Just talking

We buried my aunt on Monday. My brother-in-law came and got me on Sunday so that I could be at the funeral since my truck is broke down. It has been a very stressful few days.

My mother was already staying at my sister's RV. She started in on me the second I walked in the door. Everything about me was wrong including the dress I had brought to wear to the funeral. I so rarely wear a dress and once again I fooled myself into believing that she would be pleased since she is always telling me that I need to be more ladylike. Boy was I wrong.

I went to the funeral home to see my aunt and ran into some of her grandchildren there. This family is so dysfunctional and I am talking about my family, for generations, not just my aunts. It hurts me to see what these kids have done with their lives, to themselves. Please keep them in your prayers. Several of the grandkids and great grandkids are in the pen and couldn't come to the funeral. Pray for them as well.

One of my aunts was never reached I guess because she wasn't there. Of course my uncle is also in the pen and couldn't come. As far as I know my mother and my aunt Louise were the only two that were even speaking to each other, the others are all estranged from one another. My mom and her siblings what is left of them, are not getting any younger and there needs to be healing here. Please pray for them.

Please keep my cousin, my aunts only surviving child, in your prayers. She was saved a couple of years ago but she struggles daily. This has hit her very hard.

I saw my sister, the one who hasn't spoken to me in over four years. I guess you could say I sort of forced the issue. I put her on the spot in front of a lot of people at the funeral by asking her to join my mother, my other sister and myself. At first she refused but then she finally came and sat with us. After the funeral she, her daughter and her grandson came to eat with us and later came to my sister's to visit. Before she left, I told her that I love her. She has avoided me since she did some really bad things to me in November of 2001 but I won't allow Satan to destroy my family like He has done prior generations.

God is so good! My aunt is with Jesus and there has been some healing in my family due to her passing. It is a shame that it takes something this drastic to get some people to open their eyes.

Please pray for my mom. She has so much unforgiveness in her heart. She was furious that my sister joined us as she holds much against her including the things that she did to me. She refused to speak to her other sister at the funeral because they have been at odds for some years now. I am concerned for her soul.

I returned home only to have a tooth start to abcess. Satan is attacking me from every angle. Please keep me in your prayers. God is working in my life and I must be doing something right or Satan wouldn't be bothering with me.

I thank God for all of you, for you are the family that I can turn to at times like this. He has always provided me with a Christian family such as you to stand in the gap that was left by the birth family that was not, is not capable of being here for me. I praise Him, for He is faithful

Lord,

Please reveal to all of the spirits in this family that births, weddings, funerals, are all times that can be very revealing as to what pains still need mending.[image]

Soften their hearts Lord, and plant in them a desire to allow You to mend these relationships.

Amen

Thank you, little sister. My family needs so much healing. I pray that they will open their eyes before it is too late. There are several family members that I believe God is allowing extra time just so that they will tend to the bitterness and unforgiveness in their lives.
