*UPDATED – Thank you to all who prayed. Court went well on Thursday. Not great, my friend was still presented as a problem the court needed to fix, but better than what could have happened. The good news is, the hearing (which was only scheduled for an hour) dragged on and time ran out. They rescheduled a date in late October for my friend to come back and defend herself as she didn’t get a chance to bring any of her witnesses forward. This gives her a whole month to prepare for this expanded hearing. New strategies are being laid and the Lord’s heavenly host are being called on to fight this battle for her. I’m happy to report that 10 of us showed up to support her, and I think it made a difference. I feel it gave her credibility in the court’s eyes and it bolstered her lawyer’s confidence. It was a good day. God is good.
I’m sorry I haven’t been around this month. I’ve missed you all. I’ve wanted to write…but I just couldn’t. I was uninspired. My heart has been aching for a friend walking a very difficult road.
Will you pray for her and her children?
I won’t/can’t share the details yet. But I will say that she is, from everything I’ve ever seen, a wonderful, loving, Christian, homeschooling mom. And right now she is facing losing custody of her children and possible jail time.
I pray this is not so. May eyes be opened, hearts softened, and a fear of God and a reverence for His law be instilled in the hearts of men. May chains be broken and mercy prevail.
Some friends and I will be accompanying her to court tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers. Truly. Thank you.
