at small group the other night, I discovered as soon as I opened up the sharing time that I had made a huge mistake... The intro to this discovery was an explosion of giggles by two of my girls huddled in a corner of the couch, and the following declaration in a singsong voice: "Delice is gettin' marriiiiied!!" followed by more overflowing giggles.
after a brief moment of baffled laughter, the reason for this ridiculous statement became clear: they had seen me hanging out with a male R.A. at my house... and then the news of our walk together in the forest (COMPLETELY non-romantic) must have been reported by one of their dads who passed us on a jog.
the huge mistake I made was to hang out intentionally with such a public figure of a young adult male in this tiny community. I was completely unable to get myself out of this mess for a solid TEN MINUTE chunk of precious small group time, and after red-faced explanations and defenses and after they had squeezed ONE thing I am attracted to about this particular guy, I stolidly turned the focus away from this all, glanced at the clock and exclaimed: "AH! no more time!!" to which my little brit Ami quipped: "I know!! We spent the whole time talking about your impending marriage!"
the mischievous clan huddled in our weekly "I-don't-want-to-go-yet!!" time!
