Once again I have learned the hard way that people who call themselves friends and christians can not be trusted. Someone I really trusted has said something so awful if they would of hit me with a hammer it would not of hurt so bad. Words are hurtful and they can never be taken back, I was accused of something that is so sick that I still can not believe what I heard.
I will not be going back on two blogs I normally post on anymore. I should of known better. I will not go into details because then I would be as bad as the one who is spreading lies about me, I really trusted this person. but just another slap in the face by a christian,
Well I will stop writing now before I become what I don't want to be and that is a gossip. My intnetions are not to hurt anyone they really aren't. I just had to write out some of my hurt on here, not many people know about this place anyway,
Chip and I are going to bed.

Let Down Once Again by Someone Who Said They Were A Friend

Mary,
People will let you down.
I too was hurt by many "Christians". I suffered when a whole group of women came against me before I told them my side. God didn't let me do this to prove to me that they were willing to hear gossip and not come and ask me what happened. He was showing me something very important early in my Christian walk. I lost what I thought was the friendship 17 women who were in a Bible study with me for 3 years. Several years later the truth came out and only one of them came to me and apologized. But God wanted me to suffer in silence--to teach me what the Christian walk would be like. After the incident that caused the seperation, several called me to condemn me--God would not let me speak out. One woman lied and turned somethign aroudn so that she woudl not be caught in a lie. She was my neighbor. Imagine how difficult it was to see her. I was only saved a couple of years when this happened. I woudl spend hours in my room crying every day. One of the ladies was my best friend and the one who led the study in my house. She didn't even come to me. Years later she was the one who apologized and she said that the Lord really chastened her for what she did. Her husband was without work for 3 years. After she apologized to me, he got a job the next week. She was my mentor-I was so hurt.
I have to say that the few years after this, I really began to see God as a friend and comforter as I never had before. My mentor was taken away from me-I used to call her every day at 8AM to talk to her. She never directed me to God-she always gave me her own wisdom. God had plans for me but He wanted me to stop trusting people and trust HIM!
Perhaps you should thank God that he has gotten you off the blogs.
I think for the most part they keep people away from the Word of God and they are a tool of the enemy (some of them, not all of course).
The enemy plants people disguised as believers all over--in the churches, as Pastors, teachers, etc. There is always one in twelve (Judas as an example).
Today is Passover-the day Jesus died and the day the lamb of the world took away our sins.
Halleluyah, we are free, and we must seek Him more than we seek others who will only let us down.
I am still praying for you and I rejoice that God is weeding out what HE wants you to have no part of. I say "Praise Him!!!". He knows what is best for us.
You have a friend in me!

Thanks Chosen, I amjust so hurt right now I can not talk about it, This whole thing has caused me major panic attacks all last night,
Mary,
I thought of one important thing in my "event"...The neighbor who had lied agreed with me to have all the women present and then I can share what I believed was the truth...she called me back that she only wanted the lady present who held the study (my friend) and that she would lie about something because she said that if her husband knew about this particular thing he would be angry at her.
I told her "You want God to be present when you lie and change the truth?" "And then prevent all the other women from being there?"
Do you think God will honor this meeting? I thought she wanted to come clean.
I told her that I would not be part of this.
Well, she never told the other woman (my friend) why the meeting was cancelled,and when that woman finally called me and apologized 2 years later(she was willing finally to hear my side when I told her why that meeting was cancelled-she was upset I didn't tell her-yet she never came to me as a friend to ask me my side), she thought that I wanted that meeting cancelled, so my neighbor never even told her what happened. So not only did she lie the first time, but she lied again...
AND, she never allowed all the other women to be present because she lied.
I dont believe she could be "born again" and do what she did. She had every opportunity to make things right and she continued to lie to protect herself.. and you know, if all those other women were willing to believe her, they were no friends of mine.
But yet, she prevented them from knowing the truth--it all could have been solved fromt he beginning.
The study was then moved to her house.
Mary, Imagine every week when I woudl see all those cars parked in frontof her house and down the street. I used to feel so sick. I woudl walk my dog and I would see all these women drive by.This went on fro several years every week a reminder of the hurt.
I could have called all those women and told them what happened. I just prayed for conviction of this woman. Woudl you believe she volunteered for the March of Dimes and she woudl leave envelopes in my mailbox to give her money????
Incredible....
I can say that I haven't thought of this for a few yrs and I guess I am finally over it because I am not getting mad while writing this--progress!!!!

Mary,
Don't let other people get to you.
Don't let them steal your joy.
If they do, the enemy has succeeded.
Don't let him win this war!!
You are a conqueror in Jesus Christ!
No eapon formed against you will prosper!
Youa re a daughter of the Most High!!!!!!

maryb: I have a friend of 16 years lie about me, forcing me to quit a job. It broke my heart that he could trash a friendship so easily...
Mary,
I am hoping you are feeling better.
I have been praying for you today.
It is painful when we are hurt by those we trust.
You know that everyone here loves you and are praying for you.
