    LOOOONG story short.. I'm annoyed at my sister.. She got her divorce and seems to now be loosing her mind.. She's heading out to go to Egypt tomorrow.. ALL BY HERSELF.. To meet a guy she met on an online game.. I'm very nervous and scared that we will never see her again.. Please pray for her safety and for her to come to her senses before it's too late..

    This is scary. Why tomorrow? Is this something that happened recently? How old is she?

    Is there any way you can talk her into at least postponing this?

    I don't have any solid advice. Oh, how I wish I did.

    I will pray.

    I guess she's been planning this for awhile.. She's not a baby.. She's in her 30's but I question her mindset right now.. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.. But I don't understand why in the world she would go to another country to meet someone she plays online games with.. We warn our children about this very thing.. It just doesn't make sense to me.. The guy told her that he would have someone else pick her up at the airport and then he would take her to a safe place.. Maybe I've watched too many shows like "Taken" and I'm being a paranoid sister..

    BUT I did talk to her and she isn't going tomorrow.. Since she is going to be stopping in Europe twice on the way, she needed a visa and wasn't aware. So now it's set up for the 8th.. Praying that God will keep her safe and that maybe she will change her mind and not go after all. She's worried about the money she is going to loose if she doesn't go since she can't get a refund..

    TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! I just have a really bad feeling about this.. This guy told her he would take her to "some place safe" and then he has to work the day she was supposed to land and his friend was going to pick her up.. I just don't understand how she could put herself in such danger.. Guess she still has the "can't happen to me" mindset that you have when you are younger.. Grrr.

    Is this the same sister who has kids? Maybe you could talk to her about the kids needing her right now or something. I really wish she would not go. It sounds too scary to me. Praying for her protection.

    Well, she's leaving tomorrow.. Won't be back until the 24th :/ I don't get it..

    Yes, she's the one who just fought for custody of her kids.. I'm really disappointed in her.. Shaking my head in disbelief.. Keep her in your prayers please.

    Yep, I agree.. He has no idea and I really hope that nothing happens and the kids need her..
    It's just flat out STUPID!

    I'd lose any amount of money out there if it meant I was safe. Praying for barriers to be put in place

    Dad has them the whole month of June.. She has them next month then they start 5 and 2 custody share.. Poor kiddos..

    As far as I know, she is on her way.. I have prayed for something to keep her from going and also for safety.. Leaving her in God's hands.. Nothing more I can do.. She will be gone for 15 days.. Originally it was only 9.. ((sigh))

    I think she has been so cooped up with her former relationship that she's craving some adventure.. I prayed for a hedge of protection to be around her and that she would have the time of her life and would come back rested and rejuvenated.. Left at the feet of Jesus.. Hopefully I can leave it there..

    Maybe we are all being paranoid, but nobody has heard from her since she left Denver... I have had several calls today asking if I heard from her.. one was my dad who was very upset and crying.. Said he's afraid he will never see her again.. I'm hoping she's okay.. It's very early morning there now so Im sure she's bedding down and hopefully we will hear something from her tomorrow..

    Not sure if anyone is still reading this but thought I would update.. She made it there and we have heard from her. Said that the people she is with treat her like a queen.. Hope it keeps going that way. She's supposed to check in everyday with someone but I doubt she will..

    I really hope she will check in every day. I know I would feel much better if it were my sister...

    I'm glad she's OK, and I hope she continues to be fine.

    She said that he put her up in an apartment and is treating her like a queen.. Her wifi is spotty so it's going to be hit and miss on keeping in contact.. She will be back in 14 days. I can't WAIT!!
