Hi Bamagirl22....I can't say I have any real ideas on what to say to do besides praying, but never be discouraged from trying to help others where or when you feel you can. It is a blessing to have friends and it is an even bigger blessing to BE a friend to someone. I don't quite understand the whole of your situation, but I am sure that since you went into everything with only the best intentions of "protecting" and helping your friend, that even though it may not have turned out the way you had hoped, you should still feel good about yourself for trying. Maybe in time your friend will come to realize this as well, do please keep praying and know that I will as well! God Bless you for being so willing to be all you could be for your friend.

JOY

J=Jesus
O=Others
Y=Yourself

Sounds like you have put things in order.....keep your spirits up, things will feel better a day at a time.

Like nanabean says, being a friend for someone is even a better blessing. I live in another country now away from my friends, and I still don't feel like I have any good friends here. Untill I realised that perhaps I should focuse more on being a good friend than looking for some friends. This is also a way to getting more good friends, by being one ourselves.

You sound like a very great girl, and you shouldn't give up nor feeling too discouraged. If you help others, and they might seem taking it for granted, then this is their problem, not yours. You did it out from a good heart, something that only God sees in the hidden. And now good deeds that aren't always seen by others, are always seen by God, and He rewards this. :)

Sooner or later you might win many good friends, just because you started with being one and continued being that friend. Just know that God sees you, and I am sure that He is proud about you too! God Keep Blessing You!

Hi Bamagirl22!

And may I truly say "Roll Tahd" (cough cough) Time to be serious, without getting too personal, what can you add to your story so we can understand a little bit clearer? I'm certain there is a proper answer...God Bless..

sometimes it doesn't make sense now but it may later, protecting others, they dont' always want it or like it, i know crazy right.

But sometimes by protecting them you are intervening into the process they may have to go through to get to where they need to be in life.

don't kill yourself and waste your energy on something that is not receiving what you have and want to give, unless there is no way for you to get out of it.

protect yourself first.

and know that you may have a good heart, and love God, but that does't mean the other will understand or care.
