Author	Thread: Should I be concerned?
icaretoo View Profile History	Should I be concerned? Posted : 17 Jan, 2015 06:13 PM My sister is older than I. For most of my sister's life she has been kind of rebel. She still likes to go out and drink and smoke. My dad tries to run a God-fearing house but because she's older she says she will do what she wants to do. She has given our house phone # out and address out to guys she's met online and they have met her here at our house. I feel that my dad's and I prosperity has been hindered by her life style. I know we are under grace and truth but, I think she's pushing it a bit. She tells me I should mind my own business and quit trying to run her life and control hers. She tells total strangers I think I am her boss and the older sister. They look embarrass when she goes on and on. I just shake my head. I know she's looking to start an argument. I tell her she is risking our family lives but she don't think so. I am desperate to move out and get my own place and will do in soon. Should I be worried or concerned. I have put her in God's hands and ask for His mercy concerning her and asked God to touch her heart. Icaretoo Post Reply
Hisjoymypeace View Profile History	Should I be concerned? Posted : 17 Jan, 2015 10:24 PM My sister...can I be honest? Concerned yes, but worried... absolutely not!!! Humor me for a moment child of God(smile)!! Your sister has made it abundantly clear that she is grown and will live her life as she chooses! OK I completely get your CONCERN when dealing with her disruptive behavior and it's affect on yours and your father's walk in integrity and moral uprightness, but the reality my friend is this...she is still your sister and unfortunately we don't have a choice in this life as to who are families will be soooo, you are really only obligated to love her unconditionally and pray unceasingly for the perfect, not permissive will of The Lord to manifest in and thru her life...period!! Be there for her when she needs you and if you now feel that the time is right for you to seek other living arrangements...well, God's best to you in your search!! Do what you have to do(smile)!!! But IMHO...you can only take care, protect and nourish your relationship with The Lord first, so that you ultimately can be a blessing to your sister and to other members of your family whenever The Lord does instruct you to do so! My prayer for you and yours is that the peace and comfort you can only find in and thru Christ Jesus, give the guidance, direction and strength you'll need to do whatever it takes to first be an effective and available vessel to and for the kingdom of Heaven, so that you truly can be that blessing to whomever The Lord places in your life, in this earth!! May His grace be sufficient!! God's best to you in your endeavors! Post Reply
