Those who kneel before God can stand before anyone!

As some of you know, one of our kiddos is currently not living with us due to his unsafe behaviors. We haven't broadcast it because, well, how do you go about putting it into writing when your heart is aching?

He is in a great facility and we are able to see him often while he gets the help he needs. We have also been able to take him for a couple brief outings, they typically go well but they are also a struggle at times. We have been so grateful that he is in a place where he has love, support, consistency, of people who seem to love the Lord and are there for the kids.

We learned in Friday that the county of financial responsibility, that agreed to pay the 12-16 months of treatment, is longer willing to pay for him to be there. This scares us, a lot!

There is no way this kiddo is ready to be back and frankly, we are struggling with anxiety and fear related to the possibility of him coming home.

Monday is a hearing/meeting, we are going in expecting to fight and we are already overwhelmed at having to be here yet again.

More time off work, more time fighting, more paperwork, more heartbreak for all of us. It is just not right.

Please pray with us as we go into this tomorrow.

Lord please calm the fear in our hearts. Please grant us wisdom and courage, and may the decision be what is best for this kiddo and our family.
