Second Time’s a Charm??

Well, our court hearing didn’t happen :(  I stayed up most of the night praying.  I don’t know if it was that I was so exhausted or that I was emotionally overwhelmed or a combination of the two but Jack found me in a puddle of tears in the basement when he woke up in the morning.  I was due for a good cry and the thought of going the weekend without knowing anything was just about to kill me.  Then the phone rang at about 8:30 and I saw that it was Holt.  I yelled for Jack and then answered.  One of the first things Mary said was “this isn’t what your going to want to hear” and my heart sank.  As most of you know, I’ve been waiting for the ball to drop and I’ve had that devastating phone call from Holt before and I just about fell apart.  Then she tells me that the judge decided to take the day off and so they had rescheduled our court date for Tuesday.  Phew!!  It definitely wasn’t what I wanted to hear but better than what my crazy mind goes to when I hear that!  So, I spent the next few hours struggling tears but we had planned a whole weekend of activities with the kids so we moved on.  That first court date was miraculous timing and this new one still is!  I’m glad that it’s not on a Friday again so hopefully we will hear something sooner than three days afterward and our friends are having their baby girl that same day (planned c-section) and we’ve been joking since the beginning of our adoption process that it’s a race to see who gets their child first ;)  Maybe it will be a tie :)

Anyway, we ask for your prayers AGAIN for the judge and for Ranjit and for the lawyer.  I do wonder so much why God pressed on my heart so hard for me to pray so much Thursday night and what possibly Ranjit could’ve been going through or also possibly the judge since he took the day off.  Maybe he had a cricket game, or maybe it was something more serious where God knew he would need all those prayers I prayed for him.  I’ll never know but I am thankful to be vessle for our living God :)
