I've always wanted a sister I think!

Most of my life I was the only girl of a family 4 me, my mom,& 2 older brothers my mother was a single parent who did her best to bring us up with respect and values and I had become content with that lifestyle until December 29th 2006 I was in the hospital giving birth to my handsome son Chance and my Uncle Ray cames by to visit me and says I think I may have found your sister her name is Keisha and we play Tennis together I said oh ok and really didn't think to much of it at the time I was more focused on recovering and getting home to take care of myself and my new son and on top of everything else me and my mom weren't really seeing eye to eye at this time so it was pretty much out of site & out of mind as it's always been until the day me and my husband took our son home on January 2, 2007 and I got a phone call from a lady claiming to be my sister Keisha I was kinda in disbelief because it's like when you want something so bad and out of nowhere it happen I thought it was a joke my uncle is always playing long story short I agree to meet her just to see how realistic the situation was it wasn't reality until there was a knock on the door she bought her mom (who was my dad's wife at the time I was concieved), brother, another sister and her baby there were alot of questions none of us had the answers I'd never met my dad and he had died 5 years before this reunion had took place of course there were a bunch of assumptions made where my mom the home wrecker as they said got pregnant with me while he was still married to their mom here we are today October 6, 2008 and there still negative words being thrown around these people were so eager to become apart of my life so they claim wanting to be close but everytime I'm around them it's usually negativity a few people welcomed me because it's still new and a few people knew of me but others just couldn't believe it like he was some kind of saint or something he had kids come from all over the place and these people were talkin down to me all crazy they would say stuff like she don't look like nobody, I hope she ain't looking for hand outs, her momma don't even look his type she ain't nothing like us she not prissy and her attitude is different she don't even like to have fun we invite her places she don't wanna come and if she do she don't really say nothing what's wrong with her I don't know why she acting like that her mom slept with a married man what did she expect him to make her part of our family I'm thinking wow these people are horrible I wasn't missin out on anything all this time I was crying for my daddy and he wasn't nothing like a good role model he was the complete opposite an irresponsible drug addict who abused his kids, wife, & himself a cheater who ignored his responsibilities and didn't own up to his actions it just makes me angrier and angrier thinking about it who do these people think they are my conclusion is it's easier to blame somebody else but me being a mother and wife myself if I found out my husband had other children I would except them with open arms because it's not the child's fault if anybody's to it would be my husband because it's up to him to respect me and his family I would not be pointing fingers I'd be hurt but as I said before it's not the child's fault me and my husband of course would separate and if in fact we decided not to I would deal with things as they come accountability take responsiblity for the decisions you make in your life and if you have kids think about how it's going to affect them because it's not about you anymore this man is resting in hell I'm sure because I doubt very seriously he got his life together before he past away who knows I always thought having my other side the family in my life would be great girl talk, shopping, all that good stuff sisters do but these people are a trip they make it hard for me to get close or even wanna build a relationship with them they've got me wondering is this reunion a Blessing or a curse now we're finding out he has more kids and theres more drama he has 9 kids that we know of and a couple of maybes 4 different woman now who they gone blame all I can do is pray I don't know what to do whether to try to love them pass the differences or let it go Pray for me...

My dear sis,

We can see God's Sovereignty (He is in control) and His Providence (He directs human events). I am so glad that you are growing in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You have a responsibility as a Christian to love them no matter what. You can't control them, but you can control yourself. God brought you guys together for a reason. Perhaps and more then likely that reason is to help them to get closer to Him.

Love the hell out of them.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter 5:10


Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor 15:58
