Hi everyone, thanks for your support!
I've been having serious issues with dealing with people I knew (were my friends) prior to my conversion. One of my old friends is a cousin and there's hardly any way to completely avoid him... As a matter of fact, I don't want to avoid anybody, I don't think that's a good thing and I wish I could just live freely, without worrying so much about this, but I have serious issues speaking to my old friends and I fear being dragged away from the Lord.
Has anybody faced such issues? Does anybody have a tip on how to overcome this particular fear? What do you think about avoiding people - is that cool? How do you yourselves deal with your old, "worldly" friends? (You who have accepted Christ in a later time in your life).
Thanks for reading and for every word you can possibly share with me... I hope I can see things in a clearer way through your responses... God bless you all!
