The trial is over, and the verdict is in.... Guilty on 3 counts of 1st degree murder and sexual assault.
Kenny has been sentenced to life in prison and I am torn about this verdict. On the one hand, I am grateful because my grandmother could not handle the stress if he would have been sentenced to die. On the other hand, what he did was horrific and death would have been fitting to the crime.
But I don't question God and I know he is in control so I am comforted in that:) I am just so glad that this four year nightmare has finally come to an end for my family. Now we can move on and begin to heal.
As I said before, this situation brought up a lot of unresolved issues in our family and I pray that we can deal with the real issues at hand now that this is over. I just love how God will use the sins and situations of others, to show us the sins in ourselves:) He's funny like that!
I want to praise God for His sovereignty and I have already seen him glorified through this ordeal.
My mom has forgiven my grandmother and they have begun rebuilding their relationship. They got together over Thanksgiving for the first time in a while and I am grateful!
This tragedy gave me an opportunity to witness to my family. I know many of the things I said shocked them at times, but in the end, you can't argue with truth!
My prayer now will continue to be for healing in my family, but also for Kenny's salvation! I pray that he will turn to the Lord and repent for the sins he committed so that he too can join his maker and be with his mother, brother and sister!
