My friend is leaving!!

I am afraid that if I tell her that it will put her hopes down you see she is already struggling and might change her mind I don’t want to hurt her more than she already is

Of course you should tell her! She is your friend and she will understand. I don’t think it will change her mind, but if Gd has lain it on her heart to go then she will go. Make sure you also tell her you will be praying for her daily. I know it will help to keep her spirits up.

Tell her your feelings, Although if that is her calling and she wants to go she will. Any where in the world is dangerous now days. You just have to becareful like anywhere else! You guys can write letters and maybe you even can go visit her in Africa… That would be a trip! There are many ways to KIT! Don’t sweat it out too much!

Parting with dear friends is always tough, and esp. so, when they are very close. I understand your fears for your friend, and I also understand her reluctance. It has to be sort of scary for her to, esp. at 26, and leaving the security of what she has always known.

However, apparently she must feel the leading of the Lord, or she would not attempt to do something like this.

I would try to be very supportive, of her decision, and at the same time, let her know how much you care about her, and about how you will miss her.

It will be very important to pray for her regularly, like goodgirl says, also, you can keep in touch, by letter. I am sure that she will value the correspondence that she receives very much, and more than likely, she will go thru many changes, because of this choice, not all of which will be pleasant, but, again, she is trying to be obedient.

Do your best to love and support her.

God bless…

thanks thats great advice I am just worried for her!!
