My beautiful sister just married the man of her dreams. I have secretly dreaded this day for most of my life, because I feared our relationship would never be the same. My sister Amanda and I are two years apart, and we have a bond that most cannot even begin to understand. We have been side by side all our lives, we do everything together and there is no one I would rather laugh with, cry with, eat with and sleep with. She is my everything. The best way I can describe our bond is that when God was knitting us in our mother’s womb, He put a part of her soul into my soul and a part of my soul into her soul. God’s love has really been showing more and more, and as I process my love for my sister, I fall more and more in love with God, because He loves me infinitely more than I love my sister, and that is incomprehensible. He is revealing more of his love to me everyday as I grow and as I process my love for my sister, because she is a gift from Him.
Amanda married an amazing man, Alan, who loves her more than he loves himself. God really blessed me with him as he has become one of my best friends. He is a gift to me from God because he makes it so much easier to let her go knowing she is with him. There is no one that could treat my sister better or love her more than Alan.
I honestly do not know what I will do without her for 11 months. But I know and trust that God will comfort me and sustain me. I will need His supernatural love and peace to comfort and fill my soul, because a part of my soul will be a world away.
Amanda you will always have my heart and you will always be my best friend. I love you with all my heart!
God bless you two and your marriage!
