yeah, right? this is something that i am struggling with. i have always tried to keep things real here. when bad things happen, i am tempted to gloss over them, because i am a glass half full person and i don’t necessarily want to deal with negative stuff. but that isn’t always the best or most helpful way to handle things. so i’m going to briefly write about what has transpired here this week. first and foremost, i want to write in a way that is respectful to my family and loved ones. it’s a touchy subject, but it’s real life. as you probably know if you have followed my blog for a while, i have a sister who i love very much who suffers from severe depression. if you have a loved one who suffers from this, or if you do, you know what a devastating disease it is. even though i don’t fully understand it, having never had it myself, i do know that it is horrific and real. our family has watched the effects of it on my sister for many years and it kills us. i won’t get into the details of this week, but suffice it to say it’s been a really, really hard week with her disease. she is currently in the hospital waiting for a room to open up at a local facility. i am praying that this new facility will help. praying that her long battle will finally result in a victory for her. i just ask that you would join me in praying for this. i believe that the Lord and the power of prayer are the only answer. thanks so much.
because i am a positive thinking person, most of the time, i want to share something VERY positive and beautiful. someone who makes me smile even when things around me aren’t all rosy. she brightens everything….and her parents are okay too : )
even with a heavy heart, i can smile when i look at these.
my prayer for my sister:
“and the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong and steadfast.” 1 peter 5:10
God bless and keep each of you.
