This post is about 2 things: giving and family. Lets talk about family for a second. I have a sister…..who has been feeling a certain about certain people since she was a little girl. Those people are my parents and part of it includes me. As you know my sister is older than me by 4 years clearly she was born before me. Heres the problem: She feels as if we dont love her and if we do she cant see it. She believes that I am spoiled only because she thinks that she have never gotten the same treatment that I have received from my parents. She says all she ever wanted was to feel like she has a family that loves and cares for her. Because she feels the way she feels she feels like she doesnt need to be surrounded by people that dont care for her. She would rather give her attention to other people and dismiss her family. As for me…she feels that I dont respect her as my big sister or an adult for that matter. I tell her thats not true. I have tried being there for her, talking to her, hanging out with her,etc. Previously growing up with her it didnt happen that way….I may have acted a certain way to keep from following in her footsteps as i was younger because of what my parents told me all my life….I cant put my sisters mistakes on the internet…nor mine as well…all I say is awhile back I was a big mess…and her? Well shes still in her ways a little bit and refuses to change. She has her mind made up. In the year of 2010 I decided to change and give my life to Christ…..ever since then Ive been trying to put my family back together in which I feel is broken. I feel like no one is cooperating with me….My sister believes that she does not need to get her hopes up…she thinks my parents wont change….I do admit….my parents have ways that eat me up inside…but I pray for them as well as my sister….but nothing seems to be happening yet…except the fact that everyone is trying to come together and be a family again…like we used to…but its happening so slowly….w/o the participation of my sister….I believe what opened everyones eyes is this…I had a fiance who loved and adored me….he recently passed back in January….so suddenly…one minute he was talking to me…the next hes gone in my arms…and I have been tryin to live with that night every day of my life since then….I think we all decided that life is too short for all the grudges, bad treatment and bickering….We now see the only thing that matters is whats happening now….and right now? My family is broken..and I am doing my best to put everything back in place…..A long time ago someone told me that I would be the bridge for my family…..The problem is…Im still waiting for this to fall into place…All I know is…I cant lose patience…and I refuse to lose faith….The minute I do that….everything will fall apart and get worse….I cant let that happen….I got to keep pressing toward the mark. Let God do the rest. He hears me……He knows what this family needs…

Encouraging Words
If you dont know who God is let me tell you who he is and what he has done for this world. He is the the world who created you in the first place. He is someone who is going to listen to you when you need him to and you only have to mention it once…he hears you. He is a God who loved and still loves you in spite of you and the things that you have done will do and is still doing. He hears the cry of those of are broken and contrite and wanna do right. He hears the prayers of the upright and delights in those prayers. God loves when he is magnified and glorified in your every day life in everything that you do. That’s why he tells us to give thanks in all that we do and receive because if it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t have any of those things. God is a God of unconditional, infinite, and everlasting, love ,joy, peace, and mercy. Every day you wake up you receive new mercies. Every day you wake up you ought to say “THANK YOU LORD!” because it was him that woke you up in the first place, not your alarm clock, not a phone call, not someone yelling in your ear, not someone having to kick and slap you because you sleep deeply. NO! It was God always will be God and no one else. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. HE DOES NOT CHANGE. He is the one that can turn your life around. He can take a murderer and turn him into a strong devoted man of God. He can take a prostitute and turn him or her into a strong devoted child of God. God reminds us every day of who he is and what he does, and what he has done and what he will do! There is no stopping him because hes on the move! God always move! Hes expecting you to move to. Hes a God who can take your nightmares and turn them into sweet and pleasant dreams. How are you able to eat? God. How are you able to have clothes to wear? God. How are you able to have water to drink and not get sick? God How did you get the car and house that you got? God. EVERYTHING GOOD AND PERFECT THING COMES FROM HIM. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE, EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER RECEIVE COMES FROM HIM. HIS THOUGHTS OF YOU ARE GOOD AND NOT EVIL! Please remember that. Hes doing all these things for the ones he love and even more. He made the BIGGEST sacrifice and that sacrifice will always and forever be unfeigned and no one can top this….you want to know what that sacrifice was if you don’t already know? HE DIED FOR YOU. HE SENT HIMSELF DOWN HERE IN THE FORM OF A MAN TO TAKE CRUELTY, BEATINGS, TORTURE, AND UNBELIEF AND DOUBT…PURE DEATH HE DEMONSTRATED HIS LOVE FOR THE WORLD WHEN HE SENT A MAN AND CALLED HIM JESUS. HE DIDN’T HAVE TO DO IT BUT HE DID…TO TAKE ON THE SINS OF THE WORLD SO YOU WOULDN’T HAVE TO! ITS BEEN DONE AND PAID FOR! Can you do that??? NO. Did he do that? YES. Before he did what he did he made sure that there were people who gave their life up to follow him so that he can set an example for us to follow. He prepared them so they can prepare us. His followers. His apostles. He created a new covenant…that covenant was in remembrance of him…what he done…his blood and his broken body. He left us to love one another as he has loved us…and to love him with all our heart, mind, and soul…with all that we have. He came to give us LIFE. THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT JESUS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO THE FATHER IS THROUGH HIM. Now what kind of God would do this for me? for us? for the world? THIS GOD. JESUS. JEHOVAH. LORD OF LORDS. KING OF KINGS. MIGHTY GOD. EVERLASTING FATHER. AND THAT AINT ALL. WE HAVE A COMFORTED THAT HE SENT FOR US! YES LORD THE HOLY GHOST! OUR GUIDE…SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE! NEVER WILL BE! So if you dont know who God is by now……You need to open up that bible and get to reading! Thank you!
