Time to Fight!

I was just shocked and outraged after reading this blog post this morning.  We had the privilege of flying to Graham's country with this wonderful couple back in October when we were both on our first trip over to meet our little sweeties.  From the short time we had to spend with them I would say they are truly wonderful, God-honoring people.  They were friendly and outgoing, the kind of people that draw you in and you can't help but love. 

They had their court date today, on Valentines Day.  Their second trip over there has been full of complications and all sorts of obstacles have already been thrown at them.  You can read back on their blog to see all that they have been through just to make this second trip.  Court did not go well for them today.  This terrifies me.  This couple seems like they could talk the judge into anything and if they couldn't make the judge budge on her decision how can Brett and I (quiet as we are) have any hope?  Please pray for Theresa and Gary as they head back home to collect MORE paper work and work on re-doing their homestudy.  Please pray for little Mila as she needs to wait even longer now for her mommy and daddy to come get her. 




Pray for these judges too.  They just cannot wrap their minds around why anyone would want "these" children.  Especially those of us that have biological children of our own.  Pray for God to soften their hearts and for them to release these kids instead of playing games with the parents with all of the extra paper work and delays (that we have become all too familiar with ourselves). 

Going into this process we have heard over and over again that Satan does not want these children free.  This is a battle.  I am so glad to know we are not fighting this alone, we can't do this on our own.  God is the one leading this fight and the outcome for each of these children is up to Him and will bring Him glory in the end.
