When I was in high school, I was used by this girl named Lisa. She always asked money from or material stuff. When I did not have the money I couldn't give it to her.
One time I told her that I am not giving her any money, and she said,
"Cheryl if you give some money or get more treasures in Heaven."
That was true, but I didn't like her using me. There was a time when I gave her money in front the family study teacher in high.
Lisa told me in front of her,
"If you give me, Cheryl than I will pay you back, so I did give her a bit of change in front of the teacher."

I don't ever remember her paying me back, but she was also bossy with me. In Homic class, she told me to do dishes, and said,
"You are not the boss," and she said,
"I don't care just do as you were told. I guess from I remember I did do the dishes until the class period ended.

I had a neighbor by the name of Joane who I was friends with for 14 years. I had some good times, but ever since she met her husband, she used me for money. She told that money would go towards a car for myself. I believed, and I had to keep it a secret from everybody else.

For many months I gave them money everything which was 300 dollars. They did want me to give them cheques, so I had to give them cash instead. When I think back as to why they wanted cash, they did not want any proof that I have been giving them money.

A year a half later after I had given them money, I never did see any vehicle that I was promised. When I asked Joanne why I never did get a car from money I gave her, she told that the guy whom she gave money to for the car had told me that he took off with the money. Joanne would not give his name.

I told my boyfriend about that time. Right now he would be my husband. I him Joanne and her husband's phone number, and he threatened that he would call the police on them if they don't give me back the money. Well to my relief, I got some of the money back from Joanne. I was afraid that if I asked for all the money back, she would not give any of the money back to me. I had to sign my name on a piece of paper towel that I got the money back in full.

Shortly after that, I had to say good bye to our friend ship because of not only after she did, but she told if I had anything to do with my husband, Kevin she did not want anything to do with me. I choose to be with Kevin. I felt that it was a good choice.

Right now I forgive her, but i still have hard time forgiving her husband, Klaas. They used drugs which i figured that they used the money for instead a vehicle. God says to forgive, and about 6 years ago, I phoned I told her that I was not mad at her anymore. She told me to take care of myself and that was last time I spoke to her.
