The road is long.. With many winding roads..
"You must be strong in the Lord. Stand firm, be prepared for persecution even as we reach out to your parents"
Those words were grim, but I was too grateful to even think about the weight of the meaning. I thank God for answering my prayers! He has sent me not one, but two people to help.. It was a nerve wrecking moment when I popped the question, " I'd like to know if you all are able to.. I feel that my mom needs.. I think it would do her good if someone is committed to reaching out to her.. Not just touch and go.." The following answer initially sounded grim. Uncle Peter went, "I think I will be frank and share this upfront with you," completely oblivious to the fact that my face fell at that remark, and he went on saying "It's not a matter of whether we want to or not", at this point I was bracing myself already, and he finished saying, " It's a matter of we must" . I was stunned to say the least! But really thankful that they have committed themselves to reach out to my mom. Thank God.
