Pray for Tuesday

The time has finally come for the judge to make his decision about whether K will stay or go.  Ryan and I are going to court on Tuesday in hopes that we will help him make a ruling....FINALLY!  It has been 2 years and 4 months since this began and for children under 5, the timeline is 1 year, so we are clearly way past the deadline.  They have the goal of 1 year for very clear reasons...the more time that goes by, the more bonded they become and the harder transition becomes and they want permanency to guarantee these children won't be shuffled around.  We saw how being outside this timeline impacted K when he lived with his aunt and the transition back to us was so very difficult.
There's a lot that has happened in this case and we are all scratching our heads wondering why no decision has been made yet.  The lawyers, social workers and everyone involved is ready to move forward.  Please pray that K won't have the rug pulled from under his feet again.  We can still see the effects of this in his behavior from the 3 times he has already had to move.  God can make anything happen and I know that whatever happens is best....Khalif's bible verse today was, God's plan is perfect, just what I needed to hear! It just might be hard for awhile if our desires don't align with God's plan.  Please pray that we all have peace (Reggie has been really worried about this).
