We found my biological father
So I've been debating weather to share this or not but decided it's time. After 26 years we have re-connected with my biological father. He is in a nursing home in Michigan. He has lost both his legs to diabetes and has sclerosis of the liver which may be causing him to be close to the end of his life (it's hard to know the situation but we don't want to risk not meeting him). My father was abusive to me as a child so for me it's about facing my fear. My brother was only 3 and a half when we escaped the violence and started over in Florida. He needs to meet his father for other reasons and I'm praying we get to see him before he passes. It's hard to know how bad it is and the reality of the situation. All this feels overwhelming at times but has been undeniable in God's sovereignty to bring all things together in his time. I'm scared to death at times but also very certain this is what God wants. I'm praying that I can offer forgiveness to someone who probably caused the most pain in my life. But I have a heavenly father that I know loves me and has healed my wounds and my need for an earthly father's love. Offering forgiveness is an act of God and not of us and I'm praying he will see Jesus in me as I'm pretty sure he has no hope in the afterlife. Maybe God will move some mountains too. Thanks for your prayers for my brother, myself and a lost man named Juan Siller.
