My prayer requests

Since I seem to be on a roll tonight I'll go ahead and mention my prayer concerns for the foster kids.  Too bad I don't stay more up to date.  I keep thinking I'm going to have an afternoon to catch up or maybe I need a month.  Just doesn't seem to happen and when I get a free moment there is so much to do.  Doesn't seem possible that N & BG have been here for 10 months.  The entire school year plus some.  Thank goodness for Helen or I don't think I would have any time to catch my breath from the crazy busy mess of a 20 month old.  The kids are doing remarkable.  The transformation in N is nothing short of a miracle.  Praise God for that.  He is laughing, joking, splashing, and thoroughly bonded with Buddy.  He can laugh and appreciate humor like I never thought he could.  He understands teasing, mild sarcasm, and just how wonderful it is to be loved by a man.  Buddy has made such a difference in N.  My prayer is that this sweet boy never has to put up the walls to protect himself from a relationship with a man again.  I also pray that whatever the future holds that he will always know how much we love him and that he is going home to be with his mommy because she's his mommy, not because Nina and Buddy don't want him here.   I cannot begin to think of what it will be like for BG to understand where her Ni Ni, Buddy, Madewin, Uckie, Mille, Hen(Helen) and the rest of the Gilmartins are when she goes home.  This is home.  This is all she knows.  My heart weeps at the thought of her waking up in the middle of the night and crying for me and I won't be there. Prayers of protection,safety, and understanding for this sweet baby. Court is this week.  Not sure if that makes a difference in decision making or not.  It's time.  It's actually past time in my opinion.  I love these children and most days I'm in no hurry to see them go, but the longer they are here the harder it will be for them to leave.  My prayers have been to know how to help them, how to help their mom.  I have been strongly convicted that I need to have them closer to me so that my team and I can support this young woman and be there for N & BG.  She has a temporary job in the bubble.  I'm praying that it goes well and that we can move her closer to Flower Mound.  I would love to be apart of their daily lives.  Please add this to the prayers.   I can't stop there.  I got to go see our first foster child, A, and her brother and sister that lived with us for awhile, too.  Ariana, McKinsey, and Isaiah.  They will forever remain in my heart.  Ariana is living with her grandparents who are mommy and daddy to her.  The are affected by the vicious disease of poverty.  Then they are watching McKinsey and Isaiah for the summer.  Those 2 were adopted by a relative.  They were all 3 so happy and healthy when we met them at McDonalds.  They each willingly let me hug and kiss on them as much as I could.  They wanted to know why Buddy wasn't there, he had meetings.  They found great joy in retreating to former patterns of following Camille and being chased by Lucas.  Madeline made sure all drinks and wishes were met.  Love them and know that they are being loved.  Not sure that they have the best places to sleep at night or as they all pile into the front seat of pickup truck and Camille is horrified that they aren't in booster seats, my heart is sad for them.  I'm praying that I can have a clear answer in the best way to help them.  It is so good to see them and to know that they are stable in their lives and weren't afraid of who they would be leaving McDonalds with. They understood I was just there to visit.  Of course, McKinsey wanted to come home with me.  You know I would have taken her.
