase one. C3PO. hm.

in addition to a new (rebuilt) computer, i have a new kitty, pre-named nick, short for nickelodian. the name comes by way of a 9 year old, who deeply misses his kitty. i came to have nick in my harem of kitties (ok, so he's the second one, but who says he's the last? i may become the old cat woman...) due to a disgruntled landlord, who forced nick's family to find a new home for him and his two other kitty-buddies (another gal took the other two cats, so they were able to stay together).

nick meet suri. suri, you have a new little brother named nick. don't try to eat him. he may be 2, but he's bigger than you, and he bites harder. i found that out for her, don't think nick has tried to bite suri at all. lots of hissing ensued the first few weeks. now they can sit on the same bed for a few minutes without suri hissing at him (note: i said, "for a few minutes" and i mean that--suri does not like having a roommate at the moment!). but, for having a new kitty at home, the two of them are getting along fairly well. nick follows suri everywhere; suri usually doesn't chase nick back. she's starting to chase him, though, a little... it will take a few months. i will post some pics of nick and (maybe!) nick and suri soon so everyone may meet him--he's a little stinker and she's a drama queen. fits, doesn't it? :) wouldn't have it any other way...

Am I a yoke-fellow with my Lord?

I was reading Chambers My Utmost for His Highest this morning. He is incredibly quotable! A few things jumped out and slapped me for the better...

"Many today are spending and being spent in work for Jesus Christ, but they do not walk with Him. The one thing God keeps us to steadily is that we may be one with Jesus Christ."

"Never try to live the life with God on any other line than God's line, and that line is absolute devotion to Him."

"The certainty that I do not know--that is the secret of going with Jesus."

"Our Lord wants us to be yoke-fellows with Him."

Do I know what it means, truly, to be a yoke-fellow with my Savior?

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30
