Many prayers needed

You still have my prayers too, Savannah. I can't believe how they are treating the children - it makes me shiver thinking that this kind of thing can go on. I really, really hope and pray that this will be resolved soon. I know God will be in control and see things through.

The meeting had to be re-scheduled, because one of the inspectors has to be in court on the 30th. There isn't word yet on a new date.

Rachel is a nervous wreck, the poor dear. We invited John, April and the children to the lake for dinner, etc. and Rachel was an absolute wreck. She cried and screamed when she saw a spider (that is NOT her) she screamed and cried again when a balloon popped. . . she cried much of the day.......and later, when I reached out to stroke her face, as I've done so many times to comfort her.........she flinched. Blue

I can't tell you how much that hurt. None of the children ever flinched when I'd reach out to touch their faces....

Two days after John & April took the children, John lost the job that he had gotten earlier this year. He'd been out of work for over two years, and had finally gotten a good job with benefits..... So now, they've had no income since early April, and are behind in their lot rent and trailer payments. And they don't have enough clothes for the children, so have asked us to buy the children some. It's such a mess.

And . . . *sigh* I found out today, quite by accident, that this isn't the first time that John & April have been under investigation for fraud. They've been charged with it at least twice before. The person who told me, does background checks for the local police for CCW permits, and thought that I already knew about the former charges when he mentioned it to me. John was not brought up this way. He had good examples in my parents. They're honest people who always . . . always went out of their way to keep a good reputation.

Thank you for continuing to pray. The children need it even more than I do.

Poor Rachel, I hope there isn't any kind of abuse is causing her to fear. Savannah, you and the children are still in our prayer. I know the children will return to you and your parents. Have faith!!!

I can't wait for this horrible situation to have its happy ending. I know it will, I know that God is guiding you to where you need to be to get your children back. I can't wait for you to write about those babies being home and happy again. I'm praying that it will happen very soon!

OH MY GOODNESS SAVANNAH!!!! Those poor children......And especially Rachel. For her to be flinching and jumping and screaming and crying, there is a whole lot more going on than should be. I pray the children come back, and who knows, John and April might just return them on their own since they are behind in paying bills and all. They have been so stubborn about the whole situation, they probably don't know how to ask you to take them back, especially with the big ol' fuss April has made about things. It is time these babies come home, and please be prepared for whatever might come home with them. Their lives have been tragically turned upside down. There might be some major counseling needed once they do return. I pray for their safe return and I pray God keeps His watchful eye on them until they do come home.

{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} Rachel's reactions scare, for wondering what is going on at that home.

I am hoping and praying that those kids get to go back to you very, very soon. I am sorry to hear of the delay.

I'm so sorry about the delay, but only God knows what it'll be good for...
Of course we'll keep praying, especially for Rachel.

Savannah, I'm still praying that the children come home soon. Without the job, it doesn't sound like they can afford the kids for much longer. Maybe the kids will be home soon.
