Disciple of Prayer
I am writing and asking for prayer for my family. It has been on my heart to do this. With the holidays coming up it is suppose to be happy and about spending time with loved ones and family and I hate that I dread when these are approaching due to the storm between my family.
To make a long story short I am engaged to the love of my life. I prayed about this man and I feel within my heart and my soul this is who God chose for me. We have known each other for almost 6 years now and engaged for one. Our relationship is great but the only thing hindering us and slowing us from getting married are the differences My parents have toward him. He is of another race which is the top of the list of reasons they do not accept us getting married. He is a little older than I am but our maturity levels are the perfect. He is such a Godly man and puts himself aside to help others every single day. His past is not very great but I know he has changed into something completely different and my parents wont even give him a chance. All I have asked is for us to so much as have dinner with us in hopes they see the man that I see every day. His family has been accepting of me from day one. I have missed so many holidays, birthdays and celebrations the past few years since they will not accept him around. It kills me every day that I hurt them when they cannot see me but I know it would hurt him too if I just left him. Im in a position to where I don't know what to do anymore and I know it's not fair to him. Im afraid hes going to end up leaving. He can't help the color of his skin. I wouldn't feel right leaving just to make them happy but they guilt trip me every day about how short life is and not seeing them. I pray about our situation every day for a miracle they would have an open heart and mind to give him a chance. I don't want to hurt ANYBODY. That's just not me...
I'm asking that you please pray God would keep taking control and guide us though this storm. I just want us to be a family and remember what loving each other is all about regardless of outward appearance. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. God Bless you....
