The Simpler The Better

R.L.: (knocking the library door) "Nadia?"
Me: (getting up from my seat to reply to my pastor) "Yes, "pastor""
R.L. walked inside and saw us were having dinner. Delicious salmon fried rice that God has given me to cook and enjoy today together with my beloved one.
R. L: "Oh, you guys are having dinner. You cooked? (with smiling at me)
Me: "Yea (shy). Just some left over" (inside of me saying, "WHAT????????????? IT WAS NOT LEFT OVER FOOD!!!! YOU ARE LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @_@ Tho I was just using any ingredient left at home.)
R.L.: "Anything for me?"
Me: (confused and feeling kinda guilty for no reason) "Hm...mau ya? hm... I can cook for you if it pleases you" (inside me saying "GRRRRRRR!!! WHAT IS THAT?? PLEASING YOU????)
I felt like I wanted to hit my own mouth that time because feeling embarrassed)
R.L.: "Oh no. I am just here to get some water and meeting someone in the sanctuary. I am not actually planning to come here."

Me (1): "I am so sinful, embarrassed with my sin. Why can I control my tongue?"
Me (2): "Next time just need to answer with simple word, "Yes" and "No" in this situation will be sufficient enough. No need to try to be acting "friendly" by saying words that you don't mean."

ME: God, please forgive me, a sinner with unclean lips. I can't control myself, but my LORD will always be in control. Please lead me in your truth. In Jesus' name, Amen!
