We pray together at church, email back and forth, txt each other, I ask her all the time how she is doing. She always tells me that she is doing good. Then I find out she has been lying to me and acting like she has overcame her problem and she is still doing what she was doing in secret - not really secret bcause some people knew, but she was keeping it a secret from me. I am so frusturated. I am wasting my time with her, it's one thing if she really wants to change but evidentally she doesn't.

I don't know what to do. Still be her friend and act like I don't know - but quit wasting my time on the counseling or tell her outright that I know and that I am very disappointed. Now I know why the others quit couselling her, I just thought they didn't have enough patience!!! ANy advice?

I understand how you feel. I have a friend that is similar. I wish I had advice to give, but I don't know what to tell you. I just keep praying for my friend, in hopes that the Lord will really get a hold of her and make her realize she needs to make a change.

I would put space between you and I would let her know you know....sis this is not a friend, she is lying to you...you can not trust someone who lies to you...she is making you look foolish and herself a hypocrite. Some people thrive on drama...and use people up....

Well, we have never been close close friends - she a little younger than me and I think she just needed someone to talk to and I wanted to help her......boy was that a mistake!! And yes, I am starting to think that she likes drama!!! I have decided that I am not going to try and help her anymore. I will be nice but I am not going out on a limb for her. She creates her problems, she will have to live with it. I just found out last night that another guy has been doing the same thing. Whining to me and my husband all the time about his problems - wanting attention and to be babies - and then doing things "in the secret" that are not very good things to be doing - it is outright sin. and then wondering why God won't hear his prayers! HELLO!!! Why would God answer your prayers when you are leading a double life and outright sinning??? I just don't get people. I will pray for both of them but I am not playing their little games anymore!

Sis you did the right thing by reaching out...not everyone really truly wants to change or get help, they just want attention...so again you did the right thing...they are just not ready to do what is right, and may never be....I try to put my energy towards people who are willing to do the work. The others are people who suck your energy, and wear on your spirit, and its just as well to stay away from them...like you said be nice, but be busy and don't get pulled into the drama. You have a good heart sis, don't let them spoil that...

Good Thursday morning all....I hope your week is going well, we are having dry weather finally....but its turned to freezing fog in the am....but the SUN comes out later in the day and ohhhhh it feels so good!


Here is a picture of our new bike...oh its so pretty and this pic does not do it justice to the true red....wow...its a beauty and its soooo comfortable

The pictures don't do it justice...the dark red is so deep and the lighter red is vibrant....and its so comfortable, on our other bike I was good for about an hour, and then my hip started hurting, and the longer we rode the more I wanted to stop...until by the end of the day it was just to the point where I wanted to...that is a painful tantrum, not mad!

Here you can see my new seat!!! This bike has a CD player, radio, CB...and cruise control! I don't even no all the features....the saddle bags and trunk have bags with handles so you can pack them and then the slip back into the various compartments, then when you get to your motel you just pull them out! So nice!!! This is the top of the line Harley! If you can't tell I am so jazzed!
