Family and Reflections

I have one brother and three sisters. My brother is the oldest and my youngest sister is only 21 months older than me, which makes me the baby. I have four incredible nephews and two adorable nieces I am very thankful for that my Lord has blessed me with. The oldest is a boy and he just turned 13. I can't believe he's that old. The youngest is a niece and she is almost six moths old. I don't have any younger siblings so I don't experience much tension usually shared between an older and younger sibling. I understand somewhat when my nephews and nieces come over what my sister (who is just a little older than me) goes through daily and has gone through in the past with me. God has been gracious in allowing me to see this while also admiring my sister for her endurance and patience with me over the years. She has been an example to me as an older sister and sister in christ. I have also been blessed with a godly mother and father that share experiences with me and guide me through my life showing me how to become a godly woman. I fail at times and stumble. I'm not perfect. My biggest struggle is with honoringmy parents the way I should. It's something I have to work at daily. The Lord has given me many older women in my church I have been able to look at and follow their counsel as well. I struggle but hopefully my life is going forward and my walk with Christ should be progressing steadly. Others should be able to see my sanctification even when I don't speak of my love for Christ aloud. This is a convicting thought because I know that while attending my local community college the fear of man creeps into my heart so easily. If I am not prepared it seeps in and before I know it the fear to speak aloud about Christ is being surpressed by my desire to please others. Those of you who may read this and are believersI ask for your prayers. That I may become more like Christ.
