date delay

We were informed today that Bear's court date has been pushed back from Sept 9 to Oct 21 for his final termination hearing. We are going to mediation on the 9th of Oct and then we will go from there. It is truly disheartening when you thought only if we can make it to Sept 9th and then you have less than a week left and they move the date. It truly makes you know how little we are in this and how much power we do not have over a child that is not our own. Nice try Satan... God is still bigger than you. This will not destroy us. For He has His eyes on HIS sparrows. He delights in us and has great plans for us. HE will prosper us and not harm us...

Though this journey is long and tiring... I will choose to have joy in my heart.

Please pray for God's strength to prevail in this time. It is hard to be reminded daily that he is not our own but the court systems property to toy with as they please. It makes me sick. I am just glad that he is in our home for now while they are counting their ducks to put them in a row. We pray for God's favor that He will allow him to remain in our family forever.
