PROPITUOUS PONDERINGS

Jul. 27, 2006

God's Will...

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!!

Ah, I've been in that place. It was over a year before we got to that point in our journey with our foster babes... bparents had week-long visits with their children, one at a time... couldn't handle the 2yo... 4yo regressed, undoing all our progress with his RAD, years more of the back and forth... 3+ years into it they did paternity testing for one of the children and brought another bparent into the picture... after 4 years we finally adopted all three of them! That was a year ago. Things have been so much more normal since then (it's all relative), we totally forgot to celebrate the anniversary! I'd say that's sad, BUT if we can get through the anniversary season without our RADish regressing like he tends to each year, that's quite an accomplishment!

I will pray for Emily. It must be so hard to deal with these things.
