The How... 2 weeks ago

So I realized this was worth adding to my list last year but just recently figured out he how. It’s not picking up the check when we go out or calling and texting just to say hi. We do all those things but I realize my role is greater. As her sister and friend, the greatest way I can be “better” is to live a life that is sold-out for Christ and be a better example to my sister. I think I will start by doing things like inviting her over more, sending her books, cards, etc. And I think I’ll buy her a bible very soon…

Its the small things... 1 month ago

Today I texted my brother to ask him a silly question (what was his best time running a 5K) and we ended up talking for a while, albeit through text (but what can you expect, he’s 16). I asked him if he heard that I got my grades back and he said “Yeah, mom said you got a 4.0 or something like that” and I told him to not be upset. He may be smart but he doesn’t always make Honor Roll. He told me he isn’t upset and that he was proud of me. I was so happy I just wanted to cry. I told him that he and my other brother are the best brothers anyone could ever hope for and that it really means a lot to me that he can be proud of me. I told him that he should never feel like he needs to follow in my footsteps. _ I love my brothers. I’m trying to be a better sister. I think this is a step in the right direction.

I have two sisters, I started doing this already though since my older sister and I have grown a tiny bit closer these past months with the wedding coming and all. As of next month all three of us sisters will live in different states, I need to learn to keep in touch so much better than I have ‘till now.

Re-connected in B-lo. 4 months ago

We met up back home – a great place to catch up and stay caught up. We’ve managed to stay much more in touch since I made this goal, and I’m going to consider it done. She was my fourth phone call when I found out about Cornell, and that’s a sign of marked improvement.

So 5 months ago

my brother called me once on Thursday (“So I just pulled out the Bible highlighters you got me for Christmas, and I realized I hadn’t talked to you in two months!! So I was trying to fix that…”) and again on Friday (no message) and I am sad that we still haven’t been able to make contact yet! I am going to be in his town next weekend, though, so maybe we can find time for a lunch or something (unless he has a Valentine?!! what if he is dating someone?!! no way, he’s probably going to marry his high school sweeetheart. and probably do it before i get married. because i am not the marrying type, i have been told).

Regardless,

I did call him back and message him on facebook. So hopefully we will get something set up soon!

He’s my only sibling, and I want to make sure we can always count on one another. <3

Younger Sister 5 months ago

I’m the younger sister. We’re 9 years apart. She’s married with 2 beautiful children. Before her marriage, we shared the same room for 16 years. It was frustrating at times but now 7 years later, and myself moved out of the parents home as well, I really miss spending time with her.

Spent all afternoon with my sis helping her print some photos for the impending wedding. Felt good to help out just for the sake of it as she could have managed on her own. She seemed to appriciate it as well.
