Accountibility

Ok so I have this close friend, we’ll call her sara, and something is just not right. I have felt this way for some time now, and I have mentioned these feelings to her in the past a few times, how ever she was very convincing and said nothing was wrong so I left it alone. This same feeling keeps coming back to me over and over again, it’s like I can’t put my finger on the problem, there is just something funky with her heart, I can just feel it. We have been very open with each other in the past, but for some reason this time is different, there are walls up now that were not there before. I feel so stuck, because my wounded flesh says to just let it go so that I won’t be rejected. On the other hand my heart says that is is NOT about me and I need to help her. I am feeling that she is not in a very receptive place right now, she has a hardness on her heart that has come out of no where. So basically if I take this huge step in accountability with her, our friendship more than likely will be over. On the other side of this, If I sit back and keep this from her and anything should happen I would have HUGE guilt on my heart, and I would have FAILED her.

So my question is:
Is this nudge on my heart God pushing me to do His will, Is it God wanting to refine Sara, Is it God wanting to test and grow me? Or is it silly EMOTIONS?

I know that God’s way will always bring Healing, Growth, Happiness, PEACE. However I know that my flesh can’t be trusted and has been known to be in the way of important matters in the past. Just processing my thoughts. I love Sara and I truly care about her and I just want her to be happy and healthy. Those are my thoughts today :)

Spiritual attack, blessing, growth, brokenness, GREATNESS!

All of the above I say
There is so much going on right now it makes my head spin. In the midst of all this craziness God shouts to my heart loud and CLEAR!

Our Church:
God is doing a HUGE work, I see Him so clearly. He is pulling back those who have done their service and sending them to where they are NOW needed. He is calling on others to step up and put their training into practice.
It’s about His mission, His purpose, His WILL! It is not about US, it is NOT about the details of who said this or has done that. It is all about God and fallowing the calling that he has put on our hearts.
Focus is key, to many people are looking back, standing still and waiting for all the answers (and they will NEVER come). Faith is moving forward WITHOUT all the answers, and that is where we ALL need to be in order to be able to move forward. I am just so EXCITED about our church RIGHT NOW, I know that God has it right where it NEEDS to be.

Matthew 3:8

"Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not presume to say to yourselves, ' we have Abraham as our father,' for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. Even now the axe is being laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
