Sadness and heartache

I am asking for all of you to pray for my brother Philip and his wife Tabitha once again. They just found out this past Saturday that the birth mother of baby Judah wants to keep him. This as you can imagine has caused heart ache and pain but they are seeking the Lord through this trial.
They would have an easier time with this if they knew that the baby was going to a loving home. The birth mother has other children who have disabilities and she has not cared for them properly. There are so many situations surrounding this poor sweet baby boy staying with his birth mother and this is frustrating to my brother as you could imagine.
I am encouraged by my brothers love of the Lord and his humility. What an example you are to me to keep my eyes and heart on the Lord not in my own sinful ways. For you see the Lords will in your life although you may not like it you trust in his plan for you and Tabitha.
Please pray that the Lord touches the birth mothers heart and opens her up to change her life to serve the Lord and care for her children properly.

Pray for my new nephew Baby Judah

I am so excited to annouce the delivery of my brothers little boy Judah born yesterday evening. Judah was born a little early so, his little lungs are not fully developed and he has been sent over to a childrens hospital in TN so they may better serve him.
Please pray for Judah that his lungs will develop quickly and for a full healing. Also, please keep my brother Philip and his wife Tabitha in your prayers. To have a boy has been their hearts desire for over 15 years. This is their first adoption and as many of you reading this who have gone through the adoption process know this is hard.
Please pray that the hospital will find favor in allowing them the ability to spend time with Judah and for this process to go smoothly.
We all know that Judah is a gift from God and that Jesus has a plan for this sweet boy. May my brother and his family find peace and strength through all of this.
