This request is for Sarah. She is a sister in Christ in college. Here is her email..............
Hey guys! How are all of you doing? I know that's a pretty broad question, but I DO want to know! Things are staying REALLY busy here at school. I could use some prayer though. Things have been pretty rough. I've had one of my "friends" talk badly about me behind my back about stuff. I confronted her on it and she wrote a very hurtful email to me and then came and yelled at me for over an hour and a half, not to mention she hit me in the shoulder prior to that(thought I was going to have a bruise), and lied to me outright and blamed everything on me. (Little does she know that I have proof of her saying what she did) Now, I'm scared to be around her, afraid for my safety. She looks at me with almost hatred in her eyes...scary! O_O I am also having problems with this guy. I just want to be friends, but I'm getting the strong impression that he wants it to be more then that, though I'm holding my ground. Fortunately, my dad taught me when to say "No". He's not trying any moves, but he's starting to get possessive and controlling, so that scares me a bit. And he's also becoming pushy. I'm also swamped with homework and having these emotions aren't helping. I'm really missing my grandpa too, so any prayers would be greatly appreciated. I do want to say that through all of this, I have really, REALLY been drawing closer to God. He's been SO helpful to me!! And do you know what?? When this "friend" of mine bullied me around and yelled at me, I felt as though God had His hands around me and was also covering my ears, because I felt extremely calm through all of this. It was a peace I know only comes from Him. It wasn't till after she left when I went to my room and started to cry and hyperventilate. My sister was there to help me breath and calm down though. So, yeah. Fun semester! Sorry, that was long!
