There hasn't been a day I haven't been abundantly blessed by the kind and helpful folks represented here. It is truly a home of love and learning.
I hope I haven't given Satellites a bad name ;D.
Could there be a more beautiful expression of God's magnificent handiwork? We spent Saturday picking blueberries right up against the backdrop of Mt. Si in North Bend. A perfect day and a peaceful place to reflect on the greatness of God.
Good to have you here.
Blessings my new brother/sister?

Hi Janine,

Thank you. Wow, there are already people from Seattle answering me. I live in Bellevue. I was gone for ten years and moved back in January. I did not get to find any strawberries, and so far, the farm fresh blueberries were not sweet yet. Anyway, I have found that patience in finding solid Christians works, because I hope everyone here is like I am, a true Christian. I have not found it here in WA, even in what is referred to as "house churches".  I am not able to find true fellowship yet, but God will work it out.

Sincere Christian:
Yes, and I prayerfully made an exception, and sought out some churches here near Seattle. God showed me to even stay away from house churches, due to the fact that they treated me far worse than standard churches. Looking back on my life, it is clear, that I have grown much more deeply, when not "in a church" than in one.

Moving back here, plus having a temporary disability, plus being engaged, I believed that it was necessary to form some new friendships here.

Everything followed the same pattern. I carefully spoke to leaders, and at first, they were nice and sweet, and gave me all kinds of promises, etc. Then, over time, once they could see my love for God, and for souls, and the inner peace and relationship with Jesus, they became either very indifferent and avoided me, or in some cases, filled with venom and immense cruelty.

This was a great blow to me, as I love Bellevue, and Seattle so much. The churches I chose were all much better than most, but, in reality, were all the same.

When a Christian is treated vastly better by worldly people, who do not know Jesus, than the "Church", it is so grievous.


More another time,  :)
