Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get...

I am surrounded by people, a lot of lost people. People that may think they are walking w/ the Lord, but... I do not know for sure if these people are saved or not, but by looking at their lives and the way they are living, sends me different messages. Anywhere from poppin pills to getting drunk, to using foul language. What do I do? well... I am the type of person whom speaks her mind, most of the time no sugar coating. Yet still I attract these kinds of people. My Pastor says it the tattoos. Im covered. I do agree. Although I have changed, the Lord has changed me, I am His child, yet people still think I walk w/ Satan. Yes I used to party, get drunk, and even dabbled in some drugs, but anyone can change if they allow Christ in. I am at a loss as what to do w/ two paticular people in my life. I have gone through scripture, prayed, and still I am at a loss. The thing that really bugs me is how these people call themselves christians, and yet still do drugs. Just dont get it...I get mad, sad, and even sometimes encouraged. I see it as God has put these people in my life to help them, and to make me a more disciplined person. I have to be my best at all times, because even when I dont think anybody is looking, God is, and He is the only one that I need to live for, its not about me anymore. I have to be a roll model. I am coming up on my 1yr b-day as a christian, I strive to be a Godly Godly woman, I feel one day that people will look at me as one too, atleast I hope. I feel bad that people think so low of me, that I would either get them drugs, do drugs w/ them, or sell them my pain pills. I just wonder what God is doing, and why. I know its not my plan its His, I just get down on myself from time to time, it really bothers me. Stay on track, keep focused, stay in His word, dont slack, dont slip, just keep on pushin, keep on prayin...
