I lost control of everything, and I know that one thing is for sure..it didn't help my relationship with my sister, who is like my best friend. I recently told her everything I had been going through, and now everything's better. Now I have to tell my Mom. I kept everything from them because I was struggling as being a Christian, and it was hard for me to admit that what I was doing was wrong because I didn't want to stop. It was like my fire for God was completely burnt out. But now it's all getting better slowly but surely, and admitting I was wrong was the first step I had to take. Well,

Like, when you want to go down and dig out the decay even if you know it will hurt, but your brother/sister wants to avoid the hurt and keep the decay?

I have quite a few siblings but I noticed that as much as I get along with most of them my little sister and I can never seem to get along. No matter what we do we wind up fighting. My twin tells me its like we hate each other. I know that I am to blame most of the time but I NEVER want to admit it. I always expect her to apologize for being rude to me. Well now I know that I need to start apologizing for my sins and for what I had to do in the conflict. Thanks for this post. It really helped. Wow this post really helped me alot.

Many times I find myself getting upset at my older sister, and then just letting it build up inside me, instead of talking it out with her. After a while, I'm a volcano waiting to explode, and that just makes things worse. You brought up an excellent point that it takes humility to work things out with your siblings, unfortunatly, I'm sadly lacking in that area. Thanks for sharing!! How true!!

It is true that the LORD has given you the gift of speech, Sarah. I often fight with mainly 3 of my 6 siblings, and I realize that I'm NOT always right, and I need to "be the better man" or take initiative, and solve the problem. But I have a question: My brother, (who's a little less than 2 years younger than me) and I tend to fight a lot. I've tried humbling myself and saying I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, etc., and he just yells at me and says well you should be sorry, yes, you were wrong, you're gonna have to make it up to me, you better never do that again, I can sit wherever I want to, I don't care if it's yours, you have no right to tel me what to do, etc. I've been praying about it for a long time, but I just haven't seen an answer. Any advice? and I will except advice from anyone willing to give it. Love in Christ, Stephanie Wow. It is true that the LORD has given you the gift of speech, Sarah.

That's some wonderful encouragement! I'm trying more and more to just drop my pride and work things out with my sis in some of our (many, but mostly silly) arguments. I'm going to try and look into her perspective of things more. :o) GOD BLESS!! Thanks Sarah! That’s some wonderful encouragement!
