New Family

Well, here goes lol.

My mom, my sister and I were alone since 1997, when our dad and mom divorced. We moved to Baltimore, and were on our own for a while, with no real male figure. We loved it, always us girls. But my mommy was having trouble being a single parent. I even prayed for her to meet a new husband.

In October 2003, my mom introduced us to this guy from her job, whom she had talked to on many occasions.

Well, after being alone for so long with no male figure, I did not welcome him. At all. Even though this was what I prayed for. My heart turned to stone.

I couldn't stand him and his kid. They were the nicest people, but I just would not let my heart accept them. I was so stubborn, I would not be nice to them, I would never allow them to infiltrate my life. I got yelled at so many times by my mother, about respect. And she told me that he was not going anywhere.

I just continued to be rude, and stubborn, and hating them, thinking that that would scare them away. I do not know why I just could not accept these two males into my life.

So, Christmas came, and he proposed to my mother. My sister and I were MORTIFIED. We could not believe that this man, who was trying to take away my mother from us, was going to be our stepfather!!!! I was so angry, I just left and went upstairs.

Whew, I am sitting here, thinking about how much pain I imposed upon myself by just being stubborn. I cried, saying "God, I don't want to be like this!! Why can't I just accept this man, one who will be our new provider, and make my mother happier?"

I was so selfish, I was horrible. I even knew that he was a great guy, if I would only accept him.

I don't even remember the exact time and place, but soon after that, I changed. I accepted him and his son. I allowed them into my life. I saw what great people they were, and how God was trying to bless us, not hurt us. I was blocking the blessing.

Now, I am glad that we met, and my mom and stepdad have been married for one year and one month, and we all get along great. We still have glitches here and there, but what family doesn't?

I am just glad that God changed my heart in this case. I still have a lot to be worked on, most definetely, but He changed our family for the better, forever.

I hope that this gives you all encouragement for whenever someone new comes into your life. God Bless!!!!
