There is a minor reason why I haven't been writing. Well a couple reasons, really. One I have been out of town and two school has been really difficult, so it's taken longer....BUT those aren't the main reason.
The main reason is that I have been dealing with a lot of frustration with Dana. Recently, Dana, decided that she wanted more from me all the time. She has asked if I want to give her more of my movies, if I would make her more smoothies, give her orange juice(since I didn't make her a smoothie), and take her to Craighead Forest. She now comes up and just sits next to me, and I really can't talk because she usually comes up while I'm studying. This morning, she followed me to work out...
The thing is I know Dana has her issues. And because of that I'm trying not to get frustrated when I have seen her become kind of greedy with me.
But I have a question for all those who are reading this?
What is right? To draw a line and make sure she doesn't cross it OR to give her everything she wants? This is where the dissonance is taking place in my head. I truly want to be like Christ to my neighbors, but I'm not sure what that looks like with her. I do know it is out of my comfort zone.
But that's what I signed up for.
In other news, one of my neighbors to the right of me are super cool. He is an artist and she works in a pharmacy. I saw him last night at 1 in the morning sitting outside and playing the guitar. SO COOL!
Comment back, I want some feedback.

I'm in the same boat... Let me know what you find out... Just like you I'm wiling to take time to chill with them and bless them, but when they start using me, and lieing to me to get what they want I don't know what to do.
ReplyDeleteEmmy Kates- Hold up all your feeling to 1 Corinthians 13 and Hebrews 13:2. Let it define your reaction to her. I love you!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2. Good call.
