Final Hearing part 2

This morning I was driving to Court and I grabbed my phone to make a phone call. I noticed a text message had been sent so I looked at my phone and realized there had been 4 messages sent to my phone. I, DID NOT, check my messages right then... ahem.

The messages were from Moe's BM. She was telling me that she was running late and the rest of the text messages sent me into a big ball of tears and snot.

I show up at the court house crying and I meet her attorney at the door. I hand her my phone and instruct her on how to operate my phone to navigate to the other messages sent by her client.

Basically she stated that she knew that Moe was in a great home and that J and I LOVE him dearly. She said that she was truly grateful for us being there for him and that the last thing she wanted to do was to break his heart again. She said that no matter what happened that she would accept it but she was NOT giving up.

I respect her decision in that she is NOT quitting on her son. She will fight with all she has for her son. I do know the odds are stacked and leaning against her but I really want her to fight. I want her to finish strong too.

A friend of mine sent me an email the other day and she was praying for us. She put in there that she prays that we finish strong. That is so important to me... and I believe that she, too, is finishing strong. I KNOW God is proud of her. I know there are poor choices, I know there was a past and some issues still needing corrected BUT I KNOW HIS hand is in her life and that HE loves her! I hope some day she will truly see the love HE has for her.

So as of now the trial is still going on. I was told tomorrow will be the last day. They said it should last no longer than noon tomorrow... I am on edge.

My emotions are all over the place. I SO want her to succeed, but I also know she has had 2 years to get it together and has not yet. I love that girl and pray for her that she will understand that we will NEVER leave her out of his life! Sweet girl. God cover her heart and speak truth and peace to her heart. Let her know it is okay to let go and let you have it as well.

I want to just wrap my arms around her and let her cry, to tell her it's okay and to let it all out. You can tell she is just hurting so badly. I want to show her the mother's heart she has never seen as well. She needs someone to hold her... Father please be that someone tonight for her.

Amen.

We had very much the same kind of situation. I just wanted to be the person that could show Little J's BM a mothers love and also the love of Jesus Christ. I know how you are feeling right now

Your compassion for this mother is something only God could have provided for you. It is inspiring and I hope that when it is our time to foster that He will prepare my heart as He has your's. Thanks for sharing. I will be praying for you all tomorrow.
