Eventful would be an appropriate word to describe our last few days. A few weeks ago I had an overwhelming feeling to ask about court. I asked our worker and he was unsure of the date and I asked the ongoing worker and the date was December 3. I had originally thought court would not occur again until January so this threw me for a loop. I tend to over think things so this sent me into a panic. Our worker encouraged that I attend court since we are nearing the 12 month mark. I talked to Tyler but he was unable to attend due to a conference with school. I was a nervous wreck thinking about attending court by myself so I was unsure if I would attend. I decided that I would and was so thankful that my sister offered to go with me. She kept me so calm and provided great entertainment. Court was scheduled for 10:30 and we arrived around 10. A long day would be putting it nicely. We sat in the waiting area for about 5 hours until we were finally called in. As I entered the court room I was shaking and my heart was racing. I was unsure of what I would hear and I just kept praying for peace. Court was not at all what I expected and I had no idea what twists and turns would occur. Without providing too much information, one of our prayers was answered which we are so thankful for. We are not "home free" yet but things are looking up. I cringe even writing that because it always seems to be 1 step forward, 5 steps back.
I spent a lot of time in prayer before court and have spent a lot of time since. My Grandma always provided the best insight and words of encouragement and times like these I miss her the most. I know she could have calmed me down in an instant and would be praying continuously for us. When I need her the most she always has a way of letting me know she is here. I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw this picture.
I couldn't help but smile when I saw it. When I was little my Grandma gave me a card that had the scripture about the mustard seed and also had a mustard seed attached. She would remind me as I was growing up that all I needed was faith as small as a mustard seed. What an appropriate reminder for this journey we are on.
In the midst of the craziness at court, I received a call that our sweet boy was sick AGAIN! We had just been to the doctor on Monday with ear and eye infections. He has been taking antibiotics and seemed to be on the mend. Wrong! He had vomited and needed to be picked up within the hour. Well I had already waited for over 2 hours at that point and really didn't want to miss the court hearing. Tyler was attending his conference so thankfully he left early to get him. I stayed home with our sweet boy today and enjoyed the extra snuggles. We are praying he is healthy soon!
We spent lots of time playing and reading today. I was so excited to be able to set up his new nativity scene. It was so neat watching him explore and to watch his face the first time it played "Away In A Manger."
He has been giving lots of hugs and kisses recently and kept kissing his puppy tonight. He is the sweetest boy and we continue to pray for God's will to be done in his life. We pray for everyone involved and ask that you continue to pray for the situation. Big decisions will be made in the coming months and we need strength and peace. Our hearts belong to this boy and we are so thankful to be his parents.
