My old best friend

My sister used to be my best friend.
Before I went to school and before I was able to meet other people I had my sister.
Everyday she would play with me. My memory is really fuzzy, I can't remember what we did but I do remember the feelings. Joy, pure joy everyday. We would play together everyday, eat together and it was awesome. Eat, play, sleep.

I remember when my Aunt and Uncle(Warren and Vinson's parents) were moving out. My parents and I were helping them. We loaded up everything and were about to leave when I noticed that my sister wasn't coming with us. Maybe it was because I though we were all moving together but I couldn't shake the thought that we were leaving behind my sister. I was extremely upset.
She told me she was just going to school, no where far. I didn't listen, I thought I would loose her forever for some crazy reason. I cried on the ride to my aunts new house and cried until we got back to ours. Cried myself to sleep. I was a very emotional child.
But of course, the next morning I was playing with my sister again.

Its funny. God does weird things. I been praying for sister and family for six or seven years now. I've questioned weather or not God would save them. I've freaked out about them going to hell and fell down on my knees in prayer. Begging, pleading, hoping. Kinda like how I was worried about leaving my sister behind when I was younger. But God has a plan.
I am the gateway for God in my family as many of you guys are to yours. God will use you. Yes, Y-O-U. Tell your parents things like "God says he loves you", "God told me to tell you that I love you mom". Back your statements with action. Weather its giving them a massage after a long days work, making dinner or helping out around the out. Even saying welcome home or hello every time they come back home. This has been extremely effective with my mom and dad. My mom has been asking me questions every now and then about church and God. although not saved yet they are getting curious. The bible says "Seek me and you will find me, when you seek Me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13. My mom is begging to seek.
God has not forgotten about my family and has definitely not forgotten about yours.

Come Back

I wanna have a passion again.
I wanna see you Jesus, to have you as the lead and head of my life.
I am trapped by my own laziness. I do not know how. I wanna see you more, seek you daily.
Remind me God. Remind me.

One of those days

God, you are my strength. Help me get through.
I am tired and weak.
Help me God. Send helper for me.
Its been getting tough to care for my grandma again.
Amen
