I just  got back from a trip to my in-laws in San Francisco. It was a very difficult time.  They do not understand us, our ways, beliefs, etc and are very vocal about not liking some of the things we do and the way we live. 

Recently, I wrote my sister in NY a letter asking her to please call me back because I am sick of calling her with no response.  She called me, said "hi" and then said, "Sorry, have to go, I'll call you back" and never did. This is the second time this year I heard from her with the same coversation.

One of the reasons, Jewish believers in Y'shua like going to a messianic congregation is for the community.  For us, congregation is not just a place to check in once a week. It is a place to feel validated in our beliefs.  It is more than our congregation, it is our family.

Going out of town and being around unbelievers makes you appreciate it even more!
