Ok... this one was an answer to prayer that I hadn't even posted about yet, but we had shared with a few precious members of church for prayer.... but I think I should back up just a bit...
Amara has a twin sister. They were both beaten very severely... . thus Amara's 11 fractured vertebrae, fractured femur, fractured rib, and fractured orbit around her eye. Such a rough first 2 months of her life. But her twin sister, Aiyana, suffered much, much more. We are still unsure of her entire medical condition, but she is (short of God's amazing healing hand) hugely impacted and seemingly doomed to a life in a long-term care facility. Our hearts break for her and despite the fact that the judge originally ruled that we could not visit her, we decided to continue to ask.
I went to the DYFS meeting last week and asked again. They requested that I write a letter for the judge to review before the next court date in late October. I agreed and thought that this was my next course of action.
Amara's (and Aiyana's) case worker came out Friday and surprised us with some wonderful news. Despite what the judge had stated, the supervisors at the DYFS office had made an executive decision to allow us unrestricted access to her! Wow, what an awe-inspiring God who just flung open that door!!! We are very excited to find some time and take the children up to meet her. Oh, to touch her little broken body and pray for her in person!
Please continue to pray with us for Aiyana's healing. We serve a great God, who does not look at situations with human eyes. I am praying with the eyes of faith, where He healed the blind with one touch and raised the dead with a spoken word. He is the Alpha and the Omega and none of this is beyond Him. To God be the glory!
