it also reminded me that we maybe limited in conversations, ministry, sight and touch... but, as we leave A.V. and especially VCC we are still "members" abroad.
dave mentioned that a "colony" represented the roman empire, citizenship, and if anything bad happened, any emergencies were needed... you could call up rome and they would come to rescue.
so as i stood at the back of VCC and wrote our a prayer request for the prayer team/email list... i knew that no matter were we may be... we can always communicate back to our "rome" for help... spiritual, emotional, and probably physically also in the coming months/years.
not to the exclusion of other churches... but valley is a special church for us... and we hope that we are (were) special to valley also. it's good to know that you have a spiritual kingdom to call upon... and it is good to know that part of this kingdom is a physical one that is symbolically "VCC" (valley christian church)... to us.
so, it becomes important to us to cling to this relationship... i am sure that we will find a couple churches to "regularly attend"... but i am not sure when the moment will come to transfer a real membership (commitment to serve and be around) to any churches....
seeing that our "roles" in the kingdom are a'changin...
i am glad we have a "name" and can represent Jesus and also Valley wherever we find ourselves.

yep.
