I don't pretend to have the right answers or the best answers...but here is my take on it. <br /><br />I think that these types of situations outside our "safety net" are there for a reason. He has a plan...and it is to reach out into the world. Maybe we need to be stretched a bit in our faith and maybe this is part of the stretching?<br /><br />That said...pray about letting Him use you in these situations to be His light for your friends. It doesn't mean you have to preach or teach to them during this time...but when His light shines through, I'm convinced people want to get to know you and by knowing you they learn about Him or more about Him if they already know Him.<br /><br />Just being a part of that group of friends means that God has an opportunity to use you as a witness...and so let Him. It's okay to enjoy yourself a little. I say let Him worry about the details. He has us here to enjoy life...to be in fellowship...and there is nothing wrong with getting together with friends to do just that. <br /><br />Okay...so I don't know if that helped any...but I'll pray for you as you seek the answers you need. <br /><br />Today is your birthday so be blessed!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8054453759455351471.post-59913109516239052812011-03-31T20:50:31.930-04:002011-03-31T20:50:31.930-04:00All deep questions...

Although I do fully believe that even a Christian can gain a lot through friendships outside of the church -- just in interacting and getting to know people.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.com
