April of 2018 I wrote a post about envy. I shared my feelings of envy when I listened to my friends talking about their married lives. Today I feel distress.
One of those friends has a husband who makes something for a living. I have another friend who wants to make that item. So I figured I would introduce them. I reached out to her to see if we could all get together. She ignored me.
I found his Instagram account and noticed a disturbing trend. It was all about his product—until a few months ago. And then it was about the half naked women holding the product he makes.
And combined with a comment someone else made earlier this week, my intuition raised her head (like a hunting dog on full alert). I thought back and realized that she hadn’t come to church in a long time. Five minutes later I had verbal confirmation.
And I just ache for her and her family. And it distresses me how often this happens. It reminds me of sitting in a support group and seeing another woman I know walk in and thinking “Noooo! Not her!”
It’s just distressing and painful and I wish it wasn’t this way.
