So I am sitting on my bed in my parents house writing this blog. Man, can I just say that Jesus is so good; and he that waits upon the Lord will fly like eagles Isaiah 40:31. As I stated in my previous blog I have been praying for the Lord to just fix my relationship with my parents. I have been praying now for 6 months without ceasing believe that Lord hears my prayer.
Tonight we had a family meeting which consisted of my 2 sisters and I and my parents. Usually, I hate these meetings because its usually my parents going down on us on how we are just not meeting up to their expectations. But today there was rebuking but mostly laughing. Like there was so much laughter in the room!
There were times when I wanted to cry, but it wasn't because I didn't feel like my efforts were in vain. It was more because they told me 2 of my family members pasted away. What hurts the most about that news is the fact that I never even spoke to them. They were my own flesh and blood but yet I never knew them.
The other moment was when my step mom really broke down how much we mean to our grandparents on my biological mom side. (My mom died in a car accident by a drunk driver when I was in 1st grade) She said that if we were back home my grandparents would have raised me so they could at least look at us and say that have a piece of their daughter Abigail.
The last time I have seen my grandparents it was when my biological mom was alive which was when I was 2 years old, and now I am 20. I have gone 18 years without seeing them! It really just breaks my heart.
In it all the Lord really brought peace in the meeting. There were some rebuking but it didn't come off intense like it usually was. And the last like 20-30 min was just on stories and laughter. For the first time I was happy to be in our family meeting.
I have been away from home for so long. Like in 6 months I have only been home 2x. But between those months I have been on my knees crying out to the Lord to fix my family...and he has and he will continue to fix my family for His glory!
