My best friend is going from being a Christian to a Pentecostal. I’ve always said I was open to all different religions and don’t judge, but now that I see how it’s changing her, it’s hard to hold on to that promise. She’s the one that showed me God and invited me to church with her everytime, and then she left that church. Now that she attends this pentecostal church, her beliefs are changing and she is acting differently. She believes that I was not baptized right and that I am not saved. She says that baptizing in “The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit” is not right and that it has to be  in Jesus’ name. Literally. Her church takes everything out of the bible very seriously, word for word. She even told me that she wanted to start wearing only skirts, wear no makeup, and stop cutting her hair. Which for her is a big step. I’m glad that she enjoys her church and is getting closer to God but it’s effecting our friendship. I could tell her everything and talk to her about everything and she was my only friend I could talk to about religion. Now that she has her different beliefs, it’s harder and she’s more judgmental. I have nothing against Pentecostals…but this is tearing our friendship apart and I Do Not Know how to cope with it. I just need help…and advice.

I used to dance. I took classes for five years and ever since I had to quit..I don’t dance anymore. It was my escape from reality. I could just lose myself once the music came on and I began to move. When things weren’t going my way and I was upset, I could always look forward to dance. I had high hopes of dancing; being on the advanced dance team, being a helper, or even opening up my own dance studio one day. But I quit dance to do color guard..and that didn’t work out. Every time I go to dance now, whether it’s in my backyard or with friends, it doesn’t feel the same, It feels like I lost my touch. I don’t want to take classes again because I’d have to start over. I just want to be able to dance like I used to and just feel free and feel that happiness and let go of everything else and just…move♥
