What Do You Do?
Here’s my question…
What do you do if you know someone who is potentially entering a harmful place in life? Where/whom they are seeking refuge, guidance, and advice from is not healthy? You know it’s not healthy because you have experienced it’s destruction, not from some random gossip mill. It’s destruction has touched many a person’s life you know and it completely and utterly crumbled you not so long ago.
It’d be one thing if there had been a constant connection with this person over the years, because they would have seem the damage caused. But as life happens people come and go, and for some reason this person is back to a degree. So having a relationship to say something, well the relationship aspect isn’t there – yet.
What do you do?
To say something could really turn the person off. Heck they could know and not give a rip.
To say something would be lining myself up in yet another set of cross-hairs. I take one too many shots for people as it is.
To say something means reliving the experience again. I really have no desire to do that.
To say something may give the person insight and allow them a bit of protection. But then again what if they don’t want to know.
I dunno…I’ll reconnect and while doing that I have to think/pray.

There is a time and season for everyone. You had your time and season, although in the end it proved painful, overall a growing experience. The hardest thing about it is understanding why God didn’t destroy the source of your pain, but it too has its purpose, even though you may not understand it. You have to trust that God leads people where they need to be in their season. My suggestion is to keep out of it and let God work it out, just pray for this person that God will shield that person from the heartache you experienced and bring her out when HE sees fit. Take it or leave it..thats my two cents.
