Bed Bugs Yuck!!!!

Tweet

One of my close friend's who lives here recently got a new roommate. The girl came in scratching. I know that there were no bed bugs in the room before she came, because I use to hang out in this room with my friend all the time. Now they are on my friend's side of the room also and she is being bitten constantly. She has been suffering with this now for over a week. When I first heard about it, another friend had come and woke me up to tell me. So it did not hit me at first. But when it did, I knew that I wanted to do something immediately. This place is so cheap and uncaring, that I knew that they would not do much to get rid of the bugs. All of a sudden, I thought about contacting the Health Department and I knew that if I did not, I was going to lose my temper. This was on Tuesday and I am hoping to hear from them very. I e-mailed them, instead of calling, but I believe that I will call them on Monday. This friend of mine as a real hard time speaking up for herself and was severely abused as a child. Now she is having to deal with getting bitten constantly by bed bugs. The new roommate is so out of it, that she just lays there with the bugs crawling all over her and does not say a word about anything, ever. She just stares at the ceiling. It is really sad. On Friday, the head of housekeeping came to the room with a cheap 99 cent spray. I had already warned my friend that this is what they were going to do and that she should not get frustrated, because real help is on the way. I do not always know how far to go for my friend's all I know is that I hate to see people suffering. God knows my heart and I know that he will not allow me to get in his way. Although, my friend is a Christian, her faith in God is not that strong. Whenever I suggest that she trust God, she starts telling me about what others are going to do and say. That really frustrates me, because when it comes to God, I do not care what anyone else says or does. Once someone reminds me to pray, that's all I need. But it seems every I mention God to her, I have to try to convince her that he will come through for her. This is why I do not want to try and do every thing for her, she hast to learn to trust God for herself. I can not stand to see her suffering, but I had to learn to trust him for myself, the same as she will have to.
