Assumption 101

Hmmm, so I hv an issue with people and how they think. I totally understand I don't have to pay people any attention but it annoys me that when people do not take take to get to know me they assume the worst. I had to spend the night with a friemd recently after church. I waited for a specific church friend to drop me off, before he could come outside of church another member offered  to drop me off. He said that him and his wife lived close to the near where I was going. Since they offered I accepted the ride they offered. He said "We can drop you off as soon as my wife walk out." He said. We waited for her to get out and I called my friend to let him know who would be dropping me off. He said "Ok, no problem" As soon as she got out her husband let her know that they would be dropping me off. The was pleasant but long because they lived west and we were east. Towards the end of the ride the wife turned to me as we exchanged pleasantries and asked me if I had enjoyed the service and I nodded I did enoy the amazing service that the church had. It was actually revival on a Friday evening. As we rounded the corner to get to his house the wife also asked if I got the message that the Evangelist was deliving I nodded yes and spoke and the words "yes". The wife simply replied "So you know that if God comes back tonight, he wouldn't take you right? I tried to disagree with few words. She repeated again, "You know if God comes back tonight he won't take you." Honestly, I didn't wanna argue nor seem disrespectful so I just said "ok" and shook my head as they pulled up to to my friends house. I thanked them as I got out. I ended up telling my friend what the church member had said to me mostly because I had never spoken to the woman or her husband so I could believe that she would think of me in such a bad way. I never spoke of it again. The next day my friend got me a ride back on the eastside we didnt speak on what the lady to me but one day he called me out of blue to tell me that he and the church lady had a discussion about the night that I spent the night at his place and he had to correct her because she said the exact same thing to him. He corrected her and explained the details of my spending the night with him. I havent seen the lady since but I had another church member try to tell mw that I should have explainex to her fully the circumstances of that night. Then she wanted to apologize for assuming the worst of me when she didn't know me nor and just assumed the worst in me. Im not a bad gal, nor do I try to do anything vad. Im not percect Im just a work in progress.
