Relations

I hold a strong value on the relationships God has given me.  I have a pretty close knit relationship with my mother. We have a very different type of relationship than the typical mother- daughter dynamic. For most of my life she has struggled with alcoholism, depression and suicidal tendencies, as well cancer. Five years ago my father and her divorced, and thanks be to God she is no longer an alcoholic. I have seen God work miracles, and restore her spiritual health. She is a great inspiration to me, and is my best friend. On mother’s day my mom bought me a happy mother’s day card, so it is safe to say that although the roles are a little skewed we love one another and uplift each other.  I have three siblings, two younger brothers and an older sister. My little brothers (eleven and sixteen), look up to me. Sometimes I wish they didn’t because I wish I had more answers. My youngest brother Tommy (the eleven year old), is very hungry for Jesus and has so many questions, he is my inspiration. . My older sister is twenty two and she just moved in. This is the first time since I was eleven that she has lived with me. She has been lost; she has been used, and wounded for the past seven years. She now has a four year old son, and is struggling . She is lost. She needs Jesus. We all need Jesus. I want to be a light to my broken family and to this fallen world. God has put me in a very crucial place. My nephew calls my car the Jesus car because it has a sticker on the back window. I pray that God will use me in little ways like so to bring those that need him close. I have a very small group of friends, but I love them with all my heart. God has also blessed me with an amazing man of God as my boyfriend, Vincent Christensen who I love with my whole heart, willingly,selflessly, and fearlessly.
