Sister Abbott sent this meme out to us LPC Ladies last week and I can definitely relate!!! It reminds me of the first time I remember telling an outright lie… I mean I may have lied 🤥 earlier in my life, I just don’t specifically remember it!!!
.
I was about 12-14 years old and there was this guy in our church ⛪️ who looking back now was really just a teenager himself, he was sauve and smooth and stylish a charmer and a flirt!!! ANNNNNND ALLL THE GIRLS LIKED HIM… including ME!!!
.
BUUUUUUUT I neverrrrrr dared to talk about this guy to anyone everrrrr because MY MOM DID NOT LIKE HIM and I could NOT RISK her finding out about my crush!!! And when I say she did not like him, that’s SAYING IT NICELY!!!! She referred to him as THE SNAKE 🐍!!!
.
Weeeeeeelllll one day she was ranting and raving about him, waving her arms and saying he is sooooo inappropriate with girls and he’s sneaky and she just doesn’t understand what girls see in him!!! Then she turns to me and says ad an after thought, YOU DONT LIKE HIM DO YOU??? Without a moments hesitation, I vehemently said NOOOOOOO!!!!
.
Well you guys have no idea how guilty I immediately felt about my answer!!! I had OUTRIGHT LIEC TO HER!!!! I was officially a SINNER!!! If Jesus came back that very moment, I was NOT GOING!!!!
.
you’re thinking in your head, just tell your mom THE TRUTH AND REPENT!!! Buuuuuuuuut I could NOT TELL HER I LIKED HIM!!! My mom absolutely abhorred him and she believed in me that I was NOT STUPID like every other girl at our church ⛪️ buuuuuuuut I WAS!!!
.
My mom was a very discerning person and she could tell when someone was not right and she would not keep her mouth shut about it either!!! It got her into a lot of trouble, buuuuuuuut in THE END she was always right!!! There have only been two guys in my life that I dated not to tell her about and she was RIGHT ABOUT BOTH OF THEM!!!!
.
Now here I was, living in a sinful state as a LIAR 🤥 and Jesus might come back today and I would not go if he did!!! Days passed by and the guilt weighed on me soooooo heavily!!!
.
Finally I came up with an idea, I would confess to my mom that I HAD LIED, buuuuuuuut I confess to her WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING 💤!!!!
.
And sooooooo that’s exactly what I did!!! I went to her while she was napping 💤 one day and verrrrrrry softly whispered to her, I LIED!!!
.
Then I ran out of the room, repented of my sin and 😅 YOU CAN COME BACK NOW JESUS!!!
I’m READY!!!
