I've been on here for a while, and not on recently. I've posted discussions before, even about this particular person. Cloudwatcher, you've given me some good advice. But, I'm going crazy over a situation I'm having. I've written about this friend... bad repetitive life cycle, single parenthood, many boyfriends, and raising 3 children... but anyway. She talked me into signing my children up for something at church (like Scouts, but a Christian A/G version). I didn't want to at first (for dumb reasons). But, now I know, it's best for my children to be raised in this environment, and w/many Christians to fellowship w/and Christian activities. Well... my friend has even admitted (months ago) that she shouldn't back out of it. But, she hasn't brought her children regularly in months. I want to call her on it. I'm furious. But, I don't want to muddy the waters, or maybe even disinegrate this friendship in which I may be the only real Christian friend she has. But, she's talking about signing her kids up for sports and making them commit to it if they say they want to. But, that's secular. Which IS fine... But, she SHOULD be making the committment to this herself. What do I do? I"m so upset. I'm furious and want to call her on it. I also want to tell her this is best for her children. What do I do? How do I do it. I know i want to pray about it. But, I have so much internal anger and frustration about it. It's even difficult to pray about. I know I need to pray to be calm myself, but what else should I do? Please help me with any Christian advice possible. Thank you.
