My Sister
Writing that "I am the statistic you never hear about" made me really have a lot more compassion for my sister. When she was thirteen she had a good support group. Her youth pastor was there for her and they always talked about things that were happening in life. Everything worked out great for her, until the religion set in with her youth pastor. She wanted to talk about sex and one time her friend made a gesture during their youth meeting. The youth minister got really religious and avoided the question. Unfortunately, he shut the door between him and my sister and she wandered down the wide path.
After that, my sister grew up and formed into the woman that the enemy had led her to be. She is very insecure. She always thinks that she has some rare disease that hasn't even been discovered yet. She fears everything in the world and is scared to death of what might be in her future. She and I had the same childhood. The same things happened in her life that happened in mine. She wandered into drugs about five years ago. She didn't come to my bachelorette thing at Amy's house because she was messed up. She came to my wedding without showering. Those things really bother me, but at the same time I have compasssion for her.
My sister has been delivered from the drugs. I still worry that she may be taking way more medication than what has been prescribed, but I know that the Lord will watch over her and her family. I pray that the spirits that have been operating in her life will be broken and that they will not be able to touch her son and daughter. I know that the Lord has a plan for my sister's life and I pray that she can start operating in it soon.
The Lord allowed me to see a gifting on her that she may not even know about. Nearly every person that I have known of that she has prayed for has been completely healed. I know that this is a gift from the Lord. I pray that He will draw her to Himself and that she will be able to cry at His feet and lay her past before Him. I pray that the Lord will show her glimpses of her childhood when He was there with her. When we did the Beth Moore study, the assignment that really had the biggest impact on me is when we had to go through our life and list the times from our past where we could see the hand of God. It broke my heart to see that He really was there with me. ......to be continued
