Christians?
I recently found my bio father and after one conversation weeks ago I sent him the letter featured below. In the mean time one of his sons (Brent) was in the beginnings of embracing me as a sister, something I was over-joyed about. This letter was meant to be between him and I and he forwarded it to all his sons. Below the letter that his son, Brent, the only one who would talk to me, sent to me on behalf of the whole family. This completely broke my heart and I would like to add that the whole family claims to be Christians, with one of his sons even going on missionary trips.

The challenge that God has given you would fell a lesser person, so accept that it may happen in the fullness of time -- or it may not. As I said before, pray and listen for the answer. It may not be what you expect when you expect it, but give it time.
