My sister is in need!

[Mikeymoto]

Without going into too much detail for the time being, my sister REALLY NEEDS A LOT OF PRAYERS!
Things are really bad between her & her husband. I heard from sis today that he is going off the deep end and talking like some of the psycho's like Christian Longo and others. I told her to call the police and get them involved but she doesn't want to cause problems. The references were like- "If you...its gonna be a blood bath" :shocked:
Please prayer for her safety and guidence through these tough times.

I found it for you!
I lost a sister about a month ago, no it wasn't cancer, or old age, or an auto accident. I wished it had, as then I could find more reason and justification. My sister was murdered back home in Minnesota. No, not by a stranger, but by someone that should have been there to protect her. She was killed by her husband.

Since that day, I've been filled with anger, sadness, even bewilderment. You see, these things happen in the news, in the paper, even on the Internet, but these things don't happen in our own lives, or so I thought. I've gone back and forth, wrestling with this tragic event.

I've had time to think, plenty of time to think while out Springer fishing, and finally came to terms that this loss of mine, I'll never get back, nor will the rest of my family, However, holding steadfast, I realized that maybe there are things I can do. And You can too.

I can raise my daughter to know and understand that she is a person, demanding of respect, raise her to not tolerate the 1st time someone tries to hurt her, either with physical force, or verbal. Not to tolerate people trying to control. Both can be just as degrading. I can raise her to be strong, teach her to confront issues, and not hide from them. Last but not least, I can tell others, too, sit down with your daughters, boys, sisters etc and talk to them. Teach them to be aware of their surroundings, even when those surroundings are as safe as our own homes. Teach them to see the warning signs and to adhere to them.

Lastly, I lost a grandmother in Aug, another in Dec, and a grandfather in Jan, and now, my sister in March. People have asked me, "are you doing ok", "anything I can do", "do you need anything" etc. I am sure you've said the same to people close to you that have suffered a loss. My reply to those asking and to you is.

There is something you can do. Don't take for granted what you have, where you've been or where you’re going. Hold close to you the loved ones in your life, make amends with those that you have created distance. Don't be one of those that wishes you woulda or coulda, be the one that does.

Sincerely
Chris

Please, please pray for her and then do something too. Prayer is not your only tool. Please go get her and get her safe.

[Mikeymoto]

Ok she's out and somewhere safe. We are arranging to get her stuff out soon. We have lots of help and it should go smooth.
Shes been through the divorce thing before, so that part seems easier after you've done it before. It was the threat of violence that sent me over the edge.
I talked with her for quite a while today and she's impressed that you are all praying for her, and we thank you. :smile:
Snowball- I am sorry that you have to bear the pain of the loss of your sister. I hope the authorities do not go lightly on her husband. My prayers are with you also.
I will keep you up to date as things progress, and thank you Don.

Hey Mike, thanks for the email the other day, it helps. I was just going to say that if your sisters husband is in fact dangerous to himself and others, keep an eye out for your own family and your surroundings. Wouldnt hurt to be hyper-alert for awhile, especially if this guy suspects that you helped her. Dont want to freak you out but there have just been too many sad stories lately. Desperate people do terrible and desperate things. I wish the best for your sis and hope she gets all the help she needs to start fresh somewhere else.

[Mikeymoto]

Thanks to Mike and all the rest. Still have some stuff to get, but no problems for her so far.
Thank you,
MM
