A friend who's been on my mind...

[Debitt]

When I first got into the Dragon Knights fandom about a year and a half ago, I joined a DK mailing list and made some really good friends there. And since a couple of weeks ago, I've been greatly concerned about one of them.

This girl, Erin, has gone through a lot of tough times in her life, and she needs the Lord to help her through these times. I'd eagerly talk to her, too, if it were not for some of the things she has said to me.

Apparently she believes very strongly in the Egyptian gods and has a very bad outlook on Christianty, and God in general. She sees insulting the Lord and my beliefs as a way to "offend me", and at this point it seems like she takes pleasure in mocking me when I try to witness to her. But aside from all that, deep down she's still my friend. She was the first person who instant messaged me and said "hi" when I first joined the mailing list. This is the first time God has really put the desire to share Christ with someone in me (I've gone to a small Christian school most of my life), and I don't want to give up on her.

So if you all could, please pray for God to give me patience and undestanding, and to put the willingness to hear the word into my friend's heart. Thanks.

I will pray.

Of course. I can't say I really know anyone who is bent on rejecting God, but then again I don't know many people. I'm finding it hard enough to even witness to my best friend who says he is more then willing to listen to what I have to say so I can't begin to think how things must be for you. Plant the seed. I'll be praying for both you and Erin.

[Spiritsword]

I will pray for you both.

I'll pray, and on a side note, I admire your willingness to maintain your friendship with her and your service to God despite her mocking you. Your friendly love is a great witness in and of itself. I'll pray for you and her!

Can do. Do you two talk much at all?

[Debitt]

We used to talk over instant messenger often, but not so much anymore since some things we said to each other caused a bit of a depression for me a while back. I'm waiting for things to cool down so we can talk again.

[Omega Amen]

You are in my prayers.

If the matter that caused the upset has been resolved/fixed, go for it.
