Ever been forced to choose??My testimony..............

[warthog]

Yesterday,an aquaintance of mine and me parted ways,and I will tell you why::This person kept pushing me about where I am going to be for the holidays,and I have explained numerous times,Christmas in my home church,and with my family is #1and #2 for me....Besides that,after all I have been through this year,I just didn't want the hubbub of having to meet a large,extended family.....................Just keep it my church,and my family..............Last night;this person forced me into a choice,and I stood my ground,because we all know,where this challenge originated,when it comes to standing up for what's right........She told me,good and loud:"ANY MAN THAT I AM WITH IS EXPECTED TO-AND WILL-Make ME #1 priority over his family,and church".....so,I said back,good and loud-"LISTEN,YOU-there is not ONE PERSON ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH THAT WILL TAKE PRIORITY OVER MY CHURCH,AND DONT EVER FORGET IT".I forgot to mention my family to her also,but I was HOT......,..................I then told her that she lost in the choice;and as I stood up to leave,she said something to the effect about meaning we could balance it out,but I told her"I know what I heard",and I left.I sent her a letter this morning,telling her to have a good life,and there is no sense discussing this issue.......This whole thing reminds me of Jesus being tempted by the devil,and what Jesus said,and did............HE stood up for what he believed in,and so did I.........................................................

Some women have snakes in their heads. (No offense to the GOOD ones here, though). I hope things work out for you!

Yes ...... Welcome Ray S ECenFL and do post again. Steve, I've been where you are and have had to made similar decisions. I've found that allowing God His rightful place in my life puts everything else in its proper order as well. Sometimes it isn't easy but God never said it would be, for those who follow Him.
