So I am cleaning out a record cabinet that is the size of a night stand that I have repurposed for cook book storage and I run across my sister Linda's address and phone number that I had lost track of in one of the cook books.
I think this is not an accident maybe God wants me to call her and I mention this to tourist who is typing on CC but I am afraid to make the call because my sister and I did not grow up together as my Dad was married to her Mother before and divorced her. Linda has never wanted to have anything to do with me and throughout my life (I am 12 years younger) I have made attempts to connect with her and they have all been miserable failures.
At any rate I was afraid to call her because of the rejection, but tourist said go ahead and make the call. I say I don't know what to say to her and he says the Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. So I make the call and it rings many times and I am kind or hoping that she will not answer but then she does.
I say is this Linda and she says yes and I say this is Darlene, Harold's daughter, we have the same Father, but I can't say I am her sister as this has caused many problems in the past so I just don't go there. She says What do you want? I say nothing I just wanted to try to connect with you. And then she hung up on me....
I have never understood why she doesn't want to have anything to do with me and over the years God knows I have tried and since I am 59 add 12 she is now 71 years old and I just want to help her if she needs it...Anyway my heart is broken at this riff that I don't know how to fix and God does know I have tried.
Please pray for her, as I don't really know her even though we are half sisters, I am a person that loves my family even her even though I don't know her. Somehow she has been really hurt by someone or something in the past and has never accepted me but it bugs me now knowing she is so much older and we even live in the same area and I could help and have a relationship with her if she would allow it. I don't know if she knows God, but I would like for her to. I sent a Christmas Card a couple of years ago and it was not returned so she got it.
I don't really know what to request for her so lets just go basic.... Pray for her salvation please as I will be doing, I wish she would consent to meet or talk to me, but I will just pray for now. God did not let me find her address and phone number for no reason today I know He has His reasons, so please pray with me for her. Thanks Darlene
