Hey all! Before I ask everyone to pray I want to share a little bit about what I need prayer for. About two years ago my sister's husband was in a automobile accident in which an elderly couple was killed instantly. He was on drugs when it happened. It took about a year, but he was charged with vehicular homicide and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. They have a 4 year old son. They also were living with his parents. By the way my sister was addicted to drugs as well (still is). After the sentencing she got online and began talking to men. She met this one guy who lives in Mexico. He offered her to come live with him. Without hesitation she said yes, and he paid for her to get on a bus from Alabama and moved to Mexico. She left her son with his grandparents and moved to Mexico after three weeks of talking online. I found out after she moved what was going on, and I was furious with her to say the least. I was furious that she left her son, and that she moved to another country to be with a man she didn't even know. I called her, and told her what I thought, and she didn't like it. I did some research and it turns out this guy is from the United States, but he is in Mexico because he is running from the law. I told her, and she didn't care. She "loved" him. This guy also got her addicted to even more drugs. Fast forward to ten months later I get a call from my younger brother last Saturday. He tells me that she left him, and came across the border. He bought her a hotel room so she would be safe. He asked me if I would be willing to drive my car, and us go pick her up. He cannot drive because he has a disability. I hesitated because this wasn't the first time she has pulled a stunt like this. I have bailed her out several times of situations, and I didn't know if I wanted to do it again.
Something though that was bothering me is that if something happened to her, and I didn't do anything about it I would feel like it was my fault, and I didn't want anything to happen to her. I told him yes. Where we were going is a very dangerous part of Southern Texas (3 miles from the Mexico). A lot of drugs and violence occur in this area. I drove with my brother 17 hours (without sleep) to go pick her up. We picked her up and I drove another 17 hours (again with no sleep) back. I told her I would never do anything like this ever again. If she pulled another stunt like this she would have to figure out a way back home herself. When I saw her though I was instantly worried. She looked terrible. She is 34 and she looks like she is in her 60's. She has hepatitis, and cirrosis of the liver, and she probably only weighs like 90 pounds. She looked 100 times different 10 months ago. She actually looked her age back then, and now she doesn't. I could tell that she is really sick.
I ask that you pray for her, and her situation. Pray that she comes to know the Lord, and stop searching attention from all these men. Their are other stories I could get into, but it would make this post too long, and their is no reason to get into all of that. I just want her well, and I want her to know the Lord.
