Needed Prayer for Adrianna

This is a post by Crisha.

My family has known for awhile that my younger sister has been going down the wrong path. But, seeing her hit rock bottom is a powerful blow. Especially when it is Meth.

On Tuesday I sat in Drug Court with my mom and watched a cop bring in my baby sister, in chains, in handcuffs, dressed fully in a Santa Barbara County Jumper. Her normally carvy Italian Body was gone, I've never seen her so thin. And sick. Her olive skin is so pale- her blue eyes were dull, it was as if her spirit had been sucked out of her.

I wasn't ready to see her like that.

There is nothing that can prepare you for something like this. I can't stop thinking about when Adrianna was little. Learning to walk she would follow me everywhere and want to copy "Sissy". When My mom's Ex-husband, (Adrianna & Joe's Dad), was on one of his rampages she would would run to me crying for comfort.

What made her feel like she couldn't do that with this? ...

If only it was that easy to heal her, I wish my hugs could take everything back. I wish when the divorce started to go through I was able to protect my brother and sister. It was my job.

Instead, that vile man who wore sheep cloth of a Father took them from me.

He was- is- perhaps will always be evil. Genuinly, I will not speak in hyperboles.

He hurt my mother, he stole my innocence, he tried to corrupt my brother- broke our family and now has gotten my sister hooked on Meth.

I do wish I could do more- I know God is in control. It is just so scary for me not to be able to fix it. I am completley out of control and can only offer my love, my spirit continually is in prayer.

I need your prayers. There is one God and he can preform miracles, there will be no life without Jesus. Only a slower death. Pray she finds him in this time of need, that the program we're trying to get her enrolled in will work. (Teen Challenge)

Most of all, please pray for her soul and healing.

Thanks. Love, Crish
