Paano Ko Sasabihin?

I remember my blog about conversation with one of our pastors in church. Paano mo nga ba sasabihin...how do you say no to an invitation from a guy you don't feel like going out with?

A friend jokingly suggested: sabihin mo hindi ako pwede forever!!!

But you can't say that outright diba?

I thought...

Una, give him a chance (I'm talking about single adults here and to a believer only)
Pangalawa, kung hindi mo kaya yung #1, e di huwag.
Pangatlo, if you gave him a chance at hindi mo kaya talaga, good! Say thank you and goodbye.
Pang-apat, if you gave him a chance at mukhang okay, carry on.

So, how to say no? The only rule is love. Say it gently and with respect to a brother-in-Christ. Whatever we do, do it all for the glory of God. Yes, even in saying no. We, women, need all the grace from God to do this.

Now, paano ko nasabi na 'busy ako forever?' PM me, I will tell you. :)
