Thought - 1/12/2008 - Saturday

So Alvina/Janice want to hang out with us on Monday, Feb 18th, which is Washington's birthday.
She said that we would be cooking stuff and watching a movie at her house and just hanging out.

I'm kinda troubled and have conflicting feelings inside. Actually, i'm very troubled about this.
Here is why:

1. Why are we hanging out?
• Sure u can argue that "theres nothing wrong with just hanging out with friends" but if u dont lie to urself and look at it, its pretty much a date. its like a halfassed date
2. Is this really glorifying to God?
• Are our intentions pure? do we wanna hang out just for fun and enjoyment, or are we really there to get to know them better and to keep ourselves and them pure for marriage?
3. If we havn't asked their parents to date them yet, should we really keep doing these halfassed dates?
• It is not really honoring to their parents if we disreguard them and continue to halfass date their daughters.
4. Are we ready to date them?
• Instead of doing devotions, we waste 3 hours trying to fill a co2 tank and talk about alcohol. we arent ready.

Im asking these questions to myself and im trying not to lie to myself. i duno wat to do.
i mean, i really wanna hang out with alvina and all, but i dont think its good for our relationship.
Same with u/janice. Keep praying about it.
stay pure.
