Oh sweet girl! - So thankful we get to hear her voice every Sunday!!
We just wanted to give you a little more to the story of why we did not have court yesterday. I don't really know all of the details (and those we know we won't share-confidential) but there was a case before ours that did not go well-at all- and the Judge was angry so our lawyer thought it in our best interest to delay. We are thankful for people who go in our place and try to make the best decisions for us and for Joy! While to be honest we are faced right now with many unknowns and are very upset - we know that the Lord was looking out for us and that He will do it in his timing. I can't get in to specifics but we are facing some decisions and pray for His wisdom and clear leading as we decide how best to proceed from here. Thank you all for loving us so well and for your encouragement!
How can you pray?
*Praise that God KNOWS and is Sovereign. He sees all of the details we don't and loves us and protects us. Praise that we avoided a ruling that could have halted our case!
*We want to follow His leading in all of the decisions we need to make- we pray for a clear understanding of the next step and wisdom on how to proceed. (We are so thankful for Jay's longtime friend who is a lawyer in Ghana for his wise counsel and willingness to "interpret" the system for us.)
*Pray that our hearts will feel His presence and peace and strength in the midst of this all. We are licking our wounds and our hearts are aching. We miss our little girl and want so much to bring her home!
*Pray that our kiddos will not grow angry and bitter but will continue to trust and believe that God has our best in mind.
Praying!
