still praying...
ok so i've really been praying for a girl i knew about a year back. i treated her really wrongly at times, and just recently received her forgiveness for that. that was strange in itself, because i had all but forgotten about her and was driving in my car one day (headed for church) i don't remember exactly what i was thinking about but i was something along the lines of, wow... i'm really not so bad as a lot of my friends are with backstabbing, gossiping, and being a jerk to people... i'm doing really good in my spiritual life. big prideful moment, not good... but right about there i got smacked in the face with memories of the way i treated this particular girl, i was like... dang, crap, darn it. i suck, sorry god... i realized that i really needed to apologize to her, so that night i wrote her a letter on facebook, it was a really hard thing... because i knew i was a complete jerk to her. but the next day i was shocked at her response... she totally forgave me and even apologized for some things she'd done to me (it was a really hateful relationship sometimes) ... craziness, but anyway right after that came dare to share... if you're not familiar with it it's a conference where they challenge you to share your faith with your non believer friends... sadly enough, i don't really have any close friends at all that are unbelievers. so when they told us to think or people to call, the people i wrote down weren't people i was close enough to to call. but i figured i could pray for them... and do everything i could to get to know them better ( they were people that i really just felt that the lord was laying on my heart) this particular girl was one of them. another fact i neglected to mention is that she became pregnant shortly after i saw her last (she's like 6 months along now) she's wasn't married, wasn't engaged, and i knew her record of promiscuity (8 plus guys) ... i have been praying for her everyday though... just that god would turn her life around toward him. in the early stages of our relationship we were friends... and i was trying to witness to her... that turned out just great *rolling eyes* i turned in to a total hypocrite in her life (at least in my eyes) we kind of kept the facade of friendship, but we were fooling no one, she back-stabbed me, and i back-stabbed her right back... anyway to get on with the story. i've been praying, and the past week i saw a status that said "so we went to church, and all she did was kick kick kick to the point where i wanted to pass out! today has been such a great day though :)" and another one that said something along the lines of "So excited to go to church!!!" so... i'm pretty pumped to see that. and then today she got engaged to the father of her baby! ... so i'm just praying that that relationship works well, and that she finds the most legit thing ever... Jesus!... so... ya i got a little excited, but i think maybe god's starting to answer my prayers for her!... pray for her if you think of it.
