Answered Prayer

I got a call tonight from my mom as I was reading Evan his Bible story (we just started his Bible again. So we are at the Beginning!) Normally I wouldn't even have my phone with me, let alone answer it. I did to both! She told me I got a letter in the mail at my grandma's (I used her address for all my court stuff so Erik wouldn't have mine) it was from CYS (the place we do our visit exchange through.) They have cancelled the rest of our visits. I picked Evan up from his visit on Saturday, we are headed to the car when he tells me he didn't ride in a car seat from or to the visit. Wait...WHAT??? You mean no booster? No mom, just the regular seat like you sit in. Stop, turn around, we go back inside and I get ready to tell the lady what Evan had just told me but he beats me to it! :) She said she'd write it in the report and I'd probably be getting a call from the supervisor, she had some other things to right down. Oh REALLY! No she didn't tell me what they were but the letter did. And so did Evan on the way home. Apparently he also drove from and to the visit. No he has no drivers license. Oh wait...he did call me about 3 minutes after he picked Evan up, driving and talking. It just gets better and better. Well we will more than likely end up back in court but for now no visits! And that makes Evan a happy boy! I know whatever happens it's God's plan and I will continue to trust Him. I have seen him extend Erik chance after chance. It's like God keeps trying to reach him and he keeps backing away, every time! Thought he would change but so far he hasn't. I will continue to pray for God's will and guidance. I trust you Lord, wholeheartedly. Thanks for not giving up on me!!!

6 going 13


I was putting Evan to bed the other night and he told me he needed a sign on his door.
Me: What kind of sign?
Evan: No girls allowed sign!
Me: Why?
Evan: Well you know in case Zion or Kennedy come over they can't come into my room.
Me: Umm why would Kennedy or Zion come over? Evan, what about Mia?
Evan: Of course Mia can come in. But that's it! I don't want them messing up my stuff!
He told Bryan about the sign as he was making it.
Bryan: Does that mean Mom can't come into your room.
Evan: Yes, parents are allowed...and so is Mia.
Glad we got that straightened out!

Caleb aka Soup

I love Caleb! Today they laid his grandma LawrEl Hurley to rest. When I saw Caleb this morning he was his bubbly, smiley little self. The first thing he said was "My grandma died!" My mom, who was standing next to me said, "yes and now she's in Heaven with Jesus." Caleb's response was, " yeah, Satan didn't get her! Satan didn't get her!" Very matter-of-factly! I love it and he is so right! Satan did not get her. She is rejoicing in Heaven today. I like to think she has gathered some white, purple, lavender, pink and 1 red balloon today. LawrEl, they will never forget you or all you meant to them!

My Daddy


Recently when I put Evan to bed we go over how he and Mia are related. I usually have to explain how they are cousins. He mostly closes his eyes and shakes his head and says wait I just don't get it. Well tonight as I was explaining I used the example of his 1/2 brother. He is not related to me so he isn't related to Mia (not her cousin.) This brought up the topic of his visits. He asked me if he still had to go. When I said yes, he frowned and said he didn't want to go and he wanted his first daddy to go away and his second daddy to be is only daddy (me too Evan, me too.) He said he didn't like going to the visits, his little (2 1/2 year old) brother is mean. He said he hits me and punches me in the stomach and I tell but he doesn't get in trouble and I don't want to go anymore. Do I have to go. I wish I could say no but I can't. Yes, Evan you still have to go. What if you just don't take me? What would happen? I don't know, I'd get in trouble. Can't we just stop. There is a loop hole in our custody agreement. If he misses 2 consecutive visits all visits will be cancelled. He visits the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month and at times has missed 1 but not 2 in a row. I have often wondered what God is doing in this situation. I know that there is a big picture here I just don't see all of it. I got some of the pieces but not all of them. Faith! yep I'm walking by it. I do know this God has given Evan a daddy. Not one that shares a blood relation but one who loves him, cares for him and is a mirror to. He is a great role model and they are so much alike I often forget they haven't been in each others lives for ever. Bryan and I have had the conversation that we both think God was preparing Bryan for Evan long before he knew him and I believe that to be the truth. We know God listens to little kids and I pray he listens to mine.
