Topic: Red (10/01/09)
when I first became a born again christian the Lord told me to go shopping and buy a dress! I never used to go clothes shopping, I would always get clothes handed down to me or buy them secound hand at a secound hand shop. I was intreiged that God would take me to a clothes shop. I found a red dress that I knew was the one that the Lord wanted me to buy. I tried it on and it looked real good. I bought it and walked out of the shop real happy. I told a friend that I went shopping and I told her of the experience of shopping with the Lord and she asked WHY?. I didn't understand at the time that the Lord simply wanted to bless me, so I thought up a reason of my own to explain why I had to get a red dress. Things turned ugly after that but I look back now and have much more understanding. I looked real good in my red dress and it made me feel powerful and confident.

Facinating...
I'm interested to know why you think God wanted you to have a dress and why things turned out the way they did. A little more information would help the reader.
I like your title. Keep writing.

Isn't it fun when the Lord tells us to do something nice like that?

I'd encourage you to do more careful proofreading; you had several spelling and capitalization errors.

And definitely KEEP WRITING and learning from the others on this site!
