No favors

For the past 5 months I have been letting a friend of sorts stay with me since she was out of a job. I feel really badly for her because she hasn't been able to find anything yet and is basically all alone in this world. I've been blessed with more than enough space, so I told her that she could stay with me for a bit. Well, I certainly didn't expect that to lead to 5 months.

I've been meaning to have a conversation with her about moving out because I really want it to happen. I need my space!!!!!! I can't handle her dog and we're just really different. But, everytime I make up my mind to say something...I get sidetracked. Either something happens in her life that would make that conversation even worse or something happens in my life that prevents me from being home to have that discussion. I don't know, though, if it's so much that I am just chickening out or if I should just let her stay. Ughh!!! I hate this. I don't want to have to be the one to "kick" her out. I feel so guilty, but I know that there's no reason for me to feel guilty. I've done nothing, but offer her grace, compassion, and hospitality.

So, here's what I need: PRAYER. If you think of it please pray: 1) She gets a job, 2) I stop enabling her and give her a deadline, 3) God would open the door to that conversation.

Lord, help me.
