Karen,
I'm so glad you posted this. Now, I know how to pray more specifically about what is happening with you.
I have had some stuff transpire with the woman I had been mentoring. Long story short, she did not like that I rebuked her about her continued behavior with her husband. We argued back and forth, with me quoting Scripture, and basically the outcome is that she dropped me as her mentor as a believer. Then, she said she just wanted me as a friend who she could vent to about her family. I told her I did not want to hear her complain about her family. I told her if she did that with me, I would stop her, because I did not want to hear her complain about her family all the time. Well, she blocked both my house number and my cell phone number on her cell phone. She does not answer her house phone, nor does she listen to its messages.
Her behavior does not surprise me at all. My therapist suggested that I not take her back as someone I would be mentoring, nor as a friend. She is emotionally compromised between her mental health diagnoses, and addictions. She twists things and is very manipulative.
Thanks for praying.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Well you can't force her to change so it may be time to let her go and maybe try to find someone else to mentor. You have alot of great knowledge to share and there is no sense in "sowing pearls before swine" either. If all she wants is a pat on the head and a venting board, you don't need that. She obviously isn't ready to make changes in her life and may never be. So help someone who is really and actively seeking a better life.
Oh I swear computers will be the death of me. I'm so grateful hubby is a geek even if he did kill the system the other day. I'm hoping my refurbished puter is ready soon. I still try to peek in here every day just can't always respond.
