Neither of my friends received the news we were hoping to receive today. My mom, Eric, and I went to Doug's hearing with him today. Other family and friends were there to support him as well. Something is incredibly wrong with our justice system in this country. I had a hard time keeping myself together during the hearing, my heart felt like it was a breaking in a million pieces every time I looked at Doug at the other end of that long table. I can't imagine what his heart felt like. I can't imagine how heavy he is tonight. But, the fight I plan to continue to fight with prayer is not over. The good news is that for now Doug has guardianship of Amanda. However temporary that may be, it's where we stand tonight. May God continue to move the pieces into place however He sees fit for the good of Amanda. Doug--my kind friend, you are loved. I don't know how many times I've said this in the last few months, but I'll say it again--we'll just keep praying.

Mark didn't receive the news we were all hoping for either. Again, the fight I plan to continue to fight with prayer is not over. Join our community as we believe together for Mark's healing. I'm choosing to not deal with my questions tonight. I'm placing the doubts that have raced through my mind today aside and simply believing with all I have in me. Mark, Amy, and little Micah--you are loved and you are be prayed for tonight.
