Prayer request re:court tomorrow
 
Please lift up my sons and me in your prayers tomorrow. We will be in court at 9am edt. I am trying my best to let go and let God; I know He is in control and whatever happens is His perfect plan. But I would be lying if I said I am not very apprehensive about it.

The pastor of our church offered to be there for us, isn't that the coolest thing ever? He and the church as a whole have been so supportive throughout this whole ordeal, in spite of the fact that exah is also a member and has caused a lot of disruption. So I know that God is definitely in control in the morning.

I will let you know as soon as I get home. Hugs to all!

Duet - I will be thinking of you and sending all good prayers and thoughts your way!

I just want you to know that by sharing what you're about to do, you have helped me tremendously this weekend! About a month ago I woke up one morning and realized, I had enough education that I could indeed fight the battle I needed to (and it's a fair one from my side of things), for which I was so grateful, but I also knew I still had a long way to go. Reading your post and thinking about tomorrow and what you're going through helped me face that there are things that may come out in my own divorce, that might cost me more than I know, etc. I finally understood that there was much more out there and I had to be ready, had to know that whatever happened, I could deal with it, it wasn't the end of the world and what would be would be - my HP would be there, and no amount of worrying or planning would change anything. I had my breakthru breakdown this morning, let the tears flow and wash away the fear. I took a shower, and was able to put the thoughts away and enjoy a beautiful spring day. Thank you!

Good luck to you and your sons tomorrow, and as I said, I'll be up at by 6:00 a.m. my time, and I will be absolutely thinking of you - praying!

Lots of hugs and strength!

I'm not familiar with the situation but in the past, I was faced with going before a Judge. I remember the feelings of knowing I need to give it to God, that He alone controls the final outcome, not the Judge who sits on the bench.

Sometimes I was granted what I thought was best for me, other times I wasn't. My thoughts at those times were that I couldn't survive this, I was angry that I didn't get what I thought was best and I began to question God's motives. Looking back, I can see where God DID know what was best for me and I am a better person now due to His Wisdom.

I'll Pray that God gives all of you the peace of knowing that no matter what the outcome, He knows what's best for you and your Sons

God Bless & Thank God . . . Just for Today
