It's said and it's almost done!

I can say that I have experienced the peace of God many times. I have had trials and I have had miracles all in which the presence of God was HEAVY...

I called Daddy F today before the hearing and told him that I wanted to pray with him about this hearing. He GLADLY agreed. I prayed for peace and a wise ruling from the judge. I prayed for the best decision for Moe would be made. I prayed for his mother and her heart as she was going into the hearing more than likely to be told that she would have visits with her son and nothing more.

we get into the hearing and find out we had a different judge. I have personally never HAD this judge but Bear did and he was the one who did all of hearings (even if we were unable to attend most of them ... OR stay through all of them!) but we like this judge all the same. The new judge I have no clue about him really.

First up on the witness stand was our CPS CW. She was being grilled from one flame to the next from Mom's attorney and from Ad litem (Moe's attorney, for those of you not familiar with all this). As she was sitting there Moe's dad kept being the target of their questioning. They were asking her with his pas how she thought that he'd be a good place for Moe to live. They pulled the rug out from under CPS and then shook the dirt from it all over them. It was not looking good anymore in my amateur opinion.

Then the mother gets up there in the witness stand and the flame throwers take their positions yet again. She was roasted before she sat down it seemed. I am sad to say the accusations against here were nowhere near as bad as the ones they had against the father. All I came away with was that her inconsistency was what was getting her into "trouble", in not being able to get him placed with her.

I do not have as close a relationship with the mother as we do with Daddy F, more from her choices and where she lives than we choose not to. But my heart breaks for her! Truly it does. I watched her get up there and I watched them tear away at her bit by bit. She was left hiding behind nothing more than her helpless tears.

Then for the miracle to start taking place. Daddy F was so nervous and SICK! He was pale and just kind of a bowl of jello so it seemed! At our short recess before the last stretch he was just so nervous about it all and from being grilled via the CW during the first part of the hearing he was so scared as to what he could say that would change the judge's mind about him.

He gets up on the stand and maybe 5 questions overall were asked of him!!! FIVE! Most of which were from HIS attorney! They nowhere near grilled him the way they had through the CW earlier. It was pretty UNREAL!!!

Finally the ruling ... Daddy F gets Moe for now and the mother gets every other weekend unsup visits! 6 mos CPS overseeing it... then it is DONE! Moe will be leaving our home tomorrow!

I can say I have felt the presence of GOD this day and so has Moe's family! Thank you Jesus!

Thank you all for your prayers, love, support and well wishing! We have been blessed! TREMENDOUSLY!
