My sister was strung out on meth for a few years. It's a long story, but, the basics,
During that time I was a hardcore alcoholic. The Lord kept talking to me relentlessly. Needless to say I was delivered from it. It concerned me more to get sober after I found out my sister was strung out on meth.
I wanted to help her, but what could I say to her? I was drunk.
My sister showed up at my house with her kids, some strange dude driving a pickup with all their stuff in the back. So, I made her get rid of the dude. I let the kids stay at the house and set my sister up in a hotel room for a few days. I always hated tweekers and didn't trust them, especially when my family is sleeping. (Tweekers don't sleep and tend to go on weird "adventures" no telling what can happen).
Anyway,, I wouldn't let my sisters kids go back with her. I contacted every family member I could to get her help and see if anyone could keep the kids. There were many but the way it would be done kidknapping charges would be brought up. So, we kept them and contacted DHS. For some idiot reason they had to go back to their home town since their school already filed a report with DHS. So they went to my Aunt and Uncles up there. Eventually DHS took them and placed them in foster homes.
Now all 3 kids are with their natural fathers. (each one has a different father) I'm not sure how they're doing I don't know where 2 of them are and 1 is in El Paso Texas.
My sister is in prison on a 5 year note. She's due to be out in about a year and a half if everything goes well.
Right before this all started happening I got a flash in my mind. "Somethings going to happen and it's going to be hard. But it will turn out for the good." (not exact words, I can't put what I "heard" into words) About a week or two all this started happening.
I got a letter from my sister while she was in Jail awaiting her transfer to a prison. She was in for about a year an a half I guess. I heard she had some charges and was locked up. The letter she wrote me spoke of being delivered from meth and expressing sorrow for being a "bad mom" and repentence and what not. She used words that only a saved person would use. Today I got a card from her, and I truely am humbled. I don't ever speak to people about Jesus the way she did in this. I can preach or teach or debate and argue, but I never realy truely glorify the Lord so openly and blatantly. Here's what she wrote.
So, seems to me, this is great! She's clean, and praising the Lord and seems full of joy even though she's locked up.
I was going to see her but we had a nice little blizzard. So, I've only got the 2 letters to guage with. I'm hopefull,
and I know my little sis, and she would never never never, use words like that. She's a horrible liar, but she's always been
loving and loyal to me. Growing up all we had was eachother so we're very close.
So, ending this ultra personal post. I hope others that know someone who's addicted or strung out on drugs or alcohol can have mercy, and have faith that the Lord does deliver and the Lord does hear your prayers.
I hope that if anyone reads this and is strung out on drugs or alcohol knows, that the Lord hears your prayers too! And He aches to deliver you as much as you ache to not be addicted!
Blessings to all who read this.
