just made brownies. if im not up to going i guess i can send them along :) i feel very tired.
but honestly its not a matter of the church in itself. its a problem of certain people trying to control me....

Well I hope you ate yourself one of those. You deserve it. That was super nice of you when you didn't have to/shouldn't have been signed up.

@lilygrace sounds like a kind person...

The second commandment says to love others as yourself. Matthew 22:39. You first got to love yourself to love others effectively in the same way. Let the woman have a brownie. She is a super nice person after all. ^_^

And it is perfectly okay to set boundaries by saying no...they should have asked you first.

a family member signed me up to make something for a church lunch i dont feel like it and i dont know if i want to go to the lunch. i ddint know they were going to do that. i have schoolwork :(
would it be rude to cancel? the church staff thinks it was me since my information was used.
Never be afraid to say no @lilygrace especially since it wasn't you who signed up for this. Pass it back to the person who landed you in it and let them make it. if you don't feel 'right' about it don't do it.
