Little cat of horrors 2.0

After my first kitty Honey passed away, I was keen not to get another kitty.  Ginger, his brother, however soon let me know that the house was too quiet and that he was lonely.  It was against my better judgement that I relented and went to a shelter to look for a little friend for him. My theory was that a young girl kitty would be less intimidating for him than another male cat. I laid eyes on Topaz and loved her instantly. 

Well Topaz had no intention whatsoever of ever being 'less intimidating' to Ginger. She saw a great big play mate and just wanted to attack and pounce at every opportunity. It was her night time antics though that earned her the nickname, "Little cat of horrors" and even had her own theme song to the rocky horror picture show tune. The poor little thing would run around the room and bash into a wall when she was tired, but over excited. She has never outgrown the nickname but the behavior has matured to biting and mauling me when I try to give her medicine.

That has me wondering, how often as Christians we run around bashing our heads into spiritual walls, all because we burn ourselves out, or we kick and scream to God when he brings changes in our lives that are for our good, but we just don't recognize it.  

Part of spiritual growth is learning to, 'be still and know that He is God!'. When chaos reigns and we find it hard to see through the smog of life, learning to look to the light of God in difficult times, will bring us closer to His presence, His Glory, His guidance and His Grace. 

So don't be a little cat of horrors, give God time and space to work in your life for your good and His Glory!
