For some reason I was thinking about how comfortable I've become with my cat versus how I felt about her when I first got her. When I first got her, we were both unsure about each other. I'd be watching tv or reading but I always wanted to know where she was or what she was doing, and she was more or less the same way. She was weary of me and I her. Now we aren't really interested in what the other is doing unless we might want to join in. Although, sometimes she follows me around - always has to be in the same room as me. But then I was thinking about how before I got her I didn't think I really needed a cat. I would play with the idea of getting a cat or dog, but never really wanted to commit to the idea. Then Dane and Lindsey needed to get rid of her and since I had been thinking about getting a cat, said I'd take her. If it didn't work out I could always take her to the pound... But now if I were to have to get rid of her I'd be lonely. I miss her when I'm away from her for too long. Like when I went to Hawaii she was the one back home I missed the most. I think she's a good part of my emotional stability these past 7? months....or more stable than I've been in the past.
It's funny how sometimes when I think about my relationship with Fable I compare it to God. Sometimes she's in God's role and sometimes I am. She likes to be near me - just I should be towards God- just as God is to me. Sometimes she feels insecure and if I stop petting her she gets upset and I know there have been times where I've felt like that with God. God "takes His hand off to change the page in His book" and I look at Him like "Lord, what is wrong?". At the beginning of our relationship with Him, we know we need Him, but the more we get to know Him and become dependent on Him the more we realize how much we NEED Him. We rely on Him, and get worried when it seems like He won't be there for us, but unlike myself or a cat, HE will always be there. Yes, I know bad things will still happen. This is a fallen world we live in, God is good and all things work to His glory, which is what we are here for anyway - glorifying Him.
