So, I'm not perfect. Please don't think I am. If you are reading this you know me and you know I'm not, no one is. Yesterday on our way back from lunch some of the counselors and I were talking. They've decided that I should have a husband as well, since they know that I would eventually love to get married and have kiddos. It's been funny hearing them give me advice on how to find a husband. It truly is hysterical at some points.
A few days ago I had mentioned that I would really like to marry someone who was church of Christ or Baptist. It's not like I'm telling people no. No one is asking. :o)
Anywho, we were walking back from lunch and another counselor (not the one who,is a minister's wife) said something shocking. Well, I know she didn't mean it in a rude way, but it really bothered me. I mentioned that the only big difference between the two demoninations was the a capella music. I don't think piano music is the difference between going to heaven or not. That's crazy. She proceeded to tell me that my church was stupid because of that, and insinuated that only dating people that believe the same thing I do is risky and I may not get married.
Again, it sounds rude and that's not the exact thing she said, but it was implied. I was speechless. Really. I can find things to say about anything and everything but couldn't find the words. I finally tried to explain why we don't have instrumental music and how it's actually pretty but I gave up. And, if God doesn't send me a husband then I have to deal with that. But, I shouldn't put myself in a dating situation where I date someone who has totally different beliefs that I do. God's supposed to be the center of our lives, single or married...and if two people have really conflicting views I'm not sure how they do it.
So, again, I guess I'm not really upset as much as I was surprised that someone in my profession speaking before thinking it through. I know I have before and now I'm more sorry than ever that I do.
In short...my bad if I have ever done this to you...please forgive me!!
