A Broken Promise?

I'm trying to figure something out. A while ago, an associate of mine promised she would handle a project for me. She volunteered, and I happily accepted. It's been a couple of months,and she hasn't come through on the project. In fact, she has not even mentioned it. I talk with her at least twice a week about topics related to this project, but she never brings up her promise to me. I feel like I should not have to remind her about this, and if she changed her mind, she should have the guts to say so to me. I have to pray about this, because I can tell I'm getting ready to get an attitude!

Yesterday I parked my car and walked a few blocks into town. While walking, I passed by a homeless woman who looked to be about my age. I acknowledged her with a smile. She smiled back at me. I made up my mind to give her some change on my way back to my car.
When I approached her again, I saw that she was asleep. She was curled up on a bench with her forearm covering her eyes. I didn't want to wake her to give her money that she hadn't asked for in the first place. I didn't want to leave the money in her pile of bagged belongings. I kept walking softly past her sleeping form.
Later, I felt guilty...
