So I have this friend of mine... my best friend. She has gone through so much in the past year and doesn't know where her life is going. She's even said, "If it wasn't for my daughter, that I wouldn't be here right now." That broke my heart to no end. All I could do is cry with her on the phone when she finally called me after having been hiding from me and everyone in her life.
She lost her mother to a painful disease, lost work, she's had to have surgery out of know where, and on top of that, she may be facing divorce from her husband. She has had her suspicions about her husband with things that have transpired, but is not 100% sure on anything. All this has happened within this past year. I have tried to reach out to her. I keep telling her to go back to church with me. She just doesn't take that first step again. So I just keep praying for her and her family.
I get a COURAGE key and she is the first person that I know to give it to. I prayed over the key and asked her to keep it with her everywhere she goes. I know God will always be with her, but at the same time He wants her to want Him. She knows this. It's just a matter of relying on God and trusting in Him to see her through all the hard times. God can move mountains!!!
