There are times when I want to vent, but I have to be careful with what I share. I remember when I read a very good book by R.T. Kendall called "Total Forgiveness". One of the specific ideas of forgiveness also included not sharing anothers shortcomings with anyone. Basically, and this is EXTREMELY difficult to do, but when someone wronged me, I wasn't to share what the sin was, but to forgive the person. I think the point was that if said person were to change by the grace of God, I wouldn't want anyone that I shared their sins with to have a bad opinion of them. I hope that all made sense. All that being said, I think the very best thing we could do for this woman is pray very hard for her and for God to lead her in His direction. However God choses, if she truly believes in HIM and is a follower of HIM, she will finally get it one day. It may been later than sooner, but it will happen. Just look at me, lol!!!
