[Faith-talk] When friendship is tough

[tina birenbaum]

definitely! and i'm glad you are ok! there are just some sick evil 
people out there i will ask for prayer of my own, and i'm glad we can 
do this for each other. i'm checking out one of the nfb chapters here 
this weekend. it's been a very long time since i've seen some of the 
members and well, things weren't always good. i just need prayer or 
courage or both to even go and trust god for the rest and considering 
somethings he's brought me through in the last year this won't be much 
for him but is for me. i'm pretty nervous about going, about how people 
will be toward me receptive, friendly or not, but i feel like there is 
a reason i've been thinking about this and also the ACB meetings meet a 
t a very bad time for me and i'm thinking it might be nice for social 
involvement just as well as who knows whose lives we can touch so, i'm 
praying that things will go well saturday, hopefully better than i 
think. i'm trying to remember that god already knows how it'll go, oi 
don't have to today even though i want to and that he'll be there with 
me. so hoping i can come home saturday and tell you guys that things 
went very well.
