Prom

Why am I not going to prom???? Hummm???? Well I am taking a stand in what I believe in!!! I am a Christian, I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and realize that he is the only way we can get to heaven. I also try to obey all his commands and I follow the bible.

The bible talks about how we as Christians should not conform to the ways of this world!!!! What is prom? Prom is something that the world has glorifies for centuries. I thought that the idea of prom and seeing all your friends for the last time is a beautiful idea. But sadly and like always the devil has distorted this celebration and made is bad.

I went to prom two years ago with my x-boyfriend, I saw many girls half naked, drinking, dirty dancing, and I mean like real dirty. It basically looked like sex on a dance floor. Prom has become worldly. Just like I would not go to a club or any school dances, why is prom different?

Before, I always said that Christians need to be lights, and that light is best seen in darkness. Unfortunately that scenario doesn’t work with prom. At prom everyone is blind, and as we all know, blind people can’t see. So my light would make a difference. When I came to that realization, God told me that I need to stop fighting him and just not go.

So, now I am not going. Yes, I do feel left out, but that is a good feeling. I am left out of the devils plan for my life!!!!! YES!!!!

Now I am not saying that everyone who goes to prom is horrible people who are going to hell. I cannot be compared to my fellow class mates because I have allowed God to bring me to levels higher than the rest.

I will never find happiness or joy in what the devil promotes. I will never associate myself with things that Jesus died for. I will never say I am a Christian and act like the people in the world. By me not going to prom, I am standing up and standing out which is exactly what God wants me to do!!!!!!!
