Leaving ....

Well next week I am headed to Ohio for just 2 1/2 days......My sister and her children are moving here to Missouri....her boyfriend of 15 yrs has been mentally and sometimes physically abusive towards her and she now (after many attempts of family talkin to her) she has decided to leave him and move far away to where he can't hurt her anymore. He is a drug user and when he tries to go off them he goes through withdrawals and fights with her, takes it out on the kids, and just is plain old rude in every which way. So finally I got her to admit it's best to leave and give the kids a better life out here. For the first 30 days she will be staying with us....(missouri law for helping in assitance with housing and stuff with her low income) so it'll be nice to have my two nephews and neice here but will be a houseful. That's ok tho it's the price we are willing to pay so that I don't have to wonder everynite if he actually is going to hurt her this time. He has once tried to strangle her before in front of my nephew but he went to rehab and she took him back. Now he has threatened to kill her, the kids and my dad many times and she's had it FINALLY!



Well I know I should have said much but I needed to get it off my chest.....15 yrs is a lot! Pray for me and Blayne as we have rented a minivan to drive to Ohio to pick up the kids and my sister..... We will be leaving Wednesday afternoon and coming back Friday night.



Thanks for listening.....

thanks Jenny! I definitely am putting things in God's control. I hope that once she's here we can be a witness to her and get her life back on track.

Be careful. I hope your sister likes it here. Is your mom back yet? You guys are going to have a house full for sure. I'm sure it will be nice for you to have your family close by.
