Betrayal... Natural Misinformation... White Lie.......... Forgiveness?

To all who read,

God is good. I know that. But how do you forgive something that you didnt even know was happening to you your whole life??????

Well I have a friend named Pian, and he has some issues with some people. He's a forty year old man who I met at the Coffee Ethic in downtown springfield MO. 

He started to open up about how his whole life, or at least for half, for the past twenty years he's been lied to by a friend who he considered even to be his mother. Her name was Breaga. She was seventy years old. He didn't have a mother so she basically raised him. The majority of his life he spent with her, and for the first twenty years of his life, until he was on his own he loved and trusted Breaga Then one day that all changed. He found out that while he was in college at Missouri University, she had supposedly been covering his tuition, and it was written in a contract by the state that they were to give Breaga $50,000 dollars for Pian's college education. So the State did, and Pian had loans out the @$$ when he got out of college, he pondered why because he thought Breaga had it taken care of. Well evidently Breaga had spent the whole of the 50 grand over the years, and somehow got a loan in Pian's name to pay for the college. 

Johanne hasn't spoke to her since then........

I had no idea what to tell him. Someone who raised him, someone whom he trusted his whole life finally blew it all up in his face. He had noticed some slight inconsistencies before but never really anything to worry about but this, was serious a 20 year old lie. The only person he knew he could trust was the state, they never left him out to dry. So its either turn his back on Breagaor live with it. 

Pian has been at this crossroads for twenty years and has no idea what to do. 

God help Pian, 
God help me help Pian, 
God provide the strength and wisdom needed.

You are so good God.
