So to
i feel so much shame to say it, but it's been several months since i've last seen them.
and i WAS contemplating whether i would go to pay a visit or not
but I'm beyond glad that i did.
upon arrival, i was so taken back at my baby sister's reaction.
my BUM sister (that's a toddler) turned and went back to sleep after seeing me!
but it was hilarious.
anyway..
so here's how it went down.
i got to the house and i walk in.
and my baby sister's awake and the bum's asleep.
my baby sister, when i walk in has this offended and pained look all-throughout her
but she can't help but embrace me.
and i can't help but hold her.
it's been too long
we embrace. i hold her and kiss her.
she's quiet. she's holding back tears.
she didn't make a noise for ...i don't know how long
and it made me feel such sorrow and love for this girl
but she is AWESOME.
she's SO cute.
and my aunt and cousin are telling me about her
they talk about all the cute things she does. she's quirky and so awesome.
[sidenote: they don't know that i'm a Jesus Freak..i'm working at it though.]
BUT!
the thing that EXCITED me..
when they say the customary islamic greeting to her,
she says, "hello"
JUST LIKE I DO.
YES. SCORE.
PRAISE JESUS.
So, embracing her, i speak to her as though we're both psychics.
I say...or think..to her, rather, "Jesus loves you so much. and i want you to love Him too. i love you so much."
I love this girl and i NEED to see her more often.
this girl, i PRAY will grow to LOVE the Lord.
daddy would be proud of her.
God,
Thank You so much for urging me to see my sisters today
I love them both so much
I pray that emaan and jeenan both grow as wonderful women of Your Holy Name.
I LOVE YOU, GOD. and i want my sisters to LOVE You too.
i HOPE one day to spend eternity with You alongside them.
You are worthy, amazing and so loving.
and because Your love is BETTER than life,
my lips will glorify you -- for as long as i live.
Blessed be Your Name.
-simon. Your humble servant.
