Simple solutions aren't always such.

I need some guidance these days more than most. But on those not so "most" days..I still need it. hehe
Well. I have this friend and she is in a bad way in a lot of ways. She's what some would call a "charity case". She's kinda driving me crazy. She calls constantly and also she has me as her gopher. She's always wanting me to go to Walmart for her. I'm not really having a problem with it, on one hand, but the gas and wear and tear on car and she's not on the way at all. I like her, but she's kinda making me not want to see her much. She's funny and all. A little colorful with her words so I have to call her on it occasionally 'cause my children are always there. My children like her, she loves my children. If I don't visit her she says she'll be in a worse way, so my compassion for her soars, but is she using me or what? I hate to just abandon her, but I'm not so sure what to do. My boundaries with her can be set, but how tight should I set them? Should I go visit her once a week, every other week, once a month?
I am being cryptic I know, but I don't want to give her away to anyone who might know me. I don't want to gossip, or turn anyone's ideas of her. Just a bit of venting I guess.
God will guide me in the right way. He'll make it all work according to His will. I'm ready, waiting for the Words.
