To start, I totally failed today's task because I totally forgot to talk it over. Maybe it's because I was totally blindsided today, and I have to get this public.
I have finally welcomed my brother home.
Explanation? Let's backtrack first. This week's theme was peace. The first day? Forgive someone you've been bitter towards. The first person to pop into my head? The subject of an earlier post, the one where I mention I need to apologize. I never did apologize to him until yesterday. I got his email, wrote him a quick note, mentioning that I was a jerk for hating him even though he was a jerk to me.
A reply? Didn't want to open it. I was scared out of my mind. But I had to; the suspense was killing me. I was stunned. I'm still breathless. The reply specifically encouraged me and followed up with an apology for his actions as well.
I have a new brother in my Papa's family! I'm so excited it's ridiculous. I didn't believe anyone when they told me he changed, but this email reply is evidence. If there's a God, I know Him for certain now because He's changed his heart.
Wow. I'm...I'm just stunned. I almost cried because the response was nothing I expected, and I want to greet my brother in person. Hopefully I'll see him over the summer.
THANK YOU, LORD! Wow. Wow wow wow. Totally new perspective on this kid. Take him places, Lord. I want to see this kid explode. Wow. The bitterness is gone, and I can't stop blabbering about how COOL this experience was. UGH and I know my words are EPICALLY FAILING! shdiohfdkcnak;dgfahc. Ok, I need to sleep. (But I'm so ecstatic, I don't know if I'll be able too, hahaha.)
Is this about who I think it is? He has a brother and sister? Or is it someone else?
