The lie.
So I was sitting by the hot tub, no big deal, right? Wrong!
I told my class we will spend the last 5 minutes in the hot tub, so, we did.
I chose a spot farthest away from the notorious man, the man who has asked every other swimminstructor, to go on a date with him.
He walked around the hot tub.
NM: can I sit here?
My backbone, utterly fails me.
ME: yeah, okay.
N: yeah, you know my last three girlfriends dumped me, yeah and for an older guy too.
(Quietly): no! Really?
N: yeah, you got a boyfriend?
" No, I don’t date, in fact I’m getting married. (Big, fat lie!)
N: really, your married, you got a ring? He takes my hand, looks for a ring, I pull away as quick as I can
" Oh no, I’m engaged (bigger lie) I just can’t wear my ring in the pool I’ll loose it." (That part was true, in fact I don’t wear any jewelry in the pool.)
N: ah, what’s his religion?
I’m thinking, the guy wants to know his religion.
" Oh, he’s a Christian." (Not a lie any man I marry will be a Christian.)
N: I see, but like what’s his nationality?
" Um, Dutch, yeah." (Might be a lie, I don’t know.)
N: oh, so he’s white.
" Yeah, real white, white blond you know." (Probably a lie.) Unlike you buddy your brown as a pancake (nothing against darker skinned people)
N: yeah, my girlfriend is brown, real brown.
" Really? I’m glad for you."
N: so, were does your Feanc`e live?
" Um, Calgary." (Once again probably not true.)
N: what does he do for a living?
I’m thinking why does this guy keep asking questions?
" Oh he’s a farmer, well he was a farmer, now he builds houses, for a living." (Big lie!)
N: So are you gonna move to Calgary, or is he gonna come hear. (He wiggles his eyebrows)
" Oh, he has a contract to build houses in (think, think!) Grand Prairie." (Why on earth, did I say Grand Prairie?)
N: Ah, so how old are you?
Why do you want to know!
" I’m 21." (Another lie, big one)
N: Ho, you’re still a kid, still in school. Bet your mom doesn’t like that, Hmm?
" Oh, it doesn’t bug her." (Might be true)
N: oh, well I bet your dad’s not happy then.
I wouldn’t know! He’s dead!
" No, he’s really happy, he really likes the guy I’m marrying." (Woo thea you’ve dug yourself a deep hole!)
N: really? Oh. Well want to go on a date?
" No thanks."
N: well than how about a rain check?
There is no way I am going out with you buddy!
" No. My Feanc`e wouldn’t like it."
N: you sure? Cause I’ve got a lot to offer!
Yeah buddy sure you do LOL
" No sorry (I wasn’t really sorry) I got to go. Bye!" (Bye I hope I never see your face again!"
A true tale of a backbone that needs rescuing!
( and yes i knowi should have just walked away at the very beggining!)

some creapy guy didnt he get the answer at the beginning. got to go see yeah :hotguy chris: p.s. brother of synthea and sophia.
Yikes! What a situation! I think the Lord sets these people before us to test our faith and character. Lying is dishonoring to Him, but going back to the guy and confessing your sin and asking forgiveness would mend it. He'll probably think you're a weirdo, but who are we to fear more? God or man?
As hard as that would be, if he knows you're a Christian and finds out you lied to him, it will only be more shameful.
I feel for you though! I wasn't allowed to date either and I had a few moments like yours. I didn't want to get involved with anyone, especially an unbeliever, but I didn't want them to think I was from another planet either. Just don't sell yourself short! You know, RARE is the virtuous girl these days! Don't forget that you are PRIZED in the Lord's eyes and your purity is nothing to be ashamed of. If you ever find yourself in this predicament again, you could always say, "I don't need a boyfriend, my heart belongs to a man. One of these days he'll show up, and then I'll be so glad that I was faithful to him and didn't waste any thoughts on you!" ;)
Tisk, tisk. Lying! lol. Sorry to hear you had to go through that.
yes i know i shouldn't have lied, but the lie was part of the reason i posted.
i need help, i don't lie often, according to the world, but i do lie. somewould say i couldn't help myself, but i can! so please pray that God would give me the willpower, to refuse the temptation to lie.

That's what I'd advise too--walking away. I'll pray for you; that sounds like a really tough situation!!
This raises a very interesting and much debated issue. In the scripture, was there EVER a case where God commended someone for doing that which was contrary to His nature?
I believe that David deceived the Philistines by his act, but the scripture doesn't say that he outright lied. He behaved as a crazy person would have and let people draw their own conclusions.
No doubt the line is a fine one, but let us not do evil that good may come!
This brings up a much debated subject. Was there *ever* a case in scripture where one was actually commended by God for doing something contrary to His nature? He states that liars will have their place in the lake of fire and that Satan is the father of all lies. Do we serve an inconsistent God?
The line is no doubt a fine one, but let us never do evil that good may come!
Haha! Sorry for the repetition! I thought the first one got lost and then I couldn't remember what I had said. Ooopsie! :)
thank you anonymous, and how did you find my blog Heebeejeebew?
interesting....
Hmmmmm....
thea
oh yes and heebeejeebew, as a rule i do not date :P
actually you could say that all my friends don't date either, you see we all court, meaning suppervised outings, and no touching, at least thats what i say courting is. Others are slightly more liberal in thier courting, but only slightly :-)
does that make sence?
thea
Man, I got into an argument over that whole lying thing just a little while ago. Hey I'm doing courtship too but only once I'm ready to get married. Anyways... Thea you should get a tag board.

thea
