Not all blog posts are fun and nice to read, and this is probably the first post I'm going to write with a heavy heart. Its so hard that putting a title to this write up is the last thing I will write.
This is me writing as a daughter.
Let me start by saying that I love my parents and siblings so much that I am deeply affected by recent happenings in our family. We've supported each other in every situation and we will keep it that way.
Our eldest is being challenged financially and so pressured that he turned to doing crazy things (like drugs). It doesn't help that he hangs out with people who don't encourage him. The whole family is concerned and just like what we did before, we will support him by pointing him to the right direction. And we will continue to hold on to God's promise:
"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living" - Psalm 27:13
This is the real world with real problems. There are fun times and there are bad times, ups and downs. BUT what's good is that we have an unchanging God. His promises and our destiny don't change. As I was worshipping this morning, He reminded me of how sovereign He is, that He can weave my brother's past, present and future so that he will fulfill his great purpose. It is so great that the enemy is really trying his best to ruin his life and his family. Well, I have news for the enemy. We will not back down, but we will remain strong in the Lord. Jesus Christ has won the battle for us 2000 years ago when He died on the cross.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" - Ephesians 6:12
To all my friends who follow this blog, I hope you can include my concern in your prayers. And to those I haven't met but can relate to this post, I hope you are encouraged.
