If after a certain amount of time it becomes second nature to be able to walk by someone whom you used to be great friends and not speak to them at all or does it take extra effort to pretend that person does not exist?? Me personally I think it is much more fun to cover them with kindness and even occassionally cause them to stumble from their let's ignore her and cause them to talk to me although usually it is a brief conversation. I know that might sound weird, but it sure does make little old me happy when it happens, plus it lets me know that yes they can still be nice and friendly which in turn leads me to believe that they are having to do a lot of extra work to not talk to me..
I also wonder where as Christian people we get off being this way to other Christians.. I mean hello we do not have to agree with everyone and we do not need to get so upset that someone is not doing what we say when we say it that we choose the road of avoidance.
What ever happened to forgiveness?? What happened to treat others as you want to be treated? What happened to praying for one another and seeking healing? What happened to not letting our hearts harden towards another of Christ's children. Sometimes people are so upset with a friend who simply lives their own lives and makes their own choices as they feel led that they begin to feel a hardening in thier hearts and I really believe and feel like God will deal with that someday and their stubborness to forgive and reconcile that it will be much worse to go through than if you had just done it when it first came into your mind..
Ok well enough ramblings from me.. I gotta get to bed..
Good Night and God Bless

Then her *walk* started to not line up with her talk.
Then her *justifying this and justifying that* didn't line up with her "first appearance".
Long story short.
It took 4 years for me to see this very vocal 'christian' was not what her talk made her out to be.........
I called her out once (in love) and then after some time, decided this just wasn't a relationship I wanted to be in.
We bump into each other occasionally. I am polite.
Don't let it burn you up.......that is the devil!! Who cares how she acts.......she will answer to God for her actions. You continue to Love in Truth, and you will be REWARDED for your actions!!
Have a great day!!
