Update--

Well, I suppose the worst has happened...at least, what I've always been afraid of. My friend has gotten a girlfriend. I want to be happy for him, but I am still sad for me. Just please be in continued prayer for me to have strength during this time...to continue to have the ability to witness and impact this young man's life. I stand by what I have said earlier, that my love is of no use to him--even if he did return his feelings. I just need strength in going through this rough patch...I don't want to lose him as my friend. That I am certain of. I don't want my emotions to get in the way of that or of seeing him get saved. Please continue in prayer and thank you for all your advice and prayers--for your consideration in my time of need.
