Hi everyone thank you for looking at this.. I am very much struggling and I need some Godly and practical advice.
I have been such good friends with this girl, I will call 'sarah' for 3 years now, we have been through so much together and in the past we have both said that we've never had such a friendship as this that we can call each other sisters. I would say she is my best friend. We especially grew closer as her family took me in for about a year and a half. We are both christians and have shared our faith journeys together. I have no family of my own and I consider her family as my family, if that makes sense. We used to share all our problems and pray together and encourage each other all the time. We would hang out almost every day praying, studying the bible, chilling out and whatever.
Then she got a boyfriend. Now I would first like to say I am not in anyway jealous of this fact, I can see they are perfect for each other and he makes her so happy! And yes he is a christian too. I am very secure in my singleness and I know my identity is in God not a husband /boyfriend. I would love to marry and have a family one day but I am only 21 so im not in a rush! This isn't where the problem lies.
It's just I never see her anymore, she spends all her time with him. To the point where I ask if she wants to hang out and she has to 'slot me in for an hour' before rushing off to be with him. Like im an inconvenience. I know that it is important they have to spend time together but I just feel so lonely. She doesn't need me now, not like I need her. And now I am feeling bitterness which I know is ungodly. But I seem to have lost my best friend and my sister. And I know we are never truly alone because we have God. But I am really really struggling with this. What would you do if you were me? I am praying that I will be gracious in this but it still hurts. I am not good at being alone (stuff to do with my past) I just feel I've already lost my family I don't want to loose my best friend too.
Thank you for reading this!
