Tomorrow our daughter and the father of our two grandchildren have a custody hearing in front of a Family Court judge. PLEASE pray that the lawyers and the judge does what is in the childrens best interest. We have been involved in these two children's lives since the moment that they were born. I have been praying that the Lords will.....be done and that they have a chance at a safe, secure and healthy childhood. Those of you that know me........know that this isn't the "first time" that I have been concerned about an outcome that I have absolutely control over. PLEASE remember them in your prayers. I will post the outcome whenever I find out what it is. God, please be with them and watch over them to keep them safe, secure and happy. Thy will be done........Amen

Thanks Dusty......I have had a LOT on the table lately and haven't been online much. Life can get a bit "overwhelming" at times.....and it has ALWAYS been at these times that the Good Lord has carried me through. I have faith that he will do so this time too.

Children are God's future.
He will not fail. His answer will sometimes not be ours in the moment, but Faith is trusting what we cannot see nor understand.
Lord in your Mercy...

Well.....the outcome is that there will be a final hearing in March of 2012. She went without a lawyer and found out that we paid for the father's lawyer. It wasn't a pretty site when she came here to get her things. She left and took the kids to my wife's sisters house. She is telling the world that we are trying to take the kids from her......which isn't true. We just want both her and the father to grow up and be the parents that any child deserves.
Her plans are to leave the state with them and keep them away from us, but she can't do anything until after the final hearing. To say she was mad would be an understatement. When she came here to get her things, I was next door at my parents house with the children and my wife and my Dad came over to make sure she didn't take things that wasn't hers. She took a "swing" at my wife, and the outcome of that wasn't a good thing. I would say that she won't do that again. This is gonna get "ugly".....before all is said and done. We have so much evidence that we have accumulated over the years and I will do EVERYTHING within my power to prevent her from taking those two kids out of state. To her they are just a posession.....which is sad in many ways. She only wants them for the free "assistance" she gets for them and to use them as something to hold above our heads. I'm not gonna air "dirty laundry".......but PLEASE keep us all in your prayers. This is very hard on my wife and I as well as the rest of my immediate family. The father currently has weekend visitation rights and we took her to court four years ago and have every other Sunday for us in an existing court order. She needs to have her eyes opened and realize what she has, and still is putting those kids through.
PLEASE.......continue praying for us to have the strength to get through this and for the outcome to be the BEST for the children.
Thy will be done........

Don your family is in my prayers

Don,
You've shared things in the past so I can fill in some of the blanks...
Again I encourage you to realize that while adult age, she is but a tempermental child, for whatever her causes adn reasons but reason and caring may not be enough.
Rest well in the knowledge you've left no stone unturned in all you've tried to do and how you continue to strive to seek God's Will in all you do with this dreadful situation.
Only She and God can fix HER. Your focus in appropriately on the kids, not her happiness. She's focused on that 200% so needs no help.
Be Strong. Cloak yourself in His armour and continue to run and find the wind beneath your wings!
-
Continued prayers for all involved, especially those children. So precious and vulnerable, they deserve love and happiness.

Prayers sent for the best for them.

God bless you folks and keep you...

Don I will be praying for you and all involved,esp the kids and your daughter.Even prodigals can change and thats what God must do in your daughters life.I know you've been through the ringer and learning to give your kids to God is what you must do every time something pops up.I have been in a similar situation with my son with his ex wife trying to turn his 2 sons aganist him by lies and even lying in court.Your faith will be tried extremely but never doubt that God is not concerned and working out His plan.When you are in prayer it will not just get you through but your grandkids are protected.My eldest grandson has already changed from believing the lies and the younger is still in the waiting.Thats why I can't quit praying nor you either.It works.God knows all about it.God is teaching you many things right now so be especially attentive to His voice.Don't let the anger win out over you.I know it's hard but keep giving her to God.He will deal with her.Hope this encouraged you.D.

Dwight,
That right there is the most dead-on advice I've ever seen shared in such a straight up way!
I know Don heeds all that but it's always good to read... and it touched me right now as well, so thanks for your insights to Don, but it serves all who read!
Keep the Son in your eyes! Good fortune to your grandkids as well... Truth is just a matter of TIME!
-
Dwight,
Thank-You for the sound advice. I have and will continue to P.U.S.H. (Pray Until Something Happens). I know and believe that the Good Lord is, and will continue to watch over them and give us the guidance necessary to get through this. Without the faith and hope.........we'd be lost in times like these.

Father God, we ask your wisdom be given to the Judge deciding this matter...that Your Truth prevail and Your Light be shown on the darkness and all that is wrong in those children's lives...for they are precious in your sight. In your Son is no darkness, and in His name we trust and ask for your overwhelming influence Friday in the children's lives. We give You thanks, today, for how you are already answering the prayers of those men above, and we all trust in You for their future care. Amen.

Well....almost all of YOUR prayers as well as mine have been answered !!! Thank-YOU Jesus :notworthy: and a very sincere Thank-You to every each one of ya'll that have been praying along with me for the past year. :pray:
The hearing got started late, more like 10:15 this morning. Our daughter showed up alone and our Grandchildren's father showed up with the lawyer that WE took out a loan (that we couldn't afford) to retain for the Grandchildrens sake. The lawyer brought an agreement that said that they BOTH have shared custody of the children, no child support, NEITHER of them can leave the state with them, and they BOTH have to submit to random drug screens.
She (our daughter) signed it with the agreement added that each of them could claim one child each year on their tax returns. The children ARE SAFE and can't be taken away from the family that has been involved with them since the day they were born. Again.......Thank-You Jesus !!!
Our daughter, on the other hand is currently homeless. She told the court that she was living out of her car (which isn't true). She also told the court that she no longer had anything to do with the guy she had been dating that put her in the hospital TWICE (which also wasn't true). She is still hanging with the WRONG type people. We cannot do ANYTHING to stop that, she's 25 years old and can make her decisions for herself. Both my wife and I have had numerous conversations with her about this "guy" that she says she is so in love with and told her that eventually, he was going to kill her. She says that we don't understand and that she loves him and can't help what her feelings are. We feel so helpless concerning her well being........and truly are. We just keep on praying that someday, somehow, her eyes are opened to the kind of person that he is and realizes that she (or anyone for that matter) doesn't deserve to be treated that way.
She is sick......and in need of help, but to intent on "changing other people" into what SHE wants them to be to listen to reason. There isn't anything any closer to insanity than trying to have a "rational" conversation with an "irrational person". Right now, she is in the Good Lord's hands and I hope that he see's fit to keep her safe from this MONSTER that she say's she's so in love with. If one doesn't love themselves ENOUGH, and have ENOUGH self-worth to realize that NO ONE deserves to be beaten and hurt........then they don't truly know how to either accept or give love to or from anyone.
I want to again.........thank each and everyone of YOU for being there with me through all of this. It might not be over yet......who knows ???
I also want to publicly say......again, Thank-You Jesus !!!! You have never let me down and I know that you never will.
Thy will be done.........Amen :pray:

:clapper: :pray: :pray: Thank you Lord

Praise God and prayers sent for your daughter as well. I'm praying for my daughter is a similar situation. Fortunately she gave up the children and they are being raised by family. My heart goes out to you and praying for both of our families to be comforted.
-
Don,
Been a long road and truly right that you thank HIM for the small victories... we're just the cheering section.
Thank you, Lord!
Prayers will continue for your daughter to come to her knees, driven, fallen or collapsed, as long as she gets there before it's too late.
Prayers for you and your wife to continue to trust in Him and not blame yourselves. We as children come to a point, each with our earthly parents and our Heavenly Father, where we make or break our own lives by our choices!
A note of thanks perhaps to the judge with some fact finding directions to her false witness in court...?

Well said Brother Don, We can't even get out of bed every day without God giving us strength. We as his children are never out of his protection and never left alone. He controls everything that takes place that concerns us. So with that being said He has this thing with your daughter covered too. He stands ready to fight for her as long as we continue to lift her up. Don the bible says that the prayers of a righteous man availith much. His word also tell us that when a man's ways please the Lord even his enemies will be at peace with him. That is because God changes hearts. He is the only one who can do that. Your daughter has a heart problem and we are going to pray your daughter out of this time of her life and God will make it happen. Stay strong and ready to swoop in when He opens the door. God bless you and your family.......Dusty
