Situation.

It seems in the media and and all around us we are bombarded with wrong choices. I recently made a concious decision after seeing some disturbing things on the news that I would be one of the strong ones, that I would never give in to anything that would jeopardize my family or my eternal salvation. I recently experienced (actually this morning) an awkward situation where an aquaintenance of mine was making a grave mistake. I just felt it. I work at a hotel, and apparently this person didn't know I worked here. She has a family, two cute children, and a husband. This evening I had a very late check in and he said that his friend would be coming by in a little while. It was almost 2 a.m. and I felt annoyed waiting at the front desk for this "friend" because I had to let her in and I had work I had to do. Suddenly I heard someone coming to the door which I assumed right away was the "friend" of my late check in.....Well, it was. She was surprised to see me, and said "I didn't know you worked here...." as she blushed. I asked if she was here to see "blank"(won't say his name) and she said yes. The conversation was very awkward and I then gave her the room number of the man she was here to see. After she left my presence, I felt intense sadness and started to pray. I prayed she would come out of that room. I prayed that she would feel a prompting to leave, so I could talk her out of something wrong. I AM still praying. I wish I would have tried to sway her from going in the room, but I didn't know what to say to her. Why do I feel so sad for her? I don't feel judgemental toward her or angry, I just feel sad for her, and her family. I am still hoping she comes out. It is now 3a.m. and I am hoping she will come walking out, and I will try to talk to her as a friend or sister. I wish I would have said something that could have deterred her from going in that room.....I guess this is a lesson learned for me. Maybe I need to be more in tune with the spirit, and maybe I will know what to say in situations like this. Maybe in a situation like this some people have already made up their minds to do the wrong thing, and they may not care, but maybe, just maybe, they need to hear a voice of discernment in order to make the final decision. I am hoping my presence alone, was enough to make her stop and think before she acts, but I don't think so. I could never do that. The lines of right and wrong are black and white. When we start to blur the lines into grays...that is where the danger lies.
