Okay prayer warriors, I need some intercession assistance...but first I must mention my praise-
I check my unemployment account online daily to check and see when they will be making their final decision. On Monday they were going to have their decision on Wed, on Tuesday it was moved to decision by Thursday, and today it showed a decision by Friday... I got a little urked, and called them.
The man I spoke with was very nice, read through my entire file with me on the phone, and asked a number of questions. He then told me there was something in my file that was keeping me from getting my unemployment checks and he was going to let me go and talk with the person that lifted those payment bans so to speak, and I should start getting my money soon. He stated that my employer had twice the amount of time and letters to defend their side, and they failed to do so, and he said based on the email evidence I sent them, and that I sent all my info in FAST and responded to their requests for info so efficiently that they were granting my request for unemployment!
So- thanks for your prayers- they were answered!
Okay, here is the urgent request for prayer and intercession.
My sister has a court hearing tomorrow to get her order for protection (against her husband) granted, and to hopefully get some relief (in the form of $$$)- based on the fact that the protection order is because he sexually abused their daughter (she just had her 4th b-day today). So his lawyer called our house today to tell us that He called the county to ask for a hearing extension and it was granted, so the hearing is off for tomorrow, and both parties will be notified of the new date by mail.
First off, we never got that phone call, nor did my sister get a letter in the mail. Secondly...why would BIL's lawyer call us to tell us that?
I got suspicious so I called the County Courthouse and asked if the hearing had been postponed. No one could tell me if it had, as it wasn't in the system as being cancelled, so they transfered me to someone, and I left her TWO messages and noted the urgency that she get back to us ASAP just in case my BIL's lawyer was trying to trick us into not showing up.
No one got back to us, and so we are showing up and showing up early to boot...we'll find out tomorrow if it was indeed cancelled and a new hearing date is coming up.
Here is my prayer...my niece has told us TERRIBLE things that her dad has done to her. I don't want to gross you out, but I must at least tell you something so you understand just how important it is that my BIL and his LAWYER do not win, or get custody of my niece.
My niece told my sister and I one day that Daddy pee's in her mouth. You can put two and two together and know that it wasn't pee- but she was too young to know that. He also tied her hands up when he was doing his thing with her. He was smart and never left a mark, and never penetrated her- so the medical exam she had showed nothing. All we have is multiple "statements" from my niece which we've sent to the States Attorney in the state they are from, and to the detectives, and kept our copies.
My sister does not have a lawyer, and has no money, and her state will pay for one down there, but she needs one up here. I have a good Christian lawyer she left a message with, but I know he will cost $$$
Prayers are that my B-I-L and his lawyer will NOT make it up here. And, if they do, the judge will believe my sister regardless of the fact that she did not tell the people that questioned her for a mere 30 minutes back in February and then determined that nothing ever happened.
Prayers that the truth will be so glaring, and the guilty actions of my bil will be transparent to the judge, and they will grant the protection order.
My sister put on the order that she wanted the state to pay to get her husband the help he needs to get well- but that she feared for her and my niece's safety and did not want him to have any visitation rights for now- in the future supervised would be allowed if deemed appropriate.
Secondly, for funds for the separation papers my sister will have to file in order to at least get child support started.
It is evident that my bil is not a believer like he said he was, and he is being used and directed by the evil one, and he is clearly under oppression from evil spirits...
We need prayer for strength and clarity. For calmness and peace, and for wisdom. Then I would like you all to Praise the Lord on our behalf for the victory that He has in store for us. Basically we are calling things that are not as though they are and speaking our end results that we want. The bible says that Jesus overcame the world, so we know we will be victorious, but I tell you guys...if he gets to take my niece away I will lose it! She is so precious to me and DH and obviously my sister...
Thank you so much for all your help. And Janet, don't worry- it is okay that I shared the few things that I shared in this post about what was done to her. I just didn't want you to be concerned about that.
Thanks for the prayers and for being there for me during this time. I will let you know tomorrow if we actually had the hearing or not- it's set for 9:00 am CST.
Hugs of thanks going off to you all!

The only time I was concerned was when you had mentioned them by name once, just to protect the dear little one.I do not even want to imagine what her Daddy has done to her based on the little you shared. We can only hope and pray that she is clear enough in speaking that to the appropriate people to get her father the help AND PUNISHMENT he needs, and that after that she will forget what occurred. She is still young enough that maybe, just maybe giving an appropriate loving home and appropriate relationships with whatever future father figures may come in her life that she will learn what is appropriate and healthy.I agree with the calls you made and showing up anyway. I would ONLY trust the court itself to tell you of a postponement. I would not trust a lawyer on the other side. Document everything!
