It's like magic...but it's not. It's Him.

I don't even know how to start this post.

I'll just start by saying that my sister, Kristen (who I've recently mentioned here on my blog), has struggled with lesbianism for at least the last four years. There was a year that this lifestyle separated her from us and slowly tore her from Christ. I cannot say the number of prayers that were prayed or tears that were shed for this choice and her struggle.

In the last year, she came back to our family though still struggling with homosexuality.

However, yesterday she asked me to come alongside her as she tries to renew her relationship with Christ. I could only hope at what this really meant. Of course I whole heartedly agreed to do whatever she needed to help her.

Then today she asked me to meet her for coffee. I tried not to have raised hopes and prayed to God to give me His words and His unconditional love for her. As we started talking, she told me that she is/has turned away from that lifestyle and wants to feel God in her life again.

Can you imagine!!!!? Can you imagine how my heart melted and exploded at the same time in the joy of the Lord! He called her name when she had turned away. And He has not let her go! And what did I need to do/say to bring this about? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It is all Him. He has already done the work. He loves her more than anyone in this world could and His heart belongs to her.

We talked about things I never would have approached. She invited me into her heart. I can't say what that means to me.

I have my sister and best friend back. A year ago, I never would have believed that this would happen. I prayed but my faith was weak.

God is good. God is faithful. God is love. God is God.

All praise and glory to Him, forever and ever.
