Good-bye, Summer...I'm sorry to see you go. :o(

I have a sister....*update*

Things are bleak, however, not as touch and go as I originally was led to believe. It was not my intention to paint a false picture of what is going on with her and I apologize for not getting the facts perfectly clear before I posted. I ask for your forgiveness....

Time is short, to be sure, but not imminent. The condition of her body is horrific and I will spare the details. I would say we have days or weeks...perhaps months, but certainly less than a year.

My decisions are difficult ones. Do I go see her while there is time? Or, do I allow myself the luxury of my last memories of her be from the days of my mom's passing when she was still looking healthy?

I know the answer...And I wish I didn't....

I have a sister...She is my big sister by six years. I don't talk about her much, for her story is very sad...Her whole life has revolved around a toilet and a scale. My sister is bulimic and anorexic and the toll this disorder has ravaged upon her body is about to be paid. She is now laying in a hospital bed breathing her last breaths. Her kidneys gave out long ago, so dialysis was a routine in her life. Her teeth rotted from her mouth, so false ones needed to be created. Her muscles deteriorated so she is unable to walk. Since I was a teen, this has been all I remember of my sister.

Family dynamics are difficult. I dread the days to come...

My prayer: Jesus...Draw me ever nearer...

All I Have Is Christ from Sovereign Grace Ministries on Vimeo.

I once was lost in darkest night

Yet thought I knew the way.

The sin that promised joy and life

Had led me to the grave.

I had no hope that You would own

A rebel to Your will.

And if You had not loved me first

I would refuse You still.

But as I ran my hell-bound race

Indifferent to the cost

You looked upon my helpless state

And led me to the cross.

And I beheld God’s love displayed

You suffered in my place

You bore the wrath reserved for me

Now all I know is grace.

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ

Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone

And live so all might see

The strength to follow Your commands

Could never come from me.

Oh Father, use my ransomed life

In any way You choose.

And let my song forever be

My only boast is You.
