Well this is what I decided. First of all I am giving the 500 dollars as she will be in jail for a fact as she has an ongoing case. But I am telling her I will not help her any more financially with irresponsibility. Her whole life is one of not paying bills nor working and asking others. I do emotionally help her am always helping financially but it is not doing good. She goes right back to living above means bouncing checks needing to have free money. I counsel her yet she does not change. So I am praying God will help her understand. I will give 500 doll so she is out on bail till the case is ongoing but she needs to truly want to make her ways straight.she is living way above means and not working by choice not out of not finding work. Well anyhow I can tell you all don't want to hear. Sorry for bothering you. But please pray for me in this. I am seriously wanting God and his ways.

It is not my family that pressed larceny charges. A friend of hers family that thought she was taking adantage of the friend. Her bouncing checks is always me or someone in my family. If I do not lend the 500 where she is facing charges out with bail she gets a year in jail. Amt she needs is 500 dol. I told her that I can lend the 500 dol but will not do this again. Just want her not in jail while most of the charges are false the family put upon her. She admits to no wrongdoing. Her wrongdoing is bouncing checks and manipulating people to give. Well anyhow I hae no power to settle with the family as it is not my family and I definitely do see she has guilt of financial manipulation. A lawyer is her best bet and honesty but a true change in lifestyle. I just don't want her in jail for christmas and thanksgiving so lending one last time 500. Many of her charges are false drummed up by the family of her disabled friend because she always asks for money and they don't like her high lifestyle and no work.

Ok I will explain better. My sister has a habit of not wanting to work. So she will work under the table as she did a year ago clean a few houses. She would get disability and unemployment which is not right as we know. She is friends with a disabled man. She swore she took no money from him and as she said one hand washed the other. I never agreed with it. I felt she may be asking him for money as her bills were far above her means by far. He also would say oh right I hae to pay such and such bill. So I told her do not ask any money be self sufficient work or do things right. Well instead she would lie high on the hog charging willy nilly spending bouncing checks. And many times I would lend 900 here she would not lose housing, 500 here 800 here. If she paid any it was late or she would find a way to get out of paying. Her life was out of control so my father wrote her off. Many times she would come for visits then ask for money and plead for it. He would lend and never get it back. Meanwhile I had her do a housecleaning job paid well took her out to eat. Then noticed bank statements stolen. She admitted it was her as she wanted to know how much more I could give her. Well I cut talk for 8 mos. Then she was about to be evicted so lent money. More bouncing checks and all of her. More money from me. Vicious cycle. When I set limits she wrote a letter to my father saying awful lies of me. Well her disabled friend noticed he had charge accts they felt he could not get so charged her for illegally coercing him to get it for her. This I don't believe as I know he wanted the charges. Well she is guilty of using him and all for money in emergencies so she is guilty. Not of credit card charge she is in court for. Meanwhile, she states she did hae him pay for some bills so she is taking him to fla with a 21000 disability payment.well his family would not let him go and so she took her daughter and grandchild. She overspent, paid tons of money for irs fraud, and loans and all bouncing for a clean slate she says for court and now is 500 dol over bouncing a check. So from 21000thous to .inus 500. Well as she has an ongoing case the courts said she would have a year in jail if she had new charges. So she writes me she needs the 500 to pacify the bank or she will be in jail. Meanwhile I have tried to get her to walk a straight line legaly. But she keeps using people living above her means and all. I have prayed loved her stayed away, helped when I could. But now I tell her I will lend the 500 dol as during this court case u will be in jail and I want you out on bail right now. So no more helping and I pray I can not help. I am a godly women but her life is not godly and though she says she is a christian she is a big swindler with money. Sorry but I hope this makes more sense. The only thing I ever wanted was God and righteousness.

Sister Joan, I'm praying and my heart goes out to you, I can relate with your concern here I truely can. You know the story in John 5 about the man at the healing pool, he laid there for 38 years waiting for someone to come along and help him get into that pool. Jesus came along, he didn't pick him up put him in the healing pool. He ask him a question. Do you want to to get well? We can't fix our family, sure we can give them a quick fix, but that's not helping them. No sometimes they have to pick up their own mat and walk. May you hear the Lords voice about this situation with your sister.

I don't know if you have seen my post to you over in Daily Status, if not here it is.

Please don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way. I understand your concern for your family, it's hard to sit back and watch these things unfold, I know this because I'm on bended knees for some of my family members who have walked away from the Lord. God is working on bringing them all back one by one though. Some He has had to bring to completed brokeness for them to turn their face to him. I had to do something recently that broke my heart, but in order for God's plan to unfold in that persons life I had too. I knew the prayers I have prayed for this person. If I had handled it different I would of been blocking what God was about to do. Even when we pray we better be ready for what we might have to give up or go through in order to have those prayers answered.

God knew the deep desire in my heart for them to repent and call out...Yes Lord I'm ready! I'm ready to walk with you! That day had arrived and I knew it the minute it happened. I knew what I had to do even though my heart was breaking. I had to obey the Lord! Today there's joy in my heart and another family member saved. PTL! I know the angels were rejoicing over that one. So Sister Joan don't give up on those prayers for your family. God will do what ever it takes, this situation with your niece could be what it takes for her to turn her face to the Lord.


Blessings and Love!

Dear Joan,
Whatever you decide, will be the right decision. Make it as wisely as possible, then let it go. The moment of absolute certainty never arrives. From man's perspective. From God's, we can have blessed assurance, that on THIS Rock we stand, and that He will fill all His promises to His Beloved children, although I can promise you... it's never the way we think He will.  Roll Eyes And that's ok, too...because in the end it really is out of our hands, and when we let go and let God, well...that's the end.

The very fact that you can say what you do...that the only thing you ever wanted was God and righteousness... well, sis in Him, that says it all. Hang in there. [blueheart]

Love,
TBC ☼:-)
