I just realized I have not posted about what happened at court last week with our foster daughter. The judge postponed the kids going back to their birth parents' home until after a hearing at the end of Aug. where more testimony and some different options will be presented and during that time the kids will spend MORE time with their birth parents to see if this can even work. Our prayer was that God's will and best plan will be done in the life of our foster daughter and we believe this decision and the one coming in Aug. IS God's ultimate plan for her....no matter what that may be. Emotionally, WE WANT HER. But God continues to fill us with His grace to follow His plan, which of course we don't know what that is just yet. We are available either way...available to be here for her all her life; and available to let her go if God sees fit. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers concerning this matter, and if the Lord reminds you this next month, please continue to lift this little girl up in prayer (Emily). I know God has a plan, and His will WILL be done, but the enormity of a child's destiny hanging in the balance is a lot for me to ponder alone. Blessings to you all!! |
