Kacey,
I have been keeping up with your posts but not posting much but I want you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I also want you to know that the Lord does not take lightly to harming any children. The Lord says
But whoso shall aoffend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea

Glad you went and things at least worked out for the moment and that you now know what would go on today. Your BIL's attorney should never talk yo your sister - the Court should notify her of any changes.

I will pray your sister gets representation. I know around here, they only take into consideration the income of the person, maybe yours will be the same.


LOL- she got the notice in the mail today that the hearing for today was cancelled...but our mail doesn't come until after 11:00am, and the hearing was at 9:00 am! Too funny!!!

Jennie- thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. I love that verse! I will share that with my sister. She's been reading alot of verses in Proverbs about the ways of the wicked shall perish, etc...etc... but I really like this verse you shared!

I appreciate that you are here to offer up your prayers for us- especially my sister and little niece.

I just wanted to point out something that I just recently found out about this verse. I guess I always figured a millstone was heavy...but it is actually the HUGE stones used for grinding grain. Animals had to PULL THEM TO ROTATE THEM. That says a lot for their weight. Imagine having cinder blocks (from building basements and such) hung around your neck and drowned. You wouldn't stand a chance. Now, imagine this MILLSTONE...and how much more God HATES THIS SIN that he used this as the imagery rather than something smaller.

I pray that the power of God is evident through your sister's case. I can't imagine what your sister, your neice, or you and your DH are dealing with emotionally. It makes me sick to even begin to think about what your little neice has been through. I pray that her father gets help for his problem, and that he is PUNISHED SEVERELY for these vicious sins against a helpless small girl. Through this, I pray that God is given all of the glory...and that he SMASHES through any and all lies that may be said to try and defend this man. It just makes me so sick I can't even think straight. Thankfully, even when words won't come for us to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes and knows the groanings of our hearts and goes to the Father for us.

Love,
Kelly

Kelly, thanks for that! My sister is a Little House on the Prairie freak, and I had the pleasure of seeing a millstone on an episode the other day- I didn't think anything of it when I read the verse, but you are so right...it is a HUGE stone!!!

I'm so glad that God impressed that upon you to share with me. I will share that with my sister as well! We have bible verses stuck all over the house and we pray them and speak them aloud daily! I appreciate all of your insight and for the prayers from you all!

My niece was kind enough to share her latest cold with me, so I'm off to bed to get some rest before I have to make her 6 layer Princess Castle cake for her B-day party tomorrow.
 
Kacey...

Isn't it funny how God uses something to touch our hearts? I almost didn't write about the millstone, cuz I thought maybe I was being silly, or that lots of people would already know about it. Instead, He used it to speak to you...

He is so good, even through the rough times...

I am so glad that you did write! It's funny but I bet that lots of people that want to post, don't because they think their thoughts are silly, or unimportant, but you just NEVER know when something you do or something you say will be an answer to someone else's prayers!!!

(thanks for putting your little "bun in the oven" picture back in your siggy!)
 
Kacey, I'm not able to be here often right now, but you and your family remain in my prayers.
