Touches from God

The morning I told my mom about the latest update, she was driving to Terry's at about 8 in the morning. She was crying and praying when suddenly in the west was a brilliant rainbow. In our country, we get many rainbows, but almost never in the morning. We all felt like it was a touch from our Father.
 The evening we received the last update from SW it looked so dark. While mindlessly tidying up my house for the day, the tears wouldn't stop trickling. The children were so concerned.  What do you say? The next day I kept getting glimpses of Rest in my worry. Different times the words popped up unexpectedly in my mind, "It'll all be OK." "It will turn out right." So I'm holding onto that and those little glimpses of Faith have grown and today I feel full of Faith. I do not know how or why, because I could not feel this way on my own. So I trust and thank the Lord, because I know it's Him.
  I have talked to lawyer who was recommended to us to hire. She melted my heart and I wanted to hug her. She SO reminded me of our dear compassionate, COMPETENT (with capital letters) lawyer named, Megan, who finalized Isabel's adoption. I will call her Ginny. The first thing she is finding out for us is how much is Grandma going to fight and did she truly have a relationship with the girls??? Birth mom says, "No", but Grandma says, "Yes". Grandma can only legally file for custody if she has had a relationship with the girls. She claims to have kept Addie. However the time she claims to have kept her were 5 mo. before she was born??? However even with that blunder, we are told it is serious.
  Another touch.... Last evening I was listening to Faunsdale's song service after Sheldon's wedding. (thanks, friend, for the number!:) One group sang the song, "I Love that Man in the Middle" (David Patillo) and it gripped my heart how much the Man who was on the middle cross loves me. What He endured to save ME. How much I love Him, but how miserably I fail Him. And He keeps loving me. In that moment with my eyes shut tight I knew NOTHING would be too difficult to endure if it brought me Closer to Him....
   Please pray friends. Pray that Marv and I can hold onto that Rest and Faith and not worry. Pray that we are able to keep these girls FOREVER. Next Wednesday, the 14th of Aug., is the court date that will address the Paternal Grandma's involvement in the case. Please especially pray on that day. One thought that has been on my mind is this: If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it. I know we cannot trust in our prayers, we must trust God. We do not always get what we want, but the Bible says to pray for what you want (my own words:) and
