Feb. 11, 2009 - Don't Say Goodbye. <3
It's been a really long time since I've written a good long blog. I honestly haven't had reason to, & the main point of my blogs were to help me process my emotions & record important times in my life. The main thing I wanted to focus on this entry were my friends.
This last year has had a lot of change & most of it makes me very sad. 3 Some of you may remember my friend Shelby whom I had mentioned in my previous entries. Over the year, she struggled with losing her dad, having to live with her mom and step-dad in a not so good living situation, & also suffered from an abusive boyfriend. Shelby was what I might call a on-and-off Christian. She went to youth group occasionally, only turned to God during the hard times, & respected other believers. But something changed in her after her dad died. She went from boyfriend to boyfriend, she stopped coming to youth group, lost her virginity, she had nothing to do with her Christian friends, started using rougher language, ETC. I was worried about her... through out this last year I've been there for her, connected with some of her good friends, prayed for her, & tried to get her to come back to youth group. It would work for a little while, but then something would happen or she got a new boyfriend and I was back to square 1. I honestly can't say it's been easy to be a friend to someone like that, & it's really hard for me to continue to watch her make the same mistake... no matter how hard I try to help her. 3
Right now, I'm also dealing with several friends who are in the same situation or are slowly drifting away from God & are considering giving up on Christianity. Or there is the group who are cutting... Or there is the group who is being dramatic at the moment. Pick your poison... Dx
I feel so alone in my choice to follow, & stick with my relationship with Jesus Christ. =/ I need huggles... which i know i'll be getting sometime. <33 If anyone happens to read this, keep me in prayer. =]
