Me and this girl are becoming friends, which I'm really happy about because she's a really cool girl.. BUT
she is really negative. 70% of what comes out of her mouth is a complaint or criticism about someone in her life or some situation. She tends to blame all her problems on other people..
I was recently really convicted about what kinds of things I was saying in conversations, read a really good book about making sure your personal speech glorifies God, so it's REALLY difficult for me when I'm so tempted to gossip or complain when we talk.
She is actually my "accountability partner", which basically means that we read a portion of the Bible every week, and then discuss it and discuss things we struggle with together, and basically keep each other accountable.
So... should I bring this up? She is a brand new Christian and I don't want to discourage her, but she is my ACCOUNTABILITY partner, and I really want to make sure we become good friends because I really like her.. and it's so hard like this.
What to do?
