What God Is Really Giving You When He Gives You An Older Sister

When God Gives You An Older Sister

The dictionary defines sisters as "a woman or girl in relation to other daughters and sons of her parents." That is the most broad basically inaccurate description I have ever read. I am most certain when God saw me he knew there were two things I needed 1. A loving family and 2. A sister. He gave me a loving family that came with giving me a sister and over the years I have learned all of the gifts that have come from God giving me a sister.

When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will watch cartoons with you every weekend morning.When I was younger my sister and I would watch Arthur, Rugrats, and Power Puff Girls together every weekend without fail.


When God gives you a sister he gives you a tutor, doctor and body guard by the time you are 5. My sister picked me up off of the pavement with tears down my face and scrapes on my arms, took me home put band-aids on me and made sure the tears were dry. Having an older sister means from the time you are 5 you have someone who will protect you against anyone from and anything.From the time you are learning colors and numbers your older sister is by your side helping you learn and helping through the dreaded math sheets.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will judge your boyfriends and make sure they are good enough for you. I have always been protective of my older sister in this area, she deserves the world and through her finding a great guy I have found approval and I couldn't be more happy watching their relationship. It's hard having someone pass the certain "tests" you set up in your mind of the person your sister deserves to be with and when they have found someone who surpasses your expectations it is a beautiful thing.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will be hard on you but always have your best interest at heart . My sister has been right about a lot most of the time. Even through me thinking she was being "mean" I have come to understand that being my older sister it's her job to care, and she does a great job at it. She has always been honest with me and has always tried helping lead me down a right path. Each time I have needed someone she has always been there.

When God Gives you a sister he gives you someone that will be by your side forever and a best friend. God never gives you something you don't need, a sister is something I need to have in my life and thankfully having a sister means she will be in my life forever. She will be my maid of honor the day I get married, she will be my children's God Mother and she will always be on my side even when it feels like the world is against me.

So tell me how exactly a "sister" could be summed up by the definition the dictionary says?

It can't.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
