I wanted to post this yesterday but God had other plans. And I certainly don't mind.
Last night, I was writing this but then was called into the living room for a family meeting. We talked about what would happen to us because on Saturday, my great-grandmother, whom we lived with and my mom was taking care of her, passed away. My mom told us the story of how it all happened and it was a very emotional night. Not only because we were sad that she's gone, but also, we were all afraid that we'd have to move out of the house we've lived so comfortably in for 3 years.
Later on in the night, my sister told us some struggles with the family that she's had. The feeling of not being loved and that we're a very sarcastic, joking family and sometimes it hurts or goes too far. I definitely agree with her. My father immediately started to pray for her. Then we all took turns speaking life into her and talking about her gifts and asking God to increase them. There was not a dry eye in the room.
My dad was talking about how Easter is a time of resurrection and new beginnings. And he said that this season will be a new and probably very difficult time for our family, but we have God on our side and we'll pull together and be stronger than ever. I really believe that.
There's a lot more I can say about the evening, but I'll just end saying it was amazing, and even though it hurt to hear all the things my sister had said, I'm glad she did.
