It was Easter Sunday yesterday. It is the glorious day where Christ rose from the dead and gave us perfect hope. Have you ever had a time where you try to show others and even have this ideal thought in your mind that your family is the perfect family and yet you know that on a daily basis this could be farther from the truth? Meaning, even though it is Easter Sunday, and even though we're Christians, and even though we just came from Church, we react in ways that are not so holy. We're still human and that is what I want to tell the world. Life happens but the good news is there is hope and we don't have to react in the same way as we used to.
I love my sister, but she is one of the difficult people to love at this time in my life. I am sure I was the same way not so long ago, but God had changed my heart and changed my ways and still continues to change me. Usually when my sister goes into a self destructing mode, she also destroys anyone and anything around her. I know, because I did the same thins. Usually I would step in and speak up but in the past this had lead to matters escalating. I resolved that I could not sleep until she exhausts herself and until she goes to sleep, so I went upstairs. As I hear hear scream and wail, cursing at my parents and the breaking of glass, I begin to write to God. I prayed as I wrote and after two hours the storm subsided and I had sought God in the wrote process. When I seek Him in the most difficult of times, times of temptation and trials, He gives me the peace, grace and strength to press on until sure enough at the right time He comes to the rescue.
