God is So Good

Well...This morniing I took out Sissy's things to the garage and I had all of her things in a box to send, trusting God that He knows what is best for my family. An investgator talked to Matt telling him that today was going to be the day that she goes. Matt walked into the courtroom and the lawyer stood up and said that they all decided that the baby should go to the grandparents. The Judge said," I don't care what you decided. I am here for the best interest of this baby. I think that the grandparents need a phych. evaluation because I wonder if they are in the right frame of mind to have this baby." I guess the grandma has written him so many letters that he is fed up with it and he wants them evaluated. The next court date is March 2. I THINK that in March, they either get her or they are out of the running to have her. matt and I still have to give them weekend visits and give the birthmom visits during the week. (we have not heard from her in 3 weeks).



Psalm 46:1 "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

Psalm 62:8 " Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us."

Kelli (and fam),
I am so excited for all of you. I went into this day with worry for all of your hearts. I am just thrilled that you have more time to prove to all (not that you really have anything to prove but you know what I mean) that Sissy is in the best of hands.
As I know you will, keep your faith strong and most of all, enjoy this wonderful season with your ENTIRE family!
Blessings from WI....Amy Johannsen

i am so thrilled for you. I know the relief and apprehension you are feeling now. Relief knowing your baby is in your home that much longer, apprehension in wondering what is going to ultimately happen at the end of this road.

I am glad the judge is listening and doing his/her job.

I am continuing to pray that things work out for Ivy.

Patyrish said...

sorry I meant I hope things work out perfectly for SISSY! I'm a little "off" tonight!
