Trust

I will trust in the Lord with all my heart because He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Even though tomorrow threatens pain, I will trust in the Lord.  Whatever the new day brings, I can rest tonight because He is with me. He is with me through everything and what He allows is what should be.
Our little dude made it to his first birthday.  We first saw him when he was a week or two old.  He was tiny and yellow. Then we saw him again the day we brought him home. I keep wondering how that happened. It started with my brother coming over and saying that they took him. I think that's how it started anyway. I don't really remember. I do remember the frantic call on the back porch when the guy was trying to tell me little dude was going to be sent to some distant relative and I said no.  Michael and I grabbed my brother and after a tense meeting they handed us a baby.

Now, all I want is what is best for him. I realize I have no idea what is best for him.  I have little faith in "the agency". I have little faith in the courts. I have very little faith in his mother. I have no faith in his father. I have an amazing and growing faith in my capital F Father. 

I didn't sleep well last night. Of course I know the only reason I slept at all was because I know Jesus loves me. And, if our God is for us, whom then shall we fear?  There is no room for fear.  There is only room for trust. So, I will trust in the Lord. I will trust in the creator of the universe who did not even spare his own son. I do not know what His plan is (I would really, really like to by the way). I do know that He love me. He also loves that baby.

Tonight I will sleep and the morning will come.  The judge will do what he or she is compelled to do. I will pray for the judge and for all those in the court. Then I will rest in the peace that passes understanding and I will praise Him for himself.
