After falling apart at the news of a new relative interested in Simon we received yet another email. The aunt might not be an ideal candidate to raise Simon. They have given Simon's case file to the lawyers and it is up to them to decide if we have a case.
This roller coaster of the unknown is why we originally kept quiet about the possibility of things working out with Simon.
What we know now is this: IF we have a case it is a weak one. We can't walk into that court room feeling like it is just a formality. It will be a trail for us to endure.
So we are down once again to faith. If God means for Simon to be our son we have nothing to worry.
David defeated Goliath even though Goliath was a fierce giant.
The Israelite entered the promised land even though it was occupied by their enemy.
The walls of Jericho came crashing down with just the shouts of God's people.
Gideon was the weakest of the weak and he still lead his small army to victory.
Time and time again God uses the little guy so that it can be clear that it is God winning the battle and not us. We knew going into this that God would have to make a way. He has taken us this far. What we are asking for now is continued clarity. If Simon is meant to be our son we know nothing can get in our way. However, we are aware that God might be using us to a different end. Perhaps our story will help fuel the fight to help fix a broken system. Perhaps we will be the catalyst needed to have Simon's biological family step forward to raise him. We won't know until we are there. So please, continue to pray for us and lift us all up as week seek God's direction.
Thank you.
