Ryan, When I read this I think about your teaching at church on royalty and I pray that Amie learns who she really is in Christ — a princess and a saint. Because that is a transformimg, life-changing message.

Much luck and many blessings to Amie and your family on this road to recovery. With God, we all have the power to make amazing things out of bad.

Thanks for this update. It reminded me to pray for her. I think she’s lovely, and I pray and hope that her life will turn around for the better, for good. BR/I’m glad you broke the rules and took a picture, even though I’m very much a rule follower, seeing her made the story more meaningful. I can’t believe that happened to her…it’s so unfathomable to me in my soccer mom life to think of scenes like that–things one watches in movies, but it’s really happening out there somewhere to someone’s sister.BR/Anyway, I look forward to more updates about your sister. Let her know I’m praying for her!

This is probably going to sound weird but here goes….your sister has beautiful fingers. Strange, I know but it’s one of those things I notice about people. I always try to find something beautiful in everyone.BR/BR/PS: you’re a good brother

I am so happy that you were able to visit your sister. My brother was recently in prison and it’s not an easy thing to do. BR/BR/Cow skin? Really? I’ve never heard of that. BR/BR/Shot!? Holy moly she’s chosen a tough road. She is in my prayers.

Awesome post. Her eyes are so clear and focused. My stepdaughter finally managed to see her brother tonight, in jail for the 4th time. Just remember you can love the sinner and still hate the sin. My prayers will always be for her and for you. May you both find peace with her past life, and may it stay in the past!

I enjoy your blog. But I am new to it, and not familir yet with her history, so perhaps this is not her first stint in jail–but I hope that the forced time helps her decide to stick to recovery for good. You’re a good brother, and I wish you all the best.

Sounds like this is shaping up to be a great story, Ryan. I personally know a little about dealing with addiction in a loved one’s life, and I also know how crazy it can make people surrounding the addict.BR/BR/You are walking-out a brave and giving yet long road with this young lady.BR/BR/Prayers your way.

I’m not a big reader, at least not “self help” or “lesson” type things. But I do love to glean from easier reads like fiction. I found some healing from reading and relating with Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers…so if she prefers novels (with a message). There’s my two cents.BR/BR/I’m so sure you are gonna hear “Well Done…” when you get HOME.
