I
attend a singles group for people who are 30-39 and Christian. The
men of the group organized a 2-night camping trip and invited us ladies to
join. The cost was only $30 and the men insisted that they would do all
of the cooking during the weekend. We would meet up on Friday around 6
and stay until Sunday afternoon.
I
wanted to go~ and then I prayed about it and GOD said: ”No”. Let me
clarify, GOD did not specifically say NO, and I didn’t receive any scripture or
song lyrics to prevent me from going~ but I had no peace. I felt
tremendous conviction to stay home.
All
of the people who attend this group are Christ following individuals and I am
sure they all have the same relationship with GOD that I do. I don’t
understand why GOD said “no” to me, but said “Yes” to everyone else.
On
a practical level, I suppose being in a group of singles in the middle of the
woods surrounded by tents, pillows and blankets is not the best place for me to
be. I think I could easily find myself in a compromising position and
that would hurt my testimony and devalue my walk with GOD.
On
a more spiritual level, I have asked GOD to open the right doors and close the
wrong ones~ maybe this is his way of closing a door so he can open something
else up?
Only
time will tell..
