1st prayer: We prayed healing for Love. I needed to see Jesus in Love. I needed to know He heard our cry for our baby. When we went to pick him up to dress him up in his ohhh so cute suit, he was sitting up.eating.talking.standing.not laying down.not fussing. He didn't throw up his breakfast. You guys, this is HUGE. He's only been on meds since yesterday afternoon. This was all Jesus.
2nd (very specific)prayer: When we woke this morning it was super super hot. No breeze.nothing. just hot.stuffy.sticky. We've heard horror stories of families going to court only to wait outside for 5 hours before being seen. I didn't know where we would be waiting, so I prayed to see Jesus face in the breeze. We went to get Love, got him dressed and stepped outside only to be over come by such a sweet sweet breeze. It was one of the most comforting, loving feeling I've experienced. Only Jesus.
3rd prayer: I prayed the Lord would take my anxieties and turn them to peace. The whole way to court (which was covered in CRAZY traffic) I couldn't stop smiling. Not only did He erase my anxiety, He filled me with joy! Only Jesus.
4th prayer: That the Judge would show, have mercy on us, and see our case. He showed! We only had to wait about an hour (which is ahhhhmazing!) and went to his chambers for our case to be seen. The missing signature is a bit of an issue. He told our lawyer he wanted to summon her to come. We were prepared to pack up and head out to come back on a different date. But the Lord intervened. The judge wanted to go ahead and hear our case TODAY! He heard our case, will meet with our lawyer and the police officer he has summoned on Friday,and told us to come back on the 25th for our RULING! Only JESUS!
We are well aware there are many what ifs. And that we can't totally breathe a sigh of relief until we step foot on American soil with Love, but we're living in today. Today we are full of thanks. Today we've seen the face of Jesus.over and over. Today we are rejoicing for today. Oh how I hope you're rejoicing with us!
