Running From God Because of Man Made Rules

I never told you a guy had to call me before you could go on a date with him. If he's a decent guy, I trust you. So my parents initial rule was made out of love and care and wisdom. But I took their initial rule and created extra rules for myself. Ones my parents never even gave me. Do you see how ridiculous this is? It's as ridiculous as me handing a guy a business card as my dad told me to do that when he never did. He had given me this wisdom, I took it, expanded on it, living in fear instead of trust and ended up making a fool of myself. Thank heavens that I met Josh five years later
