Prayer warriors- I need your help. Some of you may remember that back in November of 2010, I met a hispanic woman at Children's hospital during Grayson's routine MRI. Her son was there for testing of autism in the next room over from us. I struck up a conversation with her through the curtains and tried to help as the Lord leaded. Ended up that a few of us pooled our resources and "adopted" her and her family for Christmas, and we were able to meet some of her immediate financial and emotional needs. I have kept in contact with her throughout the spring as we knew she was having difficulties with her children being alone with their father (her ex husband).
Well, this morning I received a frantic call from her and the news is not good. Long story short, sexual abuse has been discovered between the father and 8 year old daughter. CPS is now involved, and has allowed for the visitation rights to be removed between the girl and father. She has paid a lot of legal fees for this to occur and is broke. Her dilemma now is that her other 3 children are still required to have visitation with their father. She is distraught at this point.
Please join us in prayer as we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help resolve this issue. My heart breaks for this family and these children. While the law is there to help and protect, there are obviously some holes in the system (in my opinion) that truly can only be closed through the work of the God and through His people (you and I).
My next step is to have a friend of mine call her who speaks fluent Spanish to confirm that all i heard, I understood correctly. I will then try and contact a family Hispanic lawyer on our baseball team and see if she can offer any guidance or gratis work. Please pray that this will be resolved as soon as possible; that God will show up for this family in a supernatural way; that doors will open and she will know that it is straight from God; and that these children will be protected by God's Holy angels.
I will update you as i know more.
Bless you,
c-
