"oh wow, I didn' t know there was a house church in Visalia! That would have been neat to check out, though still a little bit far for us to drive. At this point, we will just wait to find one in Phoenix, as we are moving back there…"

Would you be interested in visiting my friends' house church in Visalia? It's about 40 minutes from you. Let me know and I'll send you the details. I live on the coast about 4 hours from you. God bless you!"

- Thank you- very stressed with the church situation- and paranoid because people have made claims about us to the elders but they want to remain anonymous so we have no idea who is saying these things. on the other hand, my new health coach business is taking off and that keeps me going! along with God's strength of course- he is so faithful and is really what keeps us all going every day!!

Jim London said… Kellie, thank you for sharing your dilemma with us. I'd like to offer some thoughts to you and your husband:
1) Please don't allow yourselves to feel shame about having made a vocational decision and then finding that it's not for you. Rather, if you have certainty that you're in the wrong place, let this be a time, not so much for hiding, but for seeking God more fully for Himself. Often when we're in a tough spot, our strongest impulse is to beg for remedy. Let God have pre-eminence these days. Yearn for Him. Discover what He wants of your heart, rather than only what you want of Him. Sister (and hubby), if panic is the mode you embrace, then the voice of panic will obscure the voice of God and you might find yourselves in a place no better, and perhaps worse, than you are in now.
2) Continue to love the people in your life, even to grow in your love for them -- yes the people in your fellowship. They aren't the problem, and they are the beloved of God. Stay with Him in His love for them. You don't need to retreat. Embrace. They are God's people no matter what the format of the community life!
3) Seek some reasonably mature partners who will walk with you in seeking God with you, not just to give you 20 minutes of advice. The evil one will seek to exploit your vulnerability and isolation. Try to find some who know God and ask for commitment from them for this season. This is the time to discover the treasures of being in "one-another" relationships!
Blessings upon you. This is but a chapter in your young lives.

Jo Lynne Deaver left a comment for Loretta Rodrigues"Loretta,
Thanks for sharing. I have been a Christian since 1985. I guess that would be 27 years. About a year and a half ago I started questioning why I believed some of things I had been taught. In the last 6 months or so I also have read…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"I had hoped what I said made sense. Sometimes I don't articulate what I'm trying to communicate. Nothing is to be construed as to limit what the Holy Spirit can and will do since he is like the wind. It is not for us to always understand…"
Loretta Rodrigues left a comment for Jo Lynne Deaver"Hi Jo Lynne, Thanks for your warm welcome. I've been a Christian ( I was raised a catholic ) for the last 7-8 years and attended a NT (Pastor led) church for about a year. My husband is an unbeliever and rabidly so! He…"

Jo Lynne Deaver replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"Jonathon,
Thanks for your reply. You are an encouraging and confirming voice. What you said was very much needed. I too had been told in the past that a person could be "so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.' But that…"
Jonathon Baer replied to Jo Lynne Deaver's discussion Don't Limit Opportunities"To address your first paragraph: I, too, have been somewhat dismayed to see very little activity and interaction with this excellent medium. Kenny put a lot into this and it is a shame it isn't maximized.
Second paragraph: Simply: Be ready,…"
