The Love of a Sister

so yeah i didn't mean to post anything the other day when I wrote just the... my bad. I was going to write about what's going on but I didn't have the time I thought I did. Anyway, so I have learned a lot about myself lately and it all seems to be because situations that I'm not entirely involved in. It's just interesting to see how families relate to each other but are completely different. All of my family was raised in the church with the same values and same opportunities to live good lives but the results so far are very different. My sisters are the opposites in so many ways but are the same person at the core. They fight like none other and neither one really likes the other at all or agrees with what they are doing in their lives. My older sister isn't active and does very different things than what she was taught by the church, while my little sister is very strong in the church and has a positive attitude when it comes to everything in the church. They are both very social and very kind hearted when it comes to everyone but each other. haha. Sometimes I think that I'm the mediator between them and both of them at the same time. The things I have learned are that I am like my sisters in that I have been in both of their places. I have had problems with listening to the counsels of the church but I have also been very blessed in that I was able to see what I was doing wrong and changed. It's strange to think that there was a time when my sisters were friends and liked one another. Hopefully, if things work out alright, they will be friends again. I don't think that will happen for a long time though. Especially if Brock(the nephew) becomes my little brother. There are things that make me believe that there is possibility of that happening soon with the decisions that my sister is currently making. I only wish my sisters were more similar(in a good way) then there wouldn't be this problem. Then again Brock(the nephew) wouldn't be around. It's sad to think what could have been different but then again we can't ever tell what would have been. I was just called to be a leader over some women who I don't know but they are my sisters. I just hope that I don't have to use the phrase what would have been with this new experience. Hopefully there will be a time when I love these girls as I do my own sisters. I just want to talk to all of them and help them all and solve their problems and their problems to come. That is the one thing I wish for this new year, semester and view that I've obtained, that I will be able to do everything I can to make things good.

Heather! i just obviously read through your blog and the best thing that you can do for your sister is to be a good example and pray for her. She has her agency and you can't make her do anything just keep being the good example that you are and pray for her. The lord is aware of her and you and your entire family. He loves all of you. I love ya lots heather!!!!
