A Discovery

I started this blog so that I could discover who I am.  Today I discovered I don't like being in a conversation where my words hit a brick wall and fall broken to the ground.  I have a friend that is having issues in her marriage.  But I don't see the problem.  She asks for my advice and I tell her, and it's like she has an excuse for every thing I say.  FRUSTRATING!!!  She could really use your prayers.  Her and her husband have known each other since high school.  The didn't start dating until college.  They got married and have been married for over ten years.  My friend says she feels that God doesn't want her in this relationship because she isn't living up to her potential because of him.  I tell her she needs to read 1 Corinthians.  That the only reason God says you can divorce is if one commits adultry.  She comes back with,  if I'm living a lie isn't that sin,  isn't sin sin no matter what it is??  I went blank.  It was like that the whole time we talked.  It doesn't help that she's getting advice from her friends that are so much happier after they get a divorce.  She has children and I have asked her what about them.  She said oh that they would be fine.  They're the only one of their friends with married parents.  What kind of excuse is that!  I've seen her kids friends.  They have issues!!  I have told her and told her to pray and ask God to give her the love she needs to stay with her husband.  Anytime I tell her that it is like it hits a brick way and falls to pieces.  She claims to pray and have a relationship with God, but everytime I mention Him,  she shuts down. 

I love this person very much.  This issue is a result of other issues.  She thinks this will make her happier but it won't fix what's truly making her unhappy. I pray God gives me the words to speak to her.
