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.
