My Sister...Cont'd
Of all the days to be in prayer for my sister, today's the day.
About the time that Jason and I were getting married, my sister was getting divorced. I won't go through all the details, but her ex-husband was emotionally abusive and violent. He drew his hand back to hit her once and she told him he better hit hard if he was going to hit her. He didn't do it, but after that she had a shattered heart and no where to go.
This is why she started using drugs. The song that comes to mind for her is "God bless the broken road that led me straight to you." My sister's life has been a broken road, but she has been led back to God. Now her testimony is more powerful and she can speak to the people in Rushville. (It's a small town...what's there to do other than drugs? I'm not joking. I am one of the exceptions of Rushville. I never drank, got high, partied, etc. But, almost everyone I knew did those things.)
Three years ago my sister came to church. Her life was a mess and she finally realized that since detox didn't help, only God could save her. She confessed everything to me and Jason. We prayed with her and the Lord delivered her. Soon after that, she met her Bryan. Things went very well for them and they decided to get married. Bryan has been a great balance for her. He keeps her safe and gives her a sense of security. They are great parents.
Today I will be testifying that my sister is a good parent and that her son should live with her. I pray that the Lord of Hosts would fill the court room with His presence. I pray that He would give me and Jason boldness to say the truth. I pray that the judge will see the anger and selfishness of my sister's ex. Bryce is really not safe at his dad's house. My sister will get custody of Bryce. I can't picture this happening any other way.
