So I'm going to have a difficult time choosing the right words for this because I am so angry right now.  My best friend's mother passed away about  8 months ago.  His father began dating or "seeing" someone less than 4 months after she passed away and it's really difficult for me.  I know that my friend is struggling with it too, the hardest part for me is seeing how this woman acts and feeling like she is trying to replace Cheryl, like she can just come in and take her place as if she never existed.  This woman is not in LOVE w/ Jesus and only comes to church when she feels like it. (she is a nurse and could change her hours if she really wanted to...)  After Cheryl passed away, my friend's dad said that the most important thing to him was finding somebody who was IN LOVE w/ the same Jesus that he was in love with, and now he doesn't care.  None on my friend's dad's friends like this situation either and are ALL advising him to take it slow and wait on the Lord, but despite their efforts he is convinced that she is "THE ONE".  I see it completely different though, I fear that she is only in it for the money, that once they get married she is going to be the worst person to live with but that he will be stuck with it because he chose to marry her.  (Yes, as stupid as it is, they plan on getting married only a short year from now...)  that completely and totally breaks my heart in half.  I just really need prayer for that Lord to show me where my place is in this situation and how I can comfort my friend and talk to him about it, I want him to know that he can talk to me about it if he wants.  I don't know, I'm just hurt, angry, frustrated, confused, and fearful.  So please, PLEASE keep this situation in prayer, just that the Lord would have it HIS way and not allow any foolish, life-changing decisions to be made. 

Thanks, Justine
