Hey courtney! I know what that's like! it is hard to see your friend like that. maybe she needs some time to herself, or maybe she's ashamed to tell you stuff... I'd say #1 Pray for her that God would give you the opportunity to talk to her. Then #2 make sure she knows you're her friend no matter what she doesnt want to tell you. tell her you might not like whatever it is, but you're still there for her and are still her friend. She may not even know that you'd still be there for her, and like you said, you've been in her position, so you'll know how to help her to not do something she might regret. but dont come on too strong, cuz she may close up over it. and remember, if she does do something she'll regret, it's not your fault, but you can be there to help her through it
Thats all I could think of... I hope you have some ideas
God Bless! |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

courtney, i've been through the exact same situation. my best friend, over three years ago now, was a naive, sweet Christian girl. when we started eighth grade, she went to public school (as was i, but a different one). she immediately changed, for the worse, just as you describe.
but guess what? after three long years of fighting, drama, ups, downs, cold shoulders, and so on...we're patched up again. she went through a stream of bad grades, boyfriends, and just plain lame friends. i'm not sugar coating it for you. but God knew we were meant to be lifelong friends and she wouldn't be gone forever. only through His love did we reconcile with each other and did she forgive herself.
so all that to say, it very well may be months or a few years before your friend gets a knock upside the head and turns to God and you again. all you can do now? pray for her and be there. the mistake i made, also being naive and 13 years old at the time, was freak out on her and do the whole 'REPENT SINNER!!!' act, y'know? just don't, she won't buy it. only God can turn her heart, not you. if He uses you, great. if not, let it go. it'll be hard, but you gotta.
i hope all works out. :] |

Wow, that's great advice emilyjanelle. I don't need it now, but if I do, I'm going to take it!
My advice would be: Read above post again and keep praying. Only God can change people. |
