Do you end it if she finds the Lord?

She is your best friend. Your partner-in-crime. Ever since you met, the two of you have been inseparable. You are like two peas in a pod. Life has just been a bowl of cherries, until she pulls a bolt out of the blues.

She has seen the light. You are a bit baffled. She did not exactly strike you as the type. Though you are not big on religion, you are ready to support your friend in her new-found faith.

Isn’t that the essence of a healthy relationship? You try to convince yourself that things will still be the same. You are so wrong! She lays down some ground rules. No more indulgence in ‘worldly pleasures’ for her. Okay. You can live with that. So you don’t have to meet up at the club anymore. No big deal.

She embarks on her spiritual journey. As time passes, she changes remarkably. You hardly recognize her anymore. She is forever adorned in ‘proper’ clothing and has acquired a very puritanical outlook to life.

Her previously YOLO oriented social media is now flooded with Bible verses. Soon, your conversations become stunted. You are not sure what she deems appropriate anymore. She is courteous enough to invite you to coffee sometimes, but you're getting a bad rap from her new Bible study friends.

You do not quite like how they try to proselytize you into their beliefs. Your lifestyle is just fine. Their holier-than-thou attitude doesn’t quite wash with you either.

You feel ostracized, but you are determined to salvage what is left of the relationship. This tosses her in a moral conundrum. She starts to avoid you like the plague. You see less and less of her. Eventually, she fully extricates herself from your circle of friends.

Weeks go by with no word from your childhood friend. You miss her to bits and for once, you get to engage in ‘debauchery’ without someone silently condemning you to eternal damnation. You have no idea what is going on in her life.

The only link you have with her is the occasional glimpse on her Facebook wall.

You notice a trend. If her new status updates is anything to go buy, she is slowly but surely reverting to her old self. Well, that was short-lived! You are not sure what to feel.

Should you be happy that you are getting your friend back from the self-righteous prick she had become, or should you be worried that she is losing her way?

Soon enough, you get the phone call. She wants to hang out at the club. You start to wonder. You were not good enough for her when she found Jeso Kristo, but it is now cool to hangout when she backslides? That just sucks.
