I know the title of this sounds light and airy, but my heart is very heavy with knowing that we will be in court on Monday. The judge on the stand is known for siding with birth parents - almost to a fault. With that in mind, if it is pressed on your heart, please pray for us, Baby D's case, the judge, the social workers, the GAL folks, D's birth parents and everyone involved in court on Monday.
My prayer, obviously, is that the court would begin to terminate the birth parents' rights. However, I know that is JESSICA'S plan and not necessarily God's. Please pray for Luke and I to have peace, an obvious love for our sweet Baby D and to shine the light of our Savior in that drab, dark court room.
Also, some of our good friends will be in court that day as well (already an answer to prayer), for their sweet boy Daniel (who just-so-happens to be 3 days older than Baby D). I'm sure they'd appreciate a prayer or two as well.
I'll let you know how it went sometime Monday. Blessings!
We had a great time last night....you guys have such a wonderful family. The babies fit in just perfectly and I pray, if it is God's will, that they remain a part of your family. We'll be remembering you guys tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteWe are praying! I said a quick prayer while sitting here and will continue to pray for your family as you come to mind. Hang in there. You guys are amazing and God will honor that in His own special way.
ReplyDeleteLord,
ReplyDeleteI ask that you speak peace into the hearts of Jessica and Luke as they are in court this week. I pray that you make your presence known in that courtroom. Give the judge the wisdom of Solomon to discern what is best for all in this situation. We trust you, Lord and know that you will provide a way in any decision made tomorrow. This has always been your plan, and I ask that you provide gentle reminders to Luke and Jessica of your love and power during this week.
It is 9:09 AM and I have said two prayers already! Praying for peace and wisdom within the walls of the court room!
