My sister

[Swordguy]

That's just it, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't talk to her. She'll throw it in my face if I even hint at trying.

i know the fealing my little bro is just the same way i do what i can and just keep him in prayer i know God is the only one who change a person.

Hi Spirit Wolf 8356!

Hum, I'll be praying for your family. Ultimately though it will be up to them and your sister to become closer and take care of any un-resolved issues. but I'll continue to pray. Where-ever two or more are gatherd right?

I'm glad you becoming closer to God however amonst all this. I think your learning early on that the relatioship between you and God is directly that, it's between you and God. and though people whom you love and admire may faulter and bring you down, your relashipship with Him still stand strong because they are not apart of that relationship. And now that it's bringing you closer, He will seem to speak louder to you, and you'll soon see you'll become mre sensitive to the spirit and things around you. all you have to do is listen and obey, and pay no mind to the events around you but to what God asks of you.

Hopefully, your attitude will rub off on your parents and this whole matter can be settled and done with. But just remember to stay stong no matter what, your parents and your sister have free-will, so they can choose to do whatever they wish, there really isn't anything you can do to control that. But you can pray and talk with them, heed Gods word and allow Him to talk through you, and have comfort that whatever happens, it's a part of God's master plan and He has your best interest to heart.

I hope this helps some, and I'll continue to pray.
God Bless,
Archan

[animefreak09]

I'll pray for her for you.

[Rogie]

I'll continue to pray.

[Iona]

Things aren't getting better then...I'll keep praying, if you ever need to let all that frustration out, feel free. We'll be here for you.

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

Again, I hate to drag this up from page 2, but I have more to add.

Things are going a little bit better. There's not arguing constantly and they get along a little better. But there's still no trust flowing between them and when they do argue, it's pretty bad.

I ask that you pray for my dad to keep his temper. He's got a hugely bad one and he goes off with the slightest provocation. Please pray that he learns to keep it a little better.

I defintely want to take a moment out of this and thank all of you who have been so supportive and thank you so much for your prayers. You have no idea how much it means to me.

[Iona]

Hey, there's no need to apologize. I, especially love to hear updates, so I can pray for the current needs. I'll keep praying for as long as it takes.
btw, how are you feeling about everything now?

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

I'm actually feeling a lot better now. Thank you very much for asking, Iona. ^_^

[Jman]

I'll deffinitly Pray,
Thats gotta be rough.

[true_noir_chloe]

I have neglected the prayer thread so much. Man, Spirit_Wolf, you've been going through so much. *HUG* I have to totally agree with Archan, he hit the nail on the head.

I'm glad you'll be doing this study. May God work wonders in your life.

I'll keep praying for you and your family and sister.

BTW, are your parents saved?

[Anna Mae]

I will continue to pray for the situation.

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

'Nother update.

*sigh* Things are not going so well. They could be going worse, yes, but they could be better, so I guess I shouldn't really complain too much. Things have the potential to explode again. There's so much tension in my house right now.

It's really starting to wear on me. I don't have anyone I can really talk to anymore. (Except God, who is always fun to talk to, but I feel like I complain too much to Him when I should let it go and trust Him to work it out in His time.) TwilightKiss is now in Florida, where I can't talk to her as much and everyone else who knows about this is here, and my computer is not in a good place for me to sit and talk this out with people. (It's right in our living/dining room and if my parents knew that I was telling everyone this, I hate to say it, but I might be in trouble. They don't like people knowing about our problems, but we need the prayer.) So basically, it's getting very stressy for me again. With school being in and all this stress going on at home, I'm not sleeping well and my grades are...going to drop, I know.

*sigh again* I gotta stop complaining so much.

[Jaltus-bot]

I keep your family in prayer regularly.

[Anna Mae]

Wow, that must be really hard. I wish I had some profound word of wisdom, or some scripture to reassure you, but all I can really say is "I'll keep praying."

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

Things have exploded. I'm not going to go into great detail, but it's pretty bad, and not in a yelling anger kinda way. It's more like a quiet seething, snappy comments kinda thing.

My mom is thinking of taking my sister to a psychiatrist. My sister can totally change her attitude in the blink of an eye. In like, no time flat, she can be totally off the handle angry at you, changing from being all sweet a second before. She's always been like this, but my mom things something might be mentally wrong.

I'm very glad to be doing the Beloved Disciple Bible study right now. If I weren't I don't know where I'd be, because I was doing one of the devotions last night and God totally gave me something to comfort me. And this morning, when I wasn't even looking, He gave me something else. ^_^ He never ceases to amaze me.

[Rogie]

Amen, He is wonderful. I'll continue to pray!

[Iona]

I'm glad to hear it. I'll keep praying.

[termyt]

We are here for you, as much as we can be.

Grace and Peace to you, Spirit Wolf.

[Madeline]

Jesus, put Your loving hand on Spirit's sister. Keep her safe from harm and show her where she is faltering in her walk with You. Put in her heart a desire to learn Your ways and Your law, and to do what is right.
You love her and want the best for her. Please show her every minute of the day how much You love her, and how much her sister and her family loves her. Please give Spirit the strength and the wisdom to deal with this situation in the way You would want her to. May she be a guide and a witness to her sister, and may You open Your child's heart to what Spirit is trying to show her. Grant them both peace about the matter, that they would not quarrel but instead teach and build each other up. Amen.

[christianfriend]

I will pray also....for her and her boyfriend..

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

I'm actually pretty sure their not dating anymore, which is great.

Things have calmed down since my last update. Again, far from over, so please, keep praying.

*tackle hugs everyone* Thank you so much for all your prayers! I hugely appreciate it!

[Anna Mae]

Glad to hear it. You'll continue to be in my prayers.

[Mave]

I guess I'm a little late ^_^;;; , but I shall pray for you as well.

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

Again, and update and a yanking back from 3 pages buried...

Things have gone drastically downhill again.

I just got off the phone with my mom and she said that she was thinking about packing mine, hers and my sister's bags tonight and leaving. My sister has a friend over, so the option is out, but it's still bad to hear. Dad is already saying that he's going to sleep somewhere out of the house tongiht because he can't stay in the same house as my sister.

He keeps making things worse on everyone. I'm in no way trying to pin this on my dad, but he's...a big part of the problem...almost as big a part as my sister. He keeps calling my sister names. Bad ones. He keeps yelling at mom like it's her fault, when she's doing everything she can. He's given up on the entire situation. I'm the only person in the house he'll speak to with any decency. It puts me in what I feel like is a very bad situation.

My sister, like my dad, is not helping matters any either. She is quite constantly telling my dad she hates him. She's told everyone in the house she hates them at one point, but she tells it to him more often than not. She keeps doubting the fact that Mom loves her. She keeps doing all these stupid things that keep making things worse. She's hanging out with the worst people in the neighborhood. And they're all boys. Rumor was even spreading for awhile from one of her old friends that she slept with one of them, which she fervently denies, but...how can we trust her?

Which is where Mom comes in. Mom is constantly going through my sister's stuff when she's not around, making sure she's not doing anything, but really, if she wanted to hide it, she could. Mom is on the verge of having a mental breakdown. It's very hard to see her struggling so hard to keep everything together, only to have it thrown back in her face.

I'm just trying to stay out of everyone's way and trust God. Trying very very hard. Succeeding most of the time, but other time's not so well, on both counts.

[Hitokiri]

Sounds ugly spirit-wolf. I will defiently pray for your sister, father, mother, and you as well.

I know exactly how you feel. I have a rebellious, wilf young sister that drives us 3 (my mom, dad, and myself) up the walls and every nigh tis usually a argument between them usually making everything worse than it orginally was. Like my sister didn't want to take a shower after volleyball practice cause she thinks it's boring. Thus it turned into a big fiasco which ended up her being grounded for 3 days (her calling my parents names, kicking me in the face, breaking a plate, hitting one of our dogs is a few examples of why she was grounded) and for those three miserable days. She held a grudge on us every second. She actually deleated one of my folders containing a whole bunch of important projects I've been doing but luckly I recovered them. She did that just cause I asked her how her day was and she htought I was rubbing it in her face that she was grounded

However, my family has patience and we trust God my sister will calm down and stop bieng so over-dramatic.

All we can do right now is pray and trust God. I don't know how your family situation is, if they're Christians or not. But just trust in God and pray. Maybe the best thing is some seperation to calm nerves. A sad and awful thought but maybe that's God intervening in the situation. Like I said I will defiently pray for you family, your trust in God and your sister.

[Swordguy]

i will contune to pray for you

[Anna Mae]

Wow. I'll definately continue to pray for the situation. Hang in there!

[Spirit_Wolf8356]

Okay, I know this is like, a huge grave-dig, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread and have to explain things all over again. Forgive, please.

Anyway, yesterday, one of my sister's friends told their school counselor that my sister was suicidal. Which isn't entirely true, but isn't entirely false either. She mainly acts like that to get things out of my parents. (Like a tongue peircing, for example, which they haven't let her do...)

So now we have to go to counseling...or they do, I don't know about me, but probably.

My dad is...really angry...He was on the verge of calling the police last night and have her taken away. If he does that, something will be done, cuz it wouldn't be the first time the police have been called and hung up on from our house about this thing. He kept sayind last night my sister was going to give him a heart attack, and as soon as I left for college, he would be leaving.

My mom is going to have a nervous breakdown if something doesn't change soon. She's trying really hard, but there isn't any help to be had from my dad, and I don't know what to do to help, not that there really is anything I can do to begin with.

Me...I'm just trying to stay sane....I really have no idea what I'm doing....

[agasfas]

I haven't really replied ealier but I have been keeping up w/ the thread and it's quite the situation. It's odd how people will do stupid things just to get their way. I've done it myself... I wish your sister knew that there are reasons for why parents say, "yes, no or maybe." It's not because they are doing it just to be spitful but because they generally know better. I hope that eventually that both your sister and parents will be able to come to an understanding, to get everything out in the open as calm as possible... because fighting about issues usually makes the kid go out and do it anyways, just in spite

Anyways, I'll be praying for your whole family and that you remain calm through this ordeal.

[Anna Mae]

I'm still praying.
